8. But the word of Adonai came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and fought many battles. You will not build a House for My Name because you have shed much blood before Me on the earth.
9. Behold, a son will be born to you who will be a man at rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon and I will confer shalom and quietness on Israel in his days.
10. He will build a House for My name; he will be My son and I will be His Father. I will establish his royal throne over Israel forever.’
11. “Now, my son, may Adonai be with you, and may you succeed in building the House of Adonai your God as He spoke concerning you.
12. Only may Adonai give you insight and understanding when He gives you charge over Israel so that you may observe the Torah of Adonai your God.
13. Then you will prosper, if you carefully observe the statutes and the ordinances that Adonai commanded Moses concerning Israel. Chazak! And be courageous! Do not be afraid or dismayed.
14. “Now behold, with great pain I have provided for the House of Adonai 100,000 talents of gold, a million talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond weighing for there is so much of it. I have also prepared wood and stone, and you must add to them.
