But 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.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 22 of 1 Chronicles. David explains to Solomon that he desires to build a house for God, but his role will be to prepare materials and hand the task to his son. He instructs him to seek the Lord, keep his commandments, and build the temple. Material preparation is inseparably connected with spiritual exhortation: construction of the sanctuary must be accompanied by covenant faithfulness.

Aber das Wort des HERRN kam zu mir und sprach: Du hast viel Blut vergossen und große Kriege geführt; darum sollst du meinem Namen nicht ein Haus bauen, weil du so viel Blutes auf die Erde vergossen hast vor mir.
Mas vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo: Tú has derramado mucha sangre, y has traído grandes guerras: no edificarás casa a mi nombre, porque has derramado mucha sangre en la tierra delante de mí:
Mais la parole de l'Eternel m'a été ainsi adressée: Tu as versé beaucoup de sang, et tu as fait de grandes guerres; tu ne bâtiras pas une maison à mon nom, car tu as versé devant moi beaucoup de sang sur la terre.
ma la parola del Signore mi è sopraggiunta, dicendo: Tu hai sparso molto sangue, ed hai fatte di gran guerre; tu non edificherai la Casa al mio Nome; perciocchè tu hai sparso sangue assai in terra nel mio cospetto.
Porém, veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo: Tu derramaste sangue em abundância, e fizeste grandes guerras; não edificarás casa ao meu nome; porquanto muito sangue tens derramado na terra, perante mim.
可是耶和華的話臨到我說:『你流了許多的血,打了多次大仗;你不可為我的名建造殿宇,因為你在我面前使許多血流在地上。
