1
Then David
said
,
This
is
the house
of the LORD
God
,
and this
is
the altar
of the burnt offering
for Israel
.
2
And David
commanded
to gather together
the strangers
that
were
in the land
of Israel
;
and he set
masons
to hew
wrought
stones
to build
the house
of God
.
3
And David
prepared
iron
in abundance
for the nails
for the doors
of the gates
,
and for the joinings
;
and brass
in abundance
without weight
;
4
Also
cedar
trees
in abundance:
for the Zidonians
and they of Tyre
brought
much
cedar
wood
to David
.
5
And David
said
,
Solomon
my son
is
young
and tender
,
and the house
that is
to be builded
for the LORD
must be
exceeding
magnifical
,
of fame
and of glory
throughout
all
countries
:
I will
therefore
now
make preparation
for it. So David
prepared
abundantly
before
his death
.
6
Then he called
for Solomon
his son
,
and charged
him to build
an house
for the LORD
God
of Israel
.
7
And David
said
to Solomon
, My son, as for me, it was in my mind
to build
an house
unto the name
of the LORD
my God
:
8
But the word
of the LORD
came
to me, saying,
Thou hast shed
blood
abundantly
,
and hast made
great
wars
:
thou shalt not build
an house
unto my name
,
because
thou hast shed
much
blood
upon the earth
in my sight
.
9
Behold
, a son
sh
all
be born
to thee,
who
sh
all
be a man
of rest
;
and I will give
him rest
from
all
his enemies
round about
:
for his name
sh
all
be Solomon,
and I will give
peace
and quietness
unto Israel
in his days
.
10
He shall build
an 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
for
ever.
11
Now
, my son,
the LORD
be with thee; and prosper thou, and build
the house
of
the LORD
thy God
,
as he hath said
of thee.
12
Only
the LORD
give
thee wisdom
and understanding
,
and
give
thee charge
concerning Israel
,
that thou mayest keep
the law
of the LORD
thy God
.
13
Then
shalt thou prosper
,
if
thou takest heed
to fulfil
the statutes
and judgments
which
the LORD
charged
Moses
with
concerning
Israel
:
be strong
,
and of good courage
;
dread
not,
nor
be dismayed.
14
Now,
behold
, in my trouble
I have prepared
for the house
of the LORD
an hundred
thousand
talents
of gold
, and a
thousand
thousand
talents
of silver
;
and of brass
and iron
without weight
;
for it is in abundance
:
timber
also and stone
have I prepared
;
and thou mayest add
thereto.
15
Moreover
there are
workmen
with thee in abundance
,
hewers
and workers
of stone
and timber,
and all
manner of cunning men
for
every
manner
of work
.
16
Of the gold
,
the silver
,
and the brass
,
and the iron
,
there
is
no number
.
Arise
there
fore
, and be doing,
and the LORD
be with thee.
17
David
also commanded
all
the princes
of Israel
to help
Solomon
his son
,
saying
,
18
Is
not
the LORD
your God
with you? and hath he
not
given you rest
on
every
side? for he hath given
the inhabitants
of the land
into
mine 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
ye the sanctuary
of
the LORD
God
,
to bring
the ark
of the covenant
of
the LORD
,
and the holy
vessels
of
God
,
into the house
that is to be built
to the name
of
the LORD
.
