Book 13 1 Chronicles Chapter 022

 

022:001Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this
is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

 

022:002And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were
in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones
to build the house of God.

 

022:003And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the
doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in
abundance without weight;

 

022:004Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of
Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

 

022:005And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the
house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding
magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I
will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared
abundantly before his death.

 

022:006Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build
an house for the LORD God of Israel.

 

022:007And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my
mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

 

022:008But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed
blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not
build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood
upon the earth in my sight.

 

022:009Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of
rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round
about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace
and quietness unto Israel in his days.

 

022:010He shall build an 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 for ever.

 

022:011Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and
build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.

 

022:012Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give
thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law
of the LORD thy God.

 

022:013Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the
statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with
concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not,
nor be dismayed.

 

022:014Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of
the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand
thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without
weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I
prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

 

022:015Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and
workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for
every manner of work.

 

022:016Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is
no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with
thee.

 

022:017David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon
his son, saying,

 

022:018Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you
rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the
land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD,
and before his people.

 

022:019Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God;
arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God,
to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy
vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name
of the LORD.
