22Then David said, "This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel."H1732H559H1004H3068H430H4196H5930H34782So David commanded to gather the aliens who were in the land of Israel; and he appointed masons to cut hewn stones to build the house of God.H1732H559H3664H1616H776H3478H5975H2672H2672H1496H68H1129H1004H4303And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails of the doors of the gates and for the joints, and bronze in abundance beyond measure,H1732H3559H1270H7230H4548H1817H8179H4226H5178H7230H49484and cedar trees in abundance; for the Sidonians and those from Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.H730H6086H369H4557H6722H6876H935H7230H730H6086H17325Now David said, "Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it." So David made abundant preparations before his death.H1732H559H8010H1121H5288H7390H1004H1129H3068H4605H1431H8034H8597H776H3559H1732H3559H7230H6440H41946Then he called for his son Solomon, and charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.H7121H8010H1121H6680H1129H1004H3068H430H34787And David said to Solomon: "My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the LORD my God;H1732H559H8010H1121H3824H1129H1004H8034H3068H4308"but the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 'You have shed much blood and have made great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight.H1697H3068H559H8210H1818H7230H6213H1419H4421H1129H1004H8034H8210H7227H1818H776H64409'Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be Solomon, for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.H1121H3205H376H4496H5117H341H5439H8034H8010H5414H7965H8253H3478H311710'He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be My son, and I will be his Father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.'H1129H1004H8034H1121H1H3559H3678H4438H3478H5704H576911"Now, my son, may the LORD be with you; and may you prosper, and build the house of the LORD your God, as He has said to you.H1121H3068H6743H1129H1004H3068H430H169612"Only may the LORD give you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel, that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.H3068H5414H7922H998H6680H3478H8104H8451H3068H43013"Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments with which the LORD charged Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.H6743H8104H6213H2706H4941H3068H6680H4872H3478H2388H553H3372H286514"Indeed I have taken much trouble to prepare for the house of the LORD one hundred thousand talents of gold and one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond measure, for it is so abundant. I have prepared timber and stone also, and you may add to them.H6040H3559H1004H3068H3967H505H3603H2091H505H505H3603H3701H5178H1270H4948H7230H6086H68H3559H325415"Moreover there are workmen with you in abundance: woodsmen and stonecutters, and all types of skillful men for every kind of work.H6213H4399H7230H2672H2796H68H6086H2450H439916"Of gold and silver and bronze and iron there is no limit. Arise and begin working, and the LORD be with you."H2091H3701H5178H1270H4557H6965H6213H306817David also commanded all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,H1732H6680H8269H3478H5826H8010H112118"Is not the LORD your God with you? And has He not given you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land is subdued before the LORD and before His people.H3068H430H5117H5439H5414H3427H776H3027H776H3533H6440H3068H6440H597119"Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God. Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy articles of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the LORD."H5414H3824H5315H1875H3068H430H6965H1129H4720H3068H430H935H727H1285H3068H6944H3627H430H1004H1129H8034H3068
