King James Version (KJV)
1 Chronicles 22:6 Context
3And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight; 4Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David. 5And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death. 6Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel. 7And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God: 8But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight. 9Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Chronicles 22:6
22:5 Prepared, &c. - And good reason, because it was intended for thehonour of the great God, and was to be a type of Christ, in whom allfulness dwells, and in whom are hid all treasures.
22:8 Shed blood - Not that wars are simply unlawful, but to teach usthat the church (whereof the temple was an illustrious type) should bebuilt by Christ, the prince of peace, #Isa 9:6|, and that it shouldbe gathered and built up, not by might or power but by God'sspirit, #Zech 4:6|, and by the preaching the Gospel of peace.David therefore was less fit for that service, than one who had not beencalled to such bloody work. Likewise by setting him aside for this reason,God shewed how precious human life is to him.
