Solomon sent back this message to Hiram:
“You know that David my father, because of the wars that beset him, could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God until such time as the LORD should put his enemies under the soles of his feet. But now the LORD, my God, has given me rest on all sides, without adversary or misfortune. So I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD, my God, as the LORD said to David my father: Your son whom I will put upon your throne in your place shall build the house for my name. 1 Kings 5:16-19
