1 Then David 1732 said 559, This is the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 God 430, and this is the altar 4196 of the burnt offering 5930 for Israel 3478.
2 And David 1732 commanded 559 to gather together 3664 the strangers 1616 that were in the land 776 of Israel 3478; and he set 5975 masons 2672 to hew 2672 wrought 1496 stones 68 to build 1129 the house 1004 of God 430.
3 And David 1732 prepared 3559 iron 1270 in abundance 7230 for the nails 4548 for the doors 1817 of the gates 8179, and for the joinings 4226; and brass 5178 in abundance 7230 without weight 4948;
4 Also cedar 730 trees 6086 in abundance 369 4557: for the Zidonians 6722 and they of Tyre 6876 brought 935 much 7230 cedar 730 wood 6086 to David 1732.
5 And David 1732 said 559, Solomon 8010 my son 1121 is young 5288 and tender 7390, and the house 1004 that is to be builded 1129 for the LORD 3068 must be exceeding 4605 magnifical 1431, of fame 8034 and of glory 8597 throughout all countries 776: I will therefore now make preparation 3559 for it. So David 1732 prepared 3559 abundantly 7230 before 6440 his death 4194.
6 Then he called 7121 for Solomon 8010 his son 1121, and charged 6680 him to build 1129 an house 1004 for the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478.
7 And David 1732 said 559 to Solomon 8010, My son 1121, as for me, it was in my mind 3824 to build 1129 an house 1004 unto the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 my God 430:
8 But the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came to me, saying 559, Thou hast shed 8210 blood 1818 abundantly 7230, and hast made 6213 great 1419 wars 4421: thou shalt not build 1129 an house 1004 unto my name 8034, because thou hast shed 8210 much 7227 blood 1818 upon the earth 776 in my sight 6440.
9 Behold, a son 1121 shall be born 3205 to thee, who shall be a man 376 of rest 4496; and I will give him rest 5117 from all his enemies 341 round about 5439: for his name 8034 shall be Solomon 8010, and I will give 5414 peace 7965 and quietness 8253 unto Israel 3478 in his days 3117.
10 He shall build 1129 an house 1004 for my name 8034; and he shall be my son 1121, and I will be his father 1; and I will establish 3559 the throne 3678 of his kingdom 4438 over Israel 3478 for 5704 ever 5769.
11 Now, my son 1121, the LORD 3068 be with thee; and prosper 6743 thou, and build 1129 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 thy God 430, as he hath said 1696 of thee.
12 Only the LORD 3068 give 5414 thee wisdom 7922 and understanding 998, and give thee charge 6680 concerning Israel 3478, that thou mayest keep 8104 the law 8451 of the LORD 3068 thy God 430.
13 Then shalt thou prosper 6743, if thou takest heed 8104 to fulfil 6213 the statutes 2706 and judgments 4941 which the LORD 3068 charged 6680 Moses 4872 with concerning Israel 3478: be strong 2388, and of good courage 553; dread 3372 not, nor be dismayed 2865.
14 Now, behold, in my trouble 6040 I have prepared 3559 for the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 an hundred 3967 thousand 505 talents 3603 of gold 2091, and a thousand 505 thousand 505 talents 3603 of silver 3701; and of brass 5178 and iron 1270 without weight 4948; for it is in abundance 7230: timber 6086 also and stone 68 have I prepared 3559; and thou mayest add 3254 thereto.
15 Moreover there are workmen 6213 4399 with thee in abundance 7230, hewers 2672 and workers 2796 of stone 68 and timber 6086, and all manner of cunning men 2450 for every manner of work 4399.
16 Of the gold 2091, the silver 3701, and the brass 5178, and the iron 1270, there is no number 4557. Arise 6965 therefore, and be doing 6213, and the LORD 3068 be with thee.
17 David 1732 also commanded 6680 all the princes 8269 of Israel 3478 to help 5826 Solomon 8010 his son 1121, saying,
18 Is not the LORD 3068 your God 430 with you? and hath he not given you rest 5117 on every side 5439? for he hath given 5414 the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 into mine hand 3027; and the land 776 is subdued 3533 before 6440 the LORD 3068, and before 6440 his people 5971.
19 Now set 5414 your heart 3824 and your soul 5315 to seek 1875 the LORD 3068 your God 430; arise 6965 therefore, and build 1129 ye the sanctuary 4720 of the LORD 3068 God 430, to bring 935 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, and the holy 6944 vessels 3627 of God 430, into the house 1004 that is to be built 1129 to the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.
