Divrey Hayamim Alef 22:6 In-Context

4 Also cedar timber in abundance, for the Tzidonim and the Tzorim brought much cedar lumber to Dovid.

5 And Dovid said, Sh’lomo beni (my son) is na’ar and tender, and the Bayit that is to be built for Hashem must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of tiferet before all nations. I will therefore now make preparation for it. So Dovid prepared abundantly before his mot (death).

6 Then he called for Sh’lomo bno, and charged him to build Bayit (House) for Hashem Elohei Yisroel.

7 And Dovid said to Sh’lomo, Beni (my son), as for me, it was in my mind to build Bayit (House) for the Shem of Hashem Elohai,

8 But the Devar Hashem came to me, saying, Thou hast done much shefach dahm, and hast made milchamot gedolot. Thou shalt not build Bayit (House) unto Shemi (My Name), because thou hast done much shefach dahm upon ha’aretz in My sight.
