Context of 1 Chronicles 22:17
15You also have available many workers, including stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and an innumerable array of workers who are skilled 16in using gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Get up and begin the work! May the Lord be with you!” David ordered all the officials of Israel to support his son Solomon. 18He told them, “The Lord your God is with you!

Get up and build the sanctuary of the Lord God! Then you can bring the ark of the Lord’s covenant and the holy items dedicated to God’s service into the temple that is built to honor the Lord.”
