6 Chamou então Davi a Salomão seu filho, e mandou-lhe que edificasse casa a o SENHOR Deus de Israel.

7 E disse Davi a Salomão: Filho meu, em meu coração tive o edificar templo ao nome do SENHOR meu Deus.

8 Mas veio a mim palavra do SENHOR, dizendo: Tu derramaste muito sangue, e trouxeste grandes guerras: não edificarás casa a meu nome, porque derramaste muito sangue na terra diante de mim:

9 Eis aqui, um filho te nascerá, o qual será homem de repouso, porque eu lhe darei quietude de todos seus inimigos em derredor; por tanto seu nome será Salomão; e eu darei paz e repouso sobre Israel em seus dias:

10 Ele edificará casa a meu nome, e ele me será a mim por filho, e eu lhe serei por pai; e afirmarei o trono de seu reino sobre Israel para sempre.
