1Then DavidH1732 saidH559, This is the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430, and this is the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offering for IsraelH3478. 2And DavidH1732 commandedH559 to gatherH3664 together the strangersH1616 that were in the landH776 of IsraelH3478; and he setH5975 masonsH2672 to hewH2672 wrought stonesH68 to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of GodH430. 3And DavidH1732 preparedH3559 ironH1270 in abundanceH7230 for the nailsH4548 for the doorsH1817 of the gatesH8179, and for the couplingsH4226; and brassH5178 in abundanceH7230 withoutH369 weightH4948; 4and cedarH730 treesH6086 withoutH369 numberH4557: for the Zidonians and they of TyreH6876 broughtH935 cedarH730 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230 to DavidH1732. 5And DavidH1732 saidH559, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 is youngH5288 and tenderH7390, and the houseH1004 that is to be builded for the LORDH3068 mustH1121 be exceeding magnifical, of fameH8034 and of gloryH8597 throughoutH3605 allH3605 countriesH776: I will therefore makeH1431 preparationH3559 for it. SoH6440 DavidH1732 preparedH3559 abundantlyH7230 beforeH6440 his deathH4194. 6Then he calledH7121 for SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, and chargedH6680 him to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 7And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, As for meH589, it was in my heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430. 8But the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH6440, sayingH559, Thou hast shedH8210 bloodH1818 abundantlyH7230, and hast madeH6213 greatH1419 warsH4421: thou shalt notH3808 buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto my nameH8034, becauseH3588 thou hast shedH8210 muchH7230 bloodH1818 uponH5921 the earthH776 in my sightH6440: 9BeholdH2009, a sonH1121 shall be bornH3205 to thee, who shall be a manH376 of restH5117; and I will giveH5414 him restH5117 from allH3605 his enemiesH341 roundH5439 aboutH1961: for his nameH8034 shall be SolomonH8010, and I will giveH5414 peaceH7965 and quietness unto IsraelH3478 in his daysH3117: 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 for everH5769. 11NowH6258, my sonH1121, the LORDH3068 be with thee; and prosperH6743 thou, and buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, as he hath spokenH1696 concerning thee. 12OnlyH389 the LORDH3068 giveH5414 thee discretionH7922 and understandingH998, and giveH5414 thee chargeH5921 concerning IsraelH3478; that soH5414 thou mayest keepH8104 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. 13Then shalt thou prosperH6743, ifH518 thou observeH8104 to doH6213 the statutesH2706 and the judgmentsH4941 whichH834 the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 MosesH4872 with concerning IsraelH3478: be strongH2388, and of good courageH2388; fearH3372 notH408, neitherH408 be dismayedH2865. 14NowH1961, beholdH2009, in my affliction I have preparedH3559 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 an hundredH3967 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and a thousandH505 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and of brassH5178 and ironH1270 withoutH369 weightH4948; for it is in abundanceH7230: timberH6086 also and stoneH68 have I preparedH3559; and thou mayest addH3254 thereto. 15Moreover there are workmenH4399 with thee in abundanceH7230, hewersH2672 and workersH4399 of stoneH68 and timberH6086, and allH3605 menH2450 that are cunning in anyH3605 manner of workH4399; 16of the goldH2091, the silverH3701, and the brassH5178, and the ironH1270, there is noH369 numberH4557; ariseH6965 and be doingH6213, and the LORDH3068 be with thee. 17DavidH1732 also commandedH6680 allH3605 the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478 to helpH5826 SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, saying, 18Is notH3808 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 with youH3588? and hath he notH3808 givenH5414 youH3588 restH5117 on everyH5439 sideH5439? for he hath deliveredH5414 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 intoH776 mineH5973 handH3027; and the landH776 is subduedH3533 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and beforeH6440 his peopleH5971. 19NowH6258 setH5414 your heartH3824 and your soulH5315 to seekH1875 afterH1875 the LORDH3068 your GodH430; ariseH6965 therefore, and buildH1129 ye the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068 GodH430, to bringH935 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and the holyH6944 vesselsH3627 of GodH430, intoH935 the houseH1004 that is to be builtH1129 to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
