1 Chronicles 22:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And David said to Solomon, (A)My son, I purposed with myself to build an house to the Name of the Lord my God,
8 But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, (B)[a]Thou hast shed much blood, and hast made great battles: thou shalt not build an house unto my name: for thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
9 Behold, a son is born to thee, which shall be a man of rest, for I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: therefore his name is Solomon: and I will send peace and quietness upon Israel in his days.

His name will be Solomon,[a](H) and I will grant Israel peace and quiet(I) during his reign.
