1 Chronicles 22

1Then David^H1732 said^H559, This is the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068 God^H430, and this is the altar^H4196 of burnt-offering^H5930 for Israel^H3478. 2And David^H1732 commanded^H559 to gather together^H3664 the sojourners^H1616 that were in the land^H776 of Israel^H3478; and he set^H5975 masons^H2672 to hew^H2672 wrought^H1496 stones^H68 to build^H1129 the house^H1004 of God^H430. 3And David^H1732 prepared^H3559 iron^H1270 in abundance^H7230 for the nails^H4548 for the doors^H1817 of the gates^H8179, and for the couplings^H4226; and brass^H5178 in abundance^H7230 without weight^H4948; 4and cedar^H730-trees^H6086 without number^H7230: for the Sidonians^H6722 and they of Tyre^H6876 brought^H935 cedar^H730-trees^H6086 in abundance^H369 to David^H1732. 5And David^H1732 said^H559, Solomon^H8010 my son^H1121 is young^H5288 and tender^H7390, and the house^H1004 that is to be builded^H1129 for Jehovah^H3068 must be exceeding^H4605 magnificent^H1431, of fame^H8034 and of glory^H8597 throughout all countries^H776: I will therefore make preparation^H3559 for it. So David^H1732 prepared^H3559 abundantly^H7230 before^H6440 his death^H4194. 6Then he called^H7121 for Solomon^H8010 his son^H1121, and charged^H6680 him to build^H1129 a house^H1004 for Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478. 7And David^H1732 said^H559 to Solomon^H8010 his son^H1121, As for me, it was in my heart^H3824 to build^H1129 a house^H1004 unto the name^H8034 of Jehovah^H3068 my God^H430. 8But the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 came to me, saying^H559, Thou hast shed^H8210 blood^H1818 abundantly^H7230, and hast made^H6213 great^H1419 wars^H4421: thou shalt not build^H1129 a house^H1004 unto my name^H8034, because thou hast shed^H8210 much^H7227 blood^H1818 upon the earth^H776 in my sight^H6440. 9Behold, a son^H1121 shall be born^H3205 to thee, who shall be a man^H376 of rest^H4496; and I will give him rest^H5117 from all his enemies^H341 round about^H5439; for his name^H8034 shall be Solomon^H8010, and I will give^H5414 peace^H7965 and quietness^H8253 unto Israel^H3478 in his days^H3117: 10he shall build^H1129 a house^H1004 for my name^H8034; and he shall be my son^H1121, and I will be his father^H1; and I will establish^H3559 the throne^H3678 of his kingdom^H4438 over Israel^H3478 for^H5704 ever^H5769. 11Now, my son^H1121, Jehovah^H3068 be with thee; and prosper^H6743 thou, and build^H1129 the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068 thy God^H430, as he hath spoken^H1696 concerning thee. 12Only Jehovah^H3068 give^H5414 thee discretion^H7922 and understanding^H998, and give thee charge^H6680 concerning Israel^H3478; that so thou mayest keep^H8104 the law^H8451 of Jehovah^H3068 thy God^H430. 13Then shalt thou prosper^H6743, if thou observe^H8104 to do^H6213 the statutes^H2706 and the ordinances^H4941 which Jehovah^H3068 charged^H6680 Moses^H4872 with concerning Israel^H3478: be strong^H2388, and of good courage^H553; fear^H3372 not, neither be dismayed^H2865. 14Now, behold, in my affliction^H3559 I have prepared^H3559 for the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068 a hundred^H3967 thousand^H505 talents^H3603 of gold^H2091, and a thousand^H505 thousand^H505 talents^H3603 of silver^H3701, and of brass^H5178 and iron^H1270 without weight^H4948; for it is in abundance^H7230: timber^H6086 also and stone^H68 have I prepared^H3559; and thou mayest add^H3254 thereto. 15Moreover there are workmen^H6213 with thee in abundance^H7230, hewers^H2672 and workers^H2796 of stone^H68 and timber^H6086, and all men^H2450 that are skilful in every manner of work^H4399: 16of the gold^H2091, the silver^H3701, and the brass^H5178, and the iron^H1270, there is no number^H4557. Arise^H6965 and be doing^H6213, and Jehovah^H3068 be with thee. 17David^H1732 also commanded^H6680 all the princes^H8269 of Israel^H3478 to help^H5826 Solomon^H8010 his son^H1121, saying, 18Is not Jehovah^H3068 your God^H430 with you? and hath he not given you rest^H5117 on every side^H5439? for he hath delivered^H5414 the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776 into my hand^H3027; and the land^H776 is subdued^H3533 before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068, and before^H6440 his people^H5971. 19Now set^H5414 your heart^H3824 and your soul^H5315 to seek^H1875 after Jehovah^H3068 your God^H430; arise^H6965 therefore, and build^H1129 ye the sanctuary^H4720 of Jehovah^H3068 God^H430, to bring^H935 the ark^H727 of the covenant^H1285 of Jehovah^H3068, and the holy^H6944 vessels^H3627 of God^H430, into the house^H1004 that is to be built^H1129 to the name^H8034 of Jehovah^H3068.
