instructed him to build a house

on 1 Chronicles 22:6-8

David tells Solomon that “it was in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God”. Verse 8 states it directly: “You have shed much blood and waged great wars”. Chronicles alone has David repeat the word of the LORD as a settled verdict.
