5. David said, "My son Solomon is young. He's never done anything like this before. The house that will be built for the Lord should be very grand and wonderful. It should be famous and beautiful in the eyes of all of the nations. I'll get things ready for it." So David got many things ready before he died.
6. Then he sent for his son Solomon. He told him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.
7. David said to Solomon, "My son, with all my heart I wanted to build a house for the Lord my God. That's where his Name will be.
