Contextual Overview

⁴² Then God turned and gave them up that they might worship the host of heaven as it is written in the book of the prophets, O Is''rael- ites, why have you offered me slain animals or sacrifices during the period of forty years in the wilderness? ⁴³ Indeed you have borne the tabernacle of Mo''loch and the star of the god Rem''phan; and you have made images to worship them; therefore I will remove you beyond Bab''ylon. ⁴⁴ Behold the tabernacle of the testimony of our fathers was in the wilderness just as he who spoke to Moses had commanded him to make it after the pattern which he had shown him. ⁴⁵ And this very tabernacle, our fathers, together with Joshua, brought into the land which God took away from the peoples whom he drove out before them and gave it to them for an inheritance, and it was handed down until the days of David: ⁴⁶ Who found favor before God and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob. ⁴⁷ But Solomon built God a house. ⁴⁸ Yet the Most High did not dwell in temples made with hands for, as the prophet had said, ⁴⁹ Heaven is my throne, and earth is the footstool under my feet. What kind of house will you build me? says the LORD, or Where is the place of my rest? ⁵⁰ Behold, has not my hand made all these things?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But Solomon built him an house. Though David was so set upon it, and made such large provisions for it, he was not to be the man that should build it, he having been greatly concerned in wars, and in the effusion of blood; but Solomon his son, who enjoyed much peace, was the person designed for this work, and who did accomplish it; of which there is a large account in the 1 Kings 6:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But Solomon ... - Built the temple. David was not permitted to do it because he had been a man of war, 1 Chronicles 22:8. He prepared the principal materials for the temple, but Solomon built it, 1 Chronicles 22:0: Compare 1 Kings 6:0.
