1 Chronicles 28:5

Read in context

1 Chronicles 28:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 but God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for My Name, because you are a man of war who has spilled blood.’

4 Yet the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all my father’s house to be king over Israel forever. For He chose Judah as leader, and from the house of Judah He chose my father’s household, and from my father’s sons He was pleased to make me king over all Israel.

5 And of all my sons—for the LORD has given me many sons—He has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

6 And He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as My son, and I will be his Father.

7 I will establish his kingdom forever, if he resolutely carries out My commandments and ordinances, as is being done this day.’
