1 Chronicles 28

1And DavidH1732 assembledH6950 allH3605 the prices of IsraelH3478, the princesH8269 of the tribesH7626, and the captainsH8269 of the companies that servedH8334 the kingH4428 by course, and the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505, and the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967, and the rulersH8269 over allH3605 the substanceH2428 and possessionsH7399 of the kingH4428 and of his sonsH1121, with the officersH8269, and the mightyH1368 menH1368, evenH853 allH3605 the mightyH1368 menH1368 of valour, unto JerusalemH3389. 2Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 stoodH6965 upH6965 uponH5921 his feetH7272, and saidH559, HearH8085 meH5921, my brethrenH251, and my peopleH5971: as for meH5921, it was in mineH5973 heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 of restH4496 for the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and for the footstool of our GodH430; and I had madeH3559 readyH3559 for the buildingH1129. 3But GodH430 saidH559 unto meH3808, Thou shalt notH3808 buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, becauseH3588 thou art a manH376 of warH4421, and hast shedH8210 bloodH1818. 4Howbeit the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, choseH977 meH5921 outH5921 of allH3605 the houseH1004 of my fatherH1 to be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 for everH5769: for he hath chosenH977 JudahH3063 to be princeH5057; and in the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, the houseH1004 of my fatherH1; and among the sonsH1121 of my fatherH1 he tookH1961 pleasureH7521 in meH5921 to makeH7521 meH5921 kingH4428 over allH3605 IsraelH3478: 5And of allH3605 my sonsH1121, (for the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 meH5414 manyH7227 sonsH1121,) he hath chosenH977 SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to sitH3427 uponH5921 the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4438 of the LORDH3068 over IsraelH3478. 6And he saidH559 unto meH589, SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121, he shall buildH1129 my houseH1004 and my courts: for I have chosenH977 him to be my sonH1121, and I will be his fatherH1. 7And I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438 for everH5769, ifH518 he be constant to doH6213 my commandmentsH4687 and my judgmentsH4941, as at this dayH3117. 8NowH6258 therefore, in the sightH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478, the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068, and in the audience of our GodH430, observeH8104 and seekH1875 outH3423 allH3605 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430: that ye may possessH3423 this goodH2896 landH776, and leaveH4616 it for an inheritanceH5157 to your childrenH1121 afterH310 youH3605 for everH5769. 9And thou, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045 thou the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, and serveH5647 him with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 and with a willingH2655 mindH3820: for the LORDH3068 searcheth allH3605 heartsH3820, and understandeth allH3605 the imaginations of the thoughtsH4284: ifH518 thou seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of thee; but ifH518 thou forsakeH5800 him, he will cast thee offH853 for everH5703. 10TakeH2388 heedH7200 nowH6258; for the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 thee to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the sanctuaryH4720: be strongH2388, and doH6213 it. 11Then DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 the patternH8403 of the porchH197 of the templeH1004, and of the housesH1004 thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upperH5944 roomsH2315 thereof, and of the innerH6442 chambersH2315 thereof, and of the placeH5414 of the mercy-seat: 12and the patternH8403 of allH3605 that he had by the spiritH7307, for the courts of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for allH3605 the chambersH3957 roundH5439 aboutH1961, for the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and for the treasuriesH214 of the dedicatedH6944 things: 13also for the courses of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and for allH3605 the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of serviceH5656 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: 14of goldH2091 by weightH4948 for the vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, for allH3605 vesselsH3627 of everyH3605 kindH5656 of serviceH5656; of silverH3701 for allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 by weightH4948, for allH3605 vesselsH3627 of everyH3605 kindH5656 of serviceH5656: 15by weightH4948 also for the candlesticks of goldH2091, and for the lampsH5216 thereof, of goldH2091, by weightH4948 for every candlestick and for the lampsH5216 thereof, and for the candlesticks of silverH3701, silverH3701 by weightH4948 for every candlestick and for the lampsH5216 thereof, according to the useH5656 of every candlestick: 16and the goldH2091 by weightH4948 for the tablesH7979 of shewbread, for every tableH7979; and silverH3701 for the tablesH7979 of silverH3701: 17and the fleshhooks, and the basons, and the cups, of pureH2889 goldH2091: and for the goldenH2091 bowlsH4219 by weightH4948 for every bowlH4219; and for the silverH3701 bowlsH4219 by weightH4948 for every bowlH4219: 18and for the altarH4196 of incenseH7004 refinedH2212 goldH2091 by weightH4948: and goldH2091 for the patternH8403 of the chariotH4818, evenH5921 the cherubimH3742, that spreadH6566 outH5921 their wings, and covered the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068. 19AllH3605 this, said DavidH3027, have I been madeH4399 to understandH7919 in writingH3791 from the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, evenH5921 allH3605 the worksH5921 of this patternH8403. 20And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, Be strongH2388 and of good courageH2388, and doH6213 it: fearH3372 notH3808, norH3808 be dismayedH2865: for the LORDH3068 GodH430, evenH5704 my GodH430, is with thee; he will notH3808 failH3615 thee, norH3808 forsakeH5800 thee, untilH5704 allH3605 the workH4399 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 be finishedH3615. 21And, beholdH2009, there are the courses of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, for allH3605 the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430: and there shall be with thee in allH3605 mannerH1697 of workH4399 everyH3605 willingH5081 manH5081 that hath skillH2451, for anyH3605 mannerH1697 of serviceH5656: also the captainsH8269 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 will be whollyH3605 at thy commandmentH1697.
