God's Specific Choice

Commentators note that God's selection of Solomon was a specific and emphatic choice. An earlier revelation told David one of his sons would build the temple, but a later one named Solomon directly. The phrasing 'he shall build' underscores that God's plan was precise, designating Solomon specifically, not David, for this holy task.
