1Chronicles 22

22Then David said, "This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel."H1732H559H1004H3068H430H4196H5930H34782So David gave orders to gather the foreigners that were in the land of Israel, and he appointed stonemasons to cut finished stones for building God's house.H1732H559H3664H1616H776H3478H5975H2672H2672H1496H68H1129H1004H4303David supplied a great deal of iron to make the nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, together with an immeasurable quantity of bronze,H1732H3559H1270H7230H4548H1817H8179H4226H5178H7230H49484and innumerable cedar logs, because the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought a large quantity of cedar logs to David.H730H6086H369H4557H6722H6876H935H7230H730H6086H17325David said, "My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly great and famous and glorious in all the lands. Therefore, I must make provision for it." So David made lavish preparations for it before his death.H1732H559H8010H1121H5288H7390H1004H1129H3068H4605H1431H8034H8597H776H3559H1732H3559H7230H6440H41946Then he summoned his son Solomon and instructed him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.H7121H8010H1121H6680H1129H1004H3068H430H34787"My son," David said to Solomon, "It was in my heart to build a house for the name of the LORD my God,H1732H559H8010H1121H3824H1129H1004H8034H3068H4308but the word of the LORD came to me: 'You have shed much blood and waged great wars. You are not to build a house for My name because you have shed so much blood on the ground before Me.H1697H3068H559H8210H1818H7230H6213H1419H4421H1129H1004H8034H8210H7227H1818H776H64409But a son will be born to you; he will be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his surrounding enemies, for his name will be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel during his reign.H1121H3205H376H4496H5117H341H5439H8034H8010H5414H7965H8253H3478H311710He is the one who will build a house for My name. He will be My son, and I will be his father. I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.'H1129H1004H8034H1121H1H3559H3678H4438H3478H5704H576911"Now, my son, may the LORD be with you, and may you succeed in building the house of the LORD your God, as He said about you.H1121H3068H6743H1129H1004H3068H430H169612Above all, may the LORD give you insight and understanding when He puts you in charge of Israel so that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.H3068H5414H7922H998H6680H3478H8104H8451H3068H43013Then you will succeed if you carefully follow the statutes and ordinances the LORD commanded Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or discouraged.H6743H8104H6213H2706H4941H3068H6680H4872H3478H2388H553H3372H286514"Notice I have taken great pains to provide for the house of the LORD— 3,775 tons of gold, 37,750 tons of silver, and bronze and iron that can't be weighed because there is so much of it. I have also provided timber and stone, but you will need to add more to them.H6040H3559H1004H3068H3967H505H3603H2091H505H505H3603H3701H5178H1270H4948H7230H6086H68H3559H325415You also have many workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and people skilled in every kind of workH6213H4399H7230H2672H2796H68H6086H2450H439916in gold, silver, bronze, and iron— beyond number. Now begin the work, and may the LORD be with you."H2091H3701H5178H1270H4557H6965H6213H306817Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon:H1732H6680H8269H3478H5826H8010H112118"The LORD your God is with you, isn't He? And hasn't He given you rest on every side? For He has handed the land's inhabitants over to me, and the land has been subdued before the LORD and His people.H3068H430H5117H5439H5414H3427H776H3027H776H3533H6440H3068H6440H597119Now determine in your mind and heart to seek the LORD your God. Get started building the LORD God's sanctuary so that you may bring the ark of the LORD's covenant and the holy articles of God to the temple that is to be built for the name of the LORD."H5414H3824H5315H1875H3068H430H6965H1129H4720H3068H430H935H727H1285H3068H6944H3627H430H1004H1129H8034H3068

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
