Now David
assembled
at Jerusalem
all
the officials
of Israel,
the princes
of the tribes,
and the commanders
of the divisions
that served
the king,
and the commanders
of thousands,
and the commanders
of hundreds,
and the overseers
of
all
the property
and livestock
belonging to the king
and his sons,
with
the officials
and the mighty
men,
even
all
the valiant
men.
2
Then King
David
rose
to his feet
and said,
"Listen
to me, my brethren
and my people;
I had intended
to build
a permanent
home
for the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
and for the footstool
of our God.
So I had made preparations
to build
it.
3
"But God
said
to me, 'You shall not build
a house
for My name
because
you are a man
of war
and have shed
blood.'
4
"Yet, the LORD,
the God
of
Israel
,
chose
me from
all
the house
of my father
to be king
over
Israel
forever.
For He has
chose
n
Judah
to be a leader;
and in
the house
of
Judah
,
my father's
house,
and among the sons
of my father
He took pleasure
in me to make me king
over
all
Israel
.
5
"Of all
my son
s
(for the LORD
has given
me many
sons),
He has chosen
my son
Solomon
to sit
on the throne
of the kingdom
of the LORD
over
Israel.
6
"He said
to me, 'Your son
Solomon
is the one who
shall build
My house
and My courts;
for I have chosen
him to be a son
to Me, and I will be a father
to him.
7
'
I will establish
his kingdom
forever
if
he resolutely
performs
My commandments
and My ordinances,
as is done now.'
8
"So now,
in the sight
of
all
Israel,
the assembly
of the LORD
,
and in the hearing
of our God,
observe
and seek
after
all
the commandments
of the LORD
your God
so
that you may possess
the good
land
and bequeath
it to your
so
ns
after
you forever.
9
"As for you, my son
Solomon,
know
the God
of your father,
and serve
Him with a whole
heart
and a willing
mind;
for the LORD
searches
all
heart
s,
and understands
every
intent
of the thoughts.
If
you seek
Him, He will let you find
Him; but if
you forsake
Him, He will reject
you forever.
10
"Consider
now,
for the LORD
has chosen
you to build
a house
for the sanctuary;
be courageous
and act."
11
Then David
gave
to his son
Solomon
the plan
of the porch
of the temple, its buildings,
its storehouses,
its upper
rooms
,
its inner
rooms
and the room
for the mercy seat;
12
and the plan
of all
that he had
in mind,
for the courts
of the house
of the LORD,
and for all
the surrounding
rooms,
for the storehouses
of the house
of God
and
for the storehouses
of the dedicated things;
13
also for the divisions
of the priests
and the Levites
and for all
the work
of the service
of the house
of the LORD
and for all
the utensils
of service
in the house
of the LORD
;
14
for the golden
utensils
,
the weight
of gold
for all
utensils
for every
kind
of service;
for the silver
utensils
,
the weight
of silver
for all
utensils
for every
kind
of service;
15
and the weight
of gold for the golden
lampstands
and their golden
lamps,
with the weight
of each
lampstand
and its lamps
;
and the weight
of silver for the silver
lampstands
,
with the weight
of each
lampstand
and its lamps
according to the use
of each
lampstand
;
16
and the gold
by weight
for the tables
of showbread,
for each
table;
and silver
for the silver
tables;
17
and the forks,
the basins,
and the pitchers
of pure
gold;
and for the golden
bowls
with the weight
for each
bowl;
and for the silver
bowls
with the weight
for each
bowl;
18
and for the altar
of incense
refined
gold
by weight;
and
gold
for the model
of the chariot,
even the cherubim
that spread
out their wings and covered
the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD.
19
"All
this," said David, "the LORD
made me understand
in writing
by His hand
upon me, all
the details
of this pattern."
20
Then David
said
to his son
Solomon,
"Be strong
and courageous,
and act;
do not fear
nor
be dismayed,
for the LORD
God,
my
God,
is with you. He will not fail
you
nor
forsake
you until
all
the work
for the service
of the house
of the LORD
is finished.
21
"Now behold,
there are the divisions
of the priests
and the Levites
for all
the service
of the house
of God,
and every
willing man
of any
skill
will be with you in all
the work
for all
kinds of service.
The officials
also and all
the people
will be entirely
at your command."
