1 Kings 5:2-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 Solomon sent this message to Hiram: 3 “You know my father David was not able to build a temple for the name of Yahweh his God. This was because of the warfare all around him until the Lord put his enemies under his feet.(A) 4 The Lord my God has now given me rest all around; there is no enemy or crisis.(B) 5 So I plan to build a temple for the name of Yahweh my God,(C) according to what the Lord promised my father David: ‘I will put your son on your throne in your place, and he will build the temple for My name.’(D)

1 Kings 8:17-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 It was in the desire of my father David
to build a temple for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.(A)
18 But the Lord said to my father David,
“Since it was your desire to build a temple for My name,
you have done well to have this desire.(B)
19 Yet you are not the one to build it;
instead, your son, your own offspring,
will build it for My name.”(C)
20 The Lord has fulfilled what He promised.
I have taken the place of my father David,(D)
and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised.(E)
I have built the temple for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
2 Chronicles 6:2
