22Then David said, "The house of the LORD God is to be here, and also the altar of burnt offering for Israel."H1732H559H1004H3068H430H4196H5930H3478 2So David gave orders to assemble the aliens living in Israel, and from among them he appointed stonecutters to prepare dressed stone for building the house of God.H1732H559H3664H1616H776H3478H5975H2672H2672H1496H68H1129H1004H430 3He provided a large amount of iron to make nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, and more bronze than could be weighed.H1732H3559H1270H7230H4548H1817H8179H4226H5178H7230H4948 4He also provided more cedar logs than could be counted, for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought large numbers of them to David.H730H6086H369H4557H6722H6876H935H7230H730H6086H1732 5David said, "My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD should be of great magnificence and fame and splendor in the sight of all the nations. Therefore I will make preparations for it." So David made extensive preparations before his death.H1732H559H8010H1121H5288H7390H1004H1129H3068H4605H1431H8034H8597H776H3559H1732H3559H7230H6440H4194 6Then he called for his son Solomon and charged him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.H7121H8010H1121H6680H1129H1004H3068H430H3478 7David said to Solomon: "My son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God.H1732H559H8010H1121H3824H1129H1004H8034H3068H430 8But this word of the LORD came to me: 'You have shed much blood and have fought many wars. You are not to build a house for my Name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.H1697H3068H559H8210H1818H7230H6213H1419H4421H1129H1004H8034H8210H7227H1818H776H6440 9But you will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon, and I will grant Israel peace and quiet during his reign.H1121H3205H376H4496H5117H341H5439H8034H8010H5414H7965H8253H3478H3117 10He is the one who will build a house for my Name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.'H1129H1004H8034H1121H1H3559H3678H4438H3478H5704H5769 11"Now, my son, the LORD be with you, and may you have success and build the house of the LORD your God, as he said you would.H1121H3068H6743H1129H1004H3068H430H1696 12May the LORD give you discretion and understanding when he puts you in command over Israel, so that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.H3068H5414H7922H998H6680H3478H8104H8451H3068H430 13Then you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws that the LORD gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.H6743H8104H6213H2706H4941H3068H6680H4872H3478H2388H553H3372H2865 14"I have taken great pains to provide for the temple of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, a million talents of silver, quantities of bronze and iron too great to be weighed, and wood and stone. And you may add to them.H6040H3559H1004H3068H3967H505H3603H2091H505H505H3603H3701H5178H1270H4948H7230H6086H68H3559H3254 15You have many workmen: stonecutters, masons and carpenters, as well as men skilled in every kind of workH6213H4399H7230H2672H2796H68H6086H2450H4399 16in gold and silver, bronze and iron--craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, and the LORD be with you."H2091H3701H5178H1270H4557H6965H6213H3068 17Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon.H1732H6680H8269H3478H5826H8010H1121 18He said to them, "Is not the LORD your God with you? And has he not granted you rest on every side? For he has handed the inhabitants of the land over to me, and the land is subject to the LORD and to his people.H3068H430H5117H5439H5414H3427H776H3027H776H3533H6440H3068H6440H5971 19Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the LORD your God. Begin to build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the sacred articles belonging to God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD."H5414H3824H5315H1875H3068H430H6965H1129H4720H3068H430H935H727H1285H3068H6944H3627H430H1004H1129H8034H3068
