1 Chronicles 22:7-16
7And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, My sonH1121, as for me, it was in my mindH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 my GodH430:
8But the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came to me, sayingH559, Thou hast shedH8210 bloodH1818 abundantlyH7230, and hast madeH6213 greatH1419 warsH4421: thou shalt not buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto my nameH8034, because thou hast shedH8210 muchH7227 bloodH1818 upon the earthH776 in my sightH6440.
9Behold, a sonH1121 shall be bornH3205 to thee, who shall be a manH376 of restH4496; and I will give him restH5117 from all his enemiesH341 round aboutH5439: for his nameH8034 shall be SolomonH8010, and I will giveH5414 peaceH7965 and quietnessH8253 unto IsraelH3478 in his daysH3117.1
10He shall buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034; and he shall be my sonH1121, and I will be his fatherH1; and I will establishH3559 the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4438 over IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769.
11Now, my sonH1121, YhwhH3068 be with thee; and prosperH6743 thou, and buildH1129 the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, as he hath saidH1696 of thee.
12Only YhwhH3068 giveH5414 thee wisdomH7922 and understandingH998, and give thee chargeH6680 concerning IsraelH3478, that thou mayest keepH8104 the lawH8451 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430.
13Then shalt thou prosperH6743, if thou takest heedH8104 to fulfilH6213 the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 which YhwhH3068 chargedH6680 MosesH4872 with concerning IsraelH3478: be strongH2388, and of good courageH553; dreadH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865.
14Now, behold, in my troubleH6040 I have preparedH3559 for the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 an hundredH3967 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and a thousandH505 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and of brassH5178 and ironH1270 without weightH4948; for it is in abundanceH7230: timberH6086 also and stoneH68 have I preparedH3559; and thou mayest addH3254 thereto.2
15Moreover there are workmenH4399H6213 with thee in abundanceH7230, hewersH2672 and workersH2796 of stoneH68 and timberH6086, and all manner of cunning menH2450 for every manner of workH4399.3
16Of the goldH2091, the silverH3701, and the brassH5178, and the ironH1270, there is no numberH4557. AriseH6965 therefore, and be doingH6213, And YhwhH3068 be with thee.
