1
Then David
said,
"This
is the house
of the LORD
God,
and this
is the altar
of burnt offering
for Israel."
2
So David
gave orders
to gather
the foreigners
who
were in the land
of Israel,
and he set
stonecutters
to hew
out stones
to build
the house
of God.
3
David
prepared
large
quantities
of iron
to make the nails
for the doors
of the gates
and for the clamps,
and more
bronze
than could be weighed;
4
and
timber
s
of cedar
logs beyond
number,
for the Sidonians
and Tyrians
brought
large quantities
of cedar
timber
to David.
5
David
said,
"My son
Solomon
is young
and inexperienced,
and the house
that is to be built
for the LORD
shall be exceedingly
magnificent,
famous
and glorious
throughout all
lands.
Therefore now
I will make
preparation
for it." So
David
made
ample
preparation
s
before
his death.
6
Then he called
for his son
Solomon,
and charged
him to build
a house
for the LORD
God
of Israel.
7
David
said
to Solomon,
"My son,
I had intended
to build
a house
to the name
of the LORD
my God.
8
"But the word
of the LORD
came
to me, saying,
'
You have shed
much
blood
and have waged
great
wars;
you shall not build
a house
to My name,
because
you have shed
so
much
blood
on the earth
before
Me.
9
'
Behold,
a son
will be born
to you, who
shall be a man
of rest;
and I will give
him rest
from all
his enemies
on every side;
for his name
shall be Solomon,
and I will give
peace
and quiet
to Israel
in his days.
10
'
He shall build
a house
for My name,
and he shall be My son
and I will be his father;
and I will establish
the throne
of his kingdom
over
Israel
forever.'
11
"Now,
my son,
the LORD
be with you that you may be successful,
and build
the house
of
the LORD
your God
just
as He has spoken
concerning
you.
12
"Only
the LORD
give
you discretion
and understanding,
and
give
you charge
over
Israel,
so that you may keep
the law
of
the LORD
your God.
13
"Then
you will prosper,
if
you are careful
to observe
the statutes
and the ordinances
which
the LORD
commanded
Moses
concerning
Israel.
Be strong
and courageous,
do not fear
nor
be dismayed.
14
"Now behold,
with great pains
I have prepared
for the house
of the LORD
100,000
talents
of gold
and 1,000,000
talents
of silver,
and bronze
and iron
beyond
weight,
for they are in great quantity;
also timber
and stone
I have prepared
,
and you may add
to them.
15
"Moreover, there are many
workmen
with you, stonecutters
and masons
of stone
and carpenters,
and all
men who are skillful
in every
kind of work.
16
"Of the gold,
the silver
and the bronze
and the iron
there is no
limit.
Arise
and work,
and may the LORD
be with you."
17
David
also commanded
all
the leaders
of Israel
to help
his son
Solomon,
saying,
18
"Is not
the LORD
your God
with you? And has He not given you rest
on every side?
For He has given
the inhabitants
of the land
into my hand,
and the land
is subdued
before
the LORD
and
before
His people.
19
"Now
set
your heart
and your soul
to seek
the LORD
your God;
arise,
therefore, and build
the sanctuary
of
the LORD
God,
so that you may bring
the ark
of the covenant
of
the LORD
and the holy
vessels
of God
into the house
that is to be built
for the name
of
the LORD
."
