1 Kings 5:3-5
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

4 But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence.
5 Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: my son, whom I will set upon the throne in thy piece, he shall build a house to my name.
