David was not incompetent before the sin, only after. He was already old by that time.

God did not allow him to build the temple because he was a man of war, not peace. Solomon had peace from the beginning.

David did gather the materials necessary to build the temple.

Because of David’s sin, he had no peace in his house until the day he died, even having to flee for his life from his own son.

Solomon had peace from the beginning....but not in the end unlike his dad.

Solomon became an Abomination of Desolation selling out for 666 gold talents per year, strange women, and paganism.

David repented and was spiritual saved, Solomon remained an enmity to God at the time of his death. Something about Jesus (Through David's other son Nathan), taking up cross denying vain glory (Which Solomon developed), and perseverance in that story...
