ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ David Addresses Solomon Directly“Now as for you, my son Solomon, get to know the God of your father. Serve him with a sound heart and a devoted soul, because the LORD is searching every heart, every plan and thought. He will be found by you, assuming you are seeking him, but if you abandon him, he will abandon you forever. ¹⁰ So keep watching, because the LORD has chosen you to build the Temple of his sanctuary. So be strong, and get to work!”
¹¹ David Transfers Plans and Materials to SolomonAt this point in his address, David transferred to his son Solomon the construction plans for the Hall of Justice, its buildings, its treasure vaults, its upper rooms, its inner chambers, the housing for the Mercy Seat, ¹² and the plans for everything else that he had in mind for the courtyards of the Temple of the LORD. Included were plans for all of the surrounding vaults and treasuries of the Temple of God intended for storage of dedicated gifts, ¹³ for use by the ranks of priests and descendants of Levi, for all the work of service responsibilities in the Temple of the LORD, and for all of the utensils used in the work of the Temple of the LORD. ¹⁴ David also transferred to him by weight the gold that was to be used to craft the service utensils, the silver that was to be used to craft the service utensils, ¹⁵ the gold for the golden lamp stands and their lamps, the silver for a lamp stand and its lamps (each according to its intended use in the service), ¹⁶ the gold by weight for each table of the rows of bread, the silver for the silver tables, ¹⁷ pure gold for the forks, the basins, the cups, the golden bowls (along with enough gold by weight for each one), enough weight for each of the silver bowls, ¹⁸ refined gold for the altar of incense, by weight, along with his plans for crafting the golden chariot for the cherubim that spread out their wings to cover the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD.
¹⁹ David Continues His Address“All of these things the LORD made clear to me in writing at his direction—the construction plans for all of the building.”
²⁰ David continued with these words for his son Solomon: “Be strong and courageous, and get to work. Never be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor will he abandon you right up to your completion of the work for the service of the Temple of the LORD. ²¹ Now look! Here are the ranks of the priests and the descendants of Levi for the entire service of the Temple of God, and in all of the work there will be all types of volunteers who have skills for anything needed for the services. Furthermore, the officers and all of the people will be at your complete command.”
