Verse Concepts
The word of Jehovah came to me, saying: 'You have shed much blood and have fought many wars. You are not to build a house for my name. This is because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight. You will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon (peace), and I will grant Israel peace and quiet during his reign.
I have lived too long with those who hate peace. I am for peace, but when I talk about it, they only talk about war.
