Behold, 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.

Verse 9 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.

Siehe, der Sohn, der dir geboren soll werden, der wird ein Mann der Ruhe sein; denn ich will ihn ruhen lassen von all seinen Feinden umher; denn er soll Salomo heißen; denn ich will Frieden und Ruhe geben über Israel sein Leben lang.
He aquí, un hijo te nacerá, el cual será varón de reposo, porque yo le daré quietud de todos sus enemigos en derredor; por tanto su nombre será Salomón; y yo daré paz y reposo sobre Israel en sus días:
Te nacerá un hijo que será un hombre de reposo. Le daré reposo de todos sus enemigos de alrededor. Su nombre será Salomón, y daré paz y tranquilidad a Israel en sus días.
Voici, il te naîtra un fils, qui sera un homme de repos, et à qui je donnerai du repos en le délivrant de tous ses ennemis d'alentour; car Salomon sera son nom, et je ferai venir sur Israël la paix et la tranquillité pendant sa vie.
Ma ecco, ei ti nascerà un figliuolo, il quale sarà uomo di pace; ed io gli darò riposo da tutti i suoi nemici d’ogn’intorno; perciocchè, come il suo nome sarà Salomone, così al suo tempo io darò pace e quiete ad Israele.
Eis que o filho que te nascer será homem de repouso; porque repouso lhe hei de dar de todos os seus inimigos ao redor; portanto, Salomão será o seu nome, e paz e descanso darei a Israel nos seus dias.
看哪,你要生一個兒子,他必成為安寧的人;我必使他得享安寧,不被四圍仇敵擾亂。他的名字要叫 所羅門 ,在他的日子,我必使 以色列 平安康泰。
