John Gill Commentary 1 Chronicles 22:9

"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:" — 1 Chronicles 22:9 (ASV)

Behold, a son shall be born to you
For this was said to David before the birth of Solomon, see (2 Samuel 7:12 2 Samuel 7:13) (12:24)

who shall be a man of rest, and I will give him rest from all his
enemies round about :
and so should be at leisure for such a work, and his people enjoy great prosperity and riches, and so be capable of contributing largely and liberally to it:

for his name shall be Solomon ;
which signifies peace, and is one of the six persons that had their names given them before they were born, as the Jews observe ^F17 :

and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days ;
and so a proper time to begin and carry on such a work; of the fulfilment of this prophecy, see (1 Kings 4:24 1 Kings 4:25) (1 Kings 5:3 1 Kings 5:4) .
