1 Chronicles 22
22:1And David said, This is the house of the lord God, and this is the altar for the whole burnt-offering to Israel.
22:2And David said to gather together all the foreigners in the land of Israel. And he placed quarriers to quarry planed stones to build a house to the lord.
22:3And much iron for the nails of the doorways, and of the gates, and of the hinges, David prepared; and brass in multitude -- there was no counting its weight.
22:4And there was no number for the wood of cedars; for the Sidonians and the Tyrians brought wood of cedars in multitude to David.
22:5And David said, Solomon my son is a tender boy, and the house to be built to the lord must be to magnify upward, for a name and for glory in all the earth. I shall prepare for it. And David prepared for it in multitude before his decease.
22:6And he called Solomon his son, and gave charge to him to build the house to the lord God of Israel.
22:7And David said, Solomon, My child, it was upon my soul to build a house to the name of the lord my God.
22:8And the word of the lord came unto me, saying, You poured out blood in multitude, and you made great wars; you shall not build a house to my name, for you poured out much blood upon the earth before me.
22:9Behold, a son is born to you, this one will be a man of rest; and I will rest him from all his enemies round about. For Solomon is his name, and peace and rest I shall appoint over Israel in his days.
22:10This one shall build a house to my name, and this one shall be to me as a son, and I will be to him for father, and I will prepare the throne of his kingdom in Israel unto the eon.
22:11And now, O my son, may the lord be with you; and you shall prosper, and shall build a house to the lord your God, as he said concerning you.
22:12Only may the lord give to you wisdom and understanding, and strengthen you over Israel, to guard and to observe the law of the lord your God.
22:13Then the way shall prosper, if you should guard to observe the orders and the judgments which the lord gave charge to Moses for Israel. Be manly and be strong! Fear not nor be timid!
22:14And behold, I according to my poorness prepared for the house of the lord -- gold of a hundred thousand talents, and silver of a thousand thousand of talents, and brass, and iron of which there is no counting the weight, for it is in multitude. And wood and stones I prepared. And you add unto these things!
22:15And with you 3in 4multitude 1doing 2 the works] are craftsmen, quarriers of stones, and fabricators of wood, and every wise one for every work;
22:16in gold and silver, in brass and in iron in which there is no number. Rise up and act and the lord be with you!
22:17And David gave charge to all the rulers of Israel to assist Solomon his son, saying,
22:18Is not the lord with you? And he will give you rest round about, for he delivered up into my hand the ones dwelling the land, and the land is submitted before the lord, and before his people.
22:19Now give your hearts and your souls to seek the lord your God! And arise and build the sanctuary to the lord, to your God! to carry in the ark of the covenant of the lord, and the holy items of God, into the house being built to the name of the lord.
