1 Chronicles 22:5-7 God's Word Translation (GW)

5. David thought, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the temple that will be built for the Lord must be magnificent, large, famous, praised, and honored in all other countries. I’ll prepare ⌊the building materials⌋ for him.” So David prepared many materials ⌊for Solomon⌋ before he died.

6. He summoned his son Solomon and commanded him to build a temple for the Lord God of Israel.

7. David told his son Solomon, “I had my heart set on building a temple for the name of the Lord, my God.
