1 Chronicles 22 David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for whole burnt offerings for Israel.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for whole burnt offerings for Israel. ² Then David ordered the strangers in the land of Israel to be assembled, and appointed stone cutters to cut hewn stones to build the house for God. ³ He provided also iron in abundance for nails, for the doors and gates, and for hinges; and brass in abundance, without weight, ⁴ and cedar beams innumerable; for the Sidonians and Tyrians, brought for David, cedar timber in abundance. ⁵ And David said, My son Solomon is young and tender, and the house to be built for the Lord is for extraordinary grandeur, for renown and glory, through every land, I will make provision for it. So David provided materials in abundance before his death. ⁶ And he called Solomon his son, and gave him a charge, to build the house for the Lord God of Israel. ⁷ And David said to Solomon, My son, it was in my mind to build a house for the name of the Lord God, ⁸ when there came to me a word from the Lord saying, Thou hast shed much blood, and fought many battles, thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou hast shed much blood on the earth before me. ⁹ Behold a son shall be born to thee. He shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies round about. For his name shall be Solomon; and I will give Israel peace and rest in his days. ¹⁰ He shall build a house for my name. And he shall be to me a son; and I will be to him a father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom in Israel forever. ¹¹ Now therefore, my son, the Lord will be with thee, and will prosper thee, and thou shalt build a house for the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken concerning thee. ¹² Let but the Lord grant thee wisdom and understanding, and strengthen thee over Israel, that thou mayst keep and perform the law of the Lord thy God; ¹³ then will he prosper thee, if thou be watchful to execute the statutes, and judgments, which the Lord enjoined on Israel by Moses. Quit thyself like a man, and be strong. Fear not nor be dismayed. ¹⁴ Now behold according to my poor ability I have provided for the house of the Lord a hundred talents of gold, and ten hundred talents of silver, and brass and iron without weight, because of their abundance. I have also provided timber and stones, but thou must add thereto. ¹⁵ And thou must add to the number of Workmen of whom there are with thee artists, and masons and carpenters and men skilled in every kind of work, ¹⁶ of gold and silver and brass and iron, an innumerable number. Up therefore; and fall to work. And the Lord be with thee. ¹⁷ David also gave a charge to all the chiefs of Israel to assist his son Solomon, saying, ¹⁸ Hath not the Lord been with you, and given you rest all around? For he hath delivered into your hands the inhabitants of this land, and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people. ¹⁹ Now therefore apply your hearts, and your souls to seek the Lord your God and arise and build a sanctuary for your God, that you may carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house to be built for the name of the Lord.
