22 : 1 Then David said,Here shall be the house of theLordGod and here the altar of burnt offering for Israel.
22 : 2 David commanded to gather together theresident aliens who were in the land of Israel, and heset stonecutters to prepare dressed stones for building the house of God.
22 : 3 David also provided great quantities of iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for clamps,as well as bronze in quantities beyond weighing,
22 : 4 and cedar timbers without number,for the Sidonians and Tyrians brought great quantities of cedar to David.
22 : 5 For David said,Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for theLordmust be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and glory throughout all lands. I will therefore make preparation for it.So David provided materials in great quantity before his death.
22 : 6 Then he called for Solomon his son and charged him to build a house for theLord, the God of Israel.
22 : 7 David said to Solomon,My son,I had it in my heart to build a house to the name of theLordmy God.
22 : 8 But the word of theLordcame to me, saying,You have shed much blood and have waged great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed so much blood before me on the earth.
22 : 9 Behold, a son shall be born to you who shall be a man of rest.I will give him rest from all his surrounding enemies.For his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.
22 : 10 He shall build a house for my name.He shall be my son, and I will be his father, and I will establish his royal throne in Israel forever.
22 : 11 Now, my son,theLordbe with you, so that you may succeed in building the house of theLordyour God, as he has spoken concerning you.
22 : 12 Only, may theLordgrant you discretion and understanding, that when he gives you charge over Israel you may keep the law of theLordyour God.
22 : 13 Then you will prosper if you are careful to observe the statutes and the rules that theLordcommanded Moses for Israel.Be strong and courageous. Fear not; do not be dismayed.
22 : 14 With great pains I have provided for the house of theLord100,000 talentsof gold, a million talents of silver, andbronze and iron beyond weighing, for there is so much of it; timber and stone, too, I have provided. To these you must add.
22 : 15 You have an abundance of workmen: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and all kinds of craftsmen without number, skilled in working
22 : 16 gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Arise and work!TheLordbe with you!
22 : 17 David also commandedall the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
22 : 18 Is not theLordyour God with you? Andhas he not given you peace on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land is subdued before theLordand his people.
22 : 19 Nowset your mind and heart to seek theLordyour God. Arise and build the sanctuary of theLordGod,so that the ark of the covenant of theLordand the holy vessels of God may be brought into a house builtfor the name of theLord.
