דברי הימים א, פרק כ״ב, פסוק י״א

After sharing the prophecy He received from God, a father turns to his son with a deeply personal blessing. David shifts from delivering a divine message to offering his own heartfelt encouragement to Solomon [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. He expresses absolute certainty that God will be with his son, relying fully on the divine promise [מלבי״ם].

David emphasizes that the time is finally right for action. Having spent his own life securing the borders of the nation, David is now handing over a peaceful kingdom. The enemies are subdued, the government is stable, and the path is completely clear for Solomon to fulfill his destiny [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

This blessing focuses on two specific areas that perfectly mirror God's earlier promises [מלבי״ם]. First, David blesses Solomon with success, defined as enjoying complete peace and rest from any surrounding threats. Second, he blesses him with the ability to physically construct the Temple. David's profound hope is that all of these events will unfold exactly as God had declared in advance [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
