See, a son shall be born to you; he shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; indeed, his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace[a] and quiet to Israel in his days.(A) 10 He shall build a house for my name. He shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him, and I will establish his royal throne in Israel forever.’(B) 11 Now, my son, the Lord be with you, so that you may succeed in building the house of the Lord your God, as he has spoken concerning you.(C) 12 Only, may the Lord grant you discretion and understanding, so that when he gives you charge over Israel you may keep the law of the Lord your God.(D) 13 Then you will prosper, if you are careful to observe the statutes and the ordinances that the Lord commanded Moses for Israel. Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid or dismayed.(E)

But you will have a son who will be a man of peace(A) and rest,(B) and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon,[a](C) and I will grant Israel peace and quiet(D) during his reign. 10 He is the one who will build a house for my Name.(E) He will be my son,(F) and I will be his father. And I will establish(G) the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’(H)

11 “Now, my son, the Lord be with(I) you, and may you have success and build the house of the Lord your God, as he said you would. 12 May the Lord give you discretion and understanding(J) when he puts you in command over Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God. 13 Then you will have success(K) if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws(L) that the Lord gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous.(M) Do not be afraid or discouraged.
