2 Solomon sent this message to Hiram: 3 “You know my father David was not able to build a temple for the name of Yahweh his God. This was because of the warfare all around him until the Lord put his enemies under his feet.(A) 4 The Lord my God has now given me rest all around; there is no enemy or crisis.(B) 5 So I plan to build a temple for the name of Yahweh my God,(C) according to what the Lord promised my father David: ‘I will put your son on your throne in your place, and he will build the temple for My name.’(D)
