Book 13 1 Chronicles Chapter 028

 

028:001And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of
the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered
to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands,
and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the
substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with
the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the
valiant men, unto Jerusalem.

 

028:002Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me,
my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to
build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the
LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for
the building:

 

028:003But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my
name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed
blood.

 

028:004Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house
of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath
chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the
house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked
me to make me king over all Israel:

 

028:005And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he
hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the
kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

 

028:006And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house
and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will
be his father.

 

028:007Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be
constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this
day.

 

028:008Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of
the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for
all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess
this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your
children after you for ever.

 

028:009And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and
serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for
the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the
imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be
found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off
for ever.

 

028:010Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house
for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

 

028:011Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch,
and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and
of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours
thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,

 

028:012And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the
courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round
about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the
treasuries of the dedicated things:

 

028:013Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for
all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for
all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.

 

028:014He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all
instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all
instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every
kind of service:

 

028:015Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their
lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the
lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight,
both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof,
according to the use of every candlestick.

 

028:016And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for
every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:

 

028:017Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the
cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for
every bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason of
silver:

 

028:018And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold
for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread
out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the
LORD.

 

028:019All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing
by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.

 

028:020And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good
courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD
God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee,
nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for
the service of the house of the LORD.

 

028:021And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even
they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of
God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of
workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of
service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at
thy commandment.
