1 # Then David <01732> said <0559> (8799), This is the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> God <0430> , and this is the altar <04196> of the burnt offering <05930> for Israel <03478>.
2 And David <01732> commanded <0559> (8799) to gather together <03664> (8800) the strangers <01616> that were in the land <0776> of Israel <03478>; and he set <05975> (8686) masons <02672> (8802) to hew <02672> (8800) wrought <01496> stones <068> to build <01129> (8800) the house <01004> of God <0430>.
3 And David <01732> prepared <03559> (8689) iron <01270> in abundance <07230> for the nails <04548> for the doors <01817> of the gates <08179>, and for the joinings <04226>; and brass <05178> in abundance <07230> without weight <04948> ;
4 Also cedar <0730> trees <06086> in abundance <0369> <04557>: for the Zidonians <06722> and they of Tyre <06876> brought <0935> (8689) much <07230> cedar <0730> wood <06086> to David <01732>.
5 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799), Solomon <08010> my son <01121> is young <05288> and tender <07390>, and the house <01004> that is to be builded <01129> (8800) for the LORD <03068> must be exceeding <04605> magnifical <01431> (8687), of fame <08034> and of glory <08597> throughout all countries <0776>: I will therefore now make preparation <03559> (8686) for it. So David <01732> prepared <03559> (8686) abundantly <07230> before <06440> his death <04194>.
6 # Then he called <07121> (8799) for Solomon <08010> his son <01121>, and charged <06680> (8762) him to build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> for the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.
7 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) to Solomon <08010>, My son <01121>, as for me, it was in my mind <03824> to build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> unto the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> my God <0430>:
8 But the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came to me, saying <0559> (8800), Thou hast shed <08210> (8804) blood <01818> abundantly <07230>, and hast made <06213> (8804) great <01419> wars <04421>: thou shalt not build <01129> (8799) an house <01004> unto my name <08034>, because thou hast shed <08210> (8804) much <07227> blood <01818> upon the earth <0776> in my sight <06440>.
9 Behold, a son <01121> shall be born <03205> (8737) to thee, who shall be a man <0376> of rest <04496>; and I will give him rest <05117> (8689) from all his enemies <0341> (8802) round about <05439>: for his name <08034> shall be Solomon <08010>, and I will give <05414> (8799) peace <07965> and quietness <08253> unto Israel <03478> in his days <03117> .
10 He shall build <01129> (8799) an house <01004> for my name <08034>; and he shall be my son <01121>, and I will be his father <01>; and I will establish <03559> (8689) the throne <03678> of his kingdom <04438> over Israel <03478> for <05704> ever <05769>.
11 Now, my son <01121>, the LORD <03068> be with thee; and prosper <06743> (8689) thou, and build <01129> (8804) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, as he hath said <01696> (8765) of thee.
12 Only the LORD <03068> give <05414> (8799) thee wisdom <07922> and understanding <0998>, and give thee charge <06680> (8762) concerning Israel <03478>, that thou mayest keep <08104> (8800) the law <08451> of the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>.
13 Then shalt thou prosper <06743> (8686), if thou takest heed <08104> (8799) to fulfil <06213> (8800) the statutes <02706> and judgments <04941> which the LORD <03068> charged <06680> (8765) Moses <04872> with concerning Israel <03478>: be strong <02388> (8798), and of good courage <0553> (8798); dread <03372> (8799) not, nor be dismayed <02865> (8735).
14 Now, behold, in my trouble <06040> I have prepared <03559> (8689) for the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> an hundred <03967> thousand <0505> talents <03603> of gold <02091>, and a thousand <0505> thousand <0505> talents <03603> of silver <03701>; and of brass <05178> and iron <01270> without weight <04948>; for it is in abundance <07230>: timber <06086> also and stone <068> have I prepared <03559> (8689); and thou mayest add <03254> (8686) thereto.
15 Moreover there are workmen <06213> (8802) <04399> with thee in abundance <07230>, hewers <02672> (8802) and workers <02796> of stone <068> and timber <06086>, and all manner of cunning men <02450> for every manner of work <04399> .
16 Of the gold <02091>, the silver <03701>, and the brass <05178>, and the iron <01270>, there is no number <04557> . Arise <06965> (8798) therefore, and be doing <06213> (8798), and the LORD <03068> be with thee.
17 # David <01732> also commanded <06680> (8762) all the princes <08269> of Israel <03478> to help <05826> (8800) Solomon <08010> his son <01121>, saying,
18 Is not the LORD <03068> your God <0430> with you? and hath he not given you rest <05117> (8689) on every side <05439>? for he hath given <05414> (8804) the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776> into mine hand <03027> ; and the land <0776> is subdued <03533> (8738) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and before <06440> his people <05971> .
19 Now set <05414> (8798) your heart <03824> and your soul <05315> to seek <01875> (8800) the LORD <03068> your God <0430>; arise <06965> (8798) therefore, and build <01129> (8798) ye the sanctuary <04720> of the LORD <03068> God <0430>, to bring <0935> (8687) the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>, and the holy <06944> vessels <03627> of God <0430>, into the house <01004> that is to be built <01129> (8737) to the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.
