22Davidsaid,"ThisiswheretheLord God's temple will be, along with the altar of burnt offerings for Israel."H1732H559H1004H3068H430H4196H5930H3478 2David subsequently issued orders to conscript the resident aliens who lived in the land of Israel and appointed stonecutters to prepare stones for building a temple for God.H1732H559H3664H1616H776H3478H5975H2672H2672H1496H68H1129H1004H430 3David also provisioned abundant supplies of iron for nails to build the doors for gates and to build clamps. Furthermore, he provided so much bronze it wasn't inventoried,H1732H3559H1270H7230H4548H1817H8179H4226H5178H7230H4948 4as well as an innumerable amount of cedar logs, since the Sidonians and Tyrians brought vast amounts of cedar to David.H730H6086H369H4557H6722H6876H935H7230H730H6086H1732 5David thought, "My son Solomon is young and inexperienced. The temple that will be built for the Lord is to be magnificent, well known, and internationally honored, so I will complete preparations for it." So before his death, David finished providing a great quantity of materials for it.H1732H559H8010H1121H5288H7390H1004H1129H3068H4605H1431H8034H8597H776H3559H1732H3559H7230H6440H4194 6Later, David called for his son Solomon and directed him to build a temple to the Lord God of Israel.H7121H8010H1121H6680H1129H1004H3068H430H3478 7David addressed Solomon: "I have attempted to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God.H1732H559H8010H1121H3824H1129H1004H8034H3068H430 8But the word of the Lord came to me, telling me 'You have shed a lot of blood and fought great battles. You won't be building a house for me name, since you have shed so much blood on the earth in my sight.H1697H3068H559H8210H1818H7230H6213H1419H4421H1129H1004H8034H8210H7227H1818H776H6440 9But look! A son born to you will live comfortably, because I will give him rest from all his enemies that surround him on every side, since his name will be "Solomon" - I will give peace and quiet for Israel during his lifetime.H1121H3205H376H4496H5117H341H5439H8034H8010H5414H7965H8253H3478H3117 10He will build a temple to my name. He will be a son to me, I myself will be a father to him, and I will secure his royal throne in Israel forever.'H1129H1004H8034H1121H1H3559H3678H4438H3478H5704H5769 11So now, my son, may the Lord be with you, so that you are successful in constructing the temple of the Lord your God, just as he has spoken about you.H1121H3068H6743H1129H1004H3068H430H1696 12"Only may the Lord give you discretion and understanding as he places you in charge over Israel, so you can keep the Law of the Lord your God.H3068H5414H7922H998H6680H3478H8104H8451H3068H430 13Then you will be successful, if you keep on observing the statutes and ordinances that the Lord commanded Moses concerning Israel. Be strong, be courageous, and never give in to fear or dismay.H6743H8104H6213H2706H4941H3068H6680H4872H3478H2388H553H3372H2865 14At great effort I have provided for the temple of the Lord 100,000 gold talents, 1,000,000 silver talents, as well as bronze and iron beyond calculation, since there is so much of it. I've also provided timber and stone, but you'll need to obtain more.H6040H3559H1004H3068H3967H505H3603H2091H505H505H3603H3701H5178H1270H4948H7230H6086H68H3559H3254 15You already have plenty of workers, including stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and an innumerable group of artisans who are skilled at working inH6213H4399H7230H2672H2796H68H6086H2450H4399 16gold, silver, bronze, and iron. So begin the work, and may the Lord be with you."2212H2091H3701H5178H1270H4557H6965H6213H3068 17David also issued these orders to all of the leaders of Israel to assist his son Solomon:H1732H6680H8269H3478H5826H8010H1121 18"Isn't the Lord your God with you?Hasn't he surrounded you with comfort?He has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my control, and the land lies subdued both in the Lord's presence and before his people.H3068H430H5117H5439H5414H3427H776H3027H776H3533H6440H3068H6440H5971 19So set your minds and hearts to seek the Lord your God, to get up, and to build the sanctuary of the Lord God, so the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the holy vessels of God may be stored in a temple built for the name of the Lord."H5414H3824H5315H1875H3068H430H6965H1129H4720H3068H430H935H727H1285H3068H6944H3627H430H1004H1129H8034H3068
