H1732
Then David
H559
said,
H1004
"This is the house
H3068
of Yahweh
H430
God,
H4196
and this is the altar
H5930
of burnt offering
H3478
for Israel."
2
H1732
David
H559
gave orders
H3664
to gather together
H1616
the foreigners
H776
who were in the land
H3478
of Israel;
H5975
and he set
H2672
masons
H2672
to cut
H1496
worked
H68
stones
H1129
to build
H1004
the house
H430
of God.
3
H1732
David
H3559
prepared
H1270
iron
H7230
in abundance
H4548
for the nails
H1817
for the doors
H8179
of the gates,
H4226
and for the couplings;
H5178
and brass
H7230
in abundance
H4948
without weight;
4
H730
and cedar
H6086
trees
H7230
without number:
H6722
for the Sidonians
H6876
and they of Tyre
H935
brought
H730
cedar
H6086
trees
H369
in abundance
H1732
to David.
5
H1732
David
H559
said,
H8010
"Solomon
H1121
my son
H5288
is young
H7390
and tender,
H1004
and the house
H1129
that is to be built
H3068
for Yahweh
H4605
must be exceedingly
H1431
magnificent,
H8034
of fame
H8597
and of glory
H776
throughout all countries.
H3559
I will therefore make preparation
H1732
for it." So David
H3559
prepared
H7230
abundantly
H6440
before
H4194
his death.
6
H7121
Then he called
H8010
for Solomon
H1121
his son,
H6680
and commanded
H1129
him to build
H1004
a house
H3068
for Yahweh,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel.
7
H1732
David
H559
said
H8010
to Solomon
H1121
his son,
H3824
"As for me, it was in my heart
H1129
to build
H1004
a house
H8034
to the name
H3068
of Yahweh
H430
my God.
8
H1697
But the word
H3068
of Yahweh
H559
came to me, saying,
H8210
‘You have shed
H1818
blood
H7230
abundantly,
H6213
and have made
H1419
great
H4421
wars.
H1129
You shall not build
H1004
a house
H8034
to my name,
H8210
because you have shed
H7227
much
H1818
blood
H776
on the earth
H6440
in my sight.
9
H1121
Behold, a son
H3205
shall be born
H376
to you, who shall be a man
H4496
of rest.
H5117
I will give him rest
H341
from all his enemies
H5439
all around;
H8034
for his name
H8010
shall be Solomon,
H5414
and I will give
H7965
peace
H8253
and quietness
H3478
to Israel
H3117
in his days.
10
H1129
He shall build
H1004
a house
H8034
for my name;
H1121
and he shall be my son,
H1
and I will be his father;
H3559
and I will establish
H3678
the throne
H4438
of his kingdom
H3478
over Israel
H5704
for
H5769
ever.'
11
H1121
Now, my son,
H3068
may Yahweh
H6743
be with you and prosper
H1129
you, and build
H1004
the house
H3068
of Yahweh
H430
your God,
H1696
as he has spoken concerning you.
12
H3068
May Yahweh
H5414
give
H7922
you discretion
H998
and understanding,
H6680
and put you in charge
H3478
of Israel;
H8104
that so you may keep
H8451
the law
H3068
of Yahweh
H430
your God.
13
H6743
Then you will prosper,
H8104
if you observe
H6213
to do
H2706
the statutes
H4941
and the ordinances
H3068
which Yahweh
H6680
gave
H4872
Moses
H3478
concerning Israel.
H2388
Be strong,
H553
and courageous.
H3372
Don't be afraid,
H2865
neither be dismayed.
14
H6040
Now, behold, in my affliction
H3559
I have prepared
H1004
for the house
H3068
of Yahweh
H3967
one hundred
H505
thousand
H3603
talents
H2091
of gold,
H505
one
H505
million
H3603
talents
H3701
of silver,
H5178
and brass
H1270
and iron
H4948
without weight;
H7230
for it is in abundance.
H3559
I have also prepared
H6086
timber
H68
and stone;
H3254
and you may add to them.
15
H6213
There are also workmen
H7230
with you in abundance,
H2672
cutters
H2796
and workers
H68
of stone
H6086
and timber,
H2450
and all kinds of men
H4399
who are skillful in every kind of work:
16
H2091
of the gold,
H3701
the silver,
H5178
and the brass,
H1270
and the iron,
H4557
there is no number.
H6965
Arise
H6213
and be doing,
H3068
and may Yahweh be with you."
17
H1732
David
H6680
also commanded
H8269
all the princes
H3478
of Israel
H5826
to help
H8010
Solomon
H1121
his son, saying,
18
H3068
"Isn't Yahweh
H430
your God
H5117
with you? Hasn't he given you rest
H5439
on every side?
H5414
For he has delivered
H3427
the inhabitants
H776
of the land
H3027
into my hand;
H776
and the land
H3533
is subdued
H6440
before
H3068
Yahweh,
H6440
and before
H5971
his people.
19
H5414
Now set
H3824
your heart
H5315
and your soul
H1875
to seek
H3068
after Yahweh
H430
your God.
H6965
Arise
H1129
therefore, and build
H4720
the sanctuary
H3068
of Yahweh
H430
God,
H935
to bring
H727
the ark
H1285
of the covenant
H3068
of Yahweh,
H6944
and the holy
H3627
vessels
H430
of God,
H1004
into the house
H1129
that is to be built
H8034
to the name
H3068
of Yahweh."
