I Chronicles
Chapter
22
1
Then David said,
"This
is the house of Jehovah/God 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and
this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel."
2
And David commanded to gather together the strangers
who
were in the land of Israel.
And
he set masons to hew wrought stones
to
build the house of 'Elohiym/Godhead.
3
And David prepared iron in abundance
for
the nails for the doors of the gates,
and
for the joinings.
And brass in abundance without weight.
4 Also cedar trees in abundance.
For
the Zidonians and they of Tyre
brought
much cedar wood to David.
5
And David said,
"Solomon,
my son, is young and tender,
and
the house that is to be built for Jehovah/God
must
be exceeding magnificent,
of
fame and of glory throughout all countries.
I will therefore now make preparation for it."
So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6
Then he called for Solomon his son,
and
charged him to build an house for Jehovah/God . . .
'Elohiym/Godhead
of Israel.
7-16
And David said to Solomon,
"My
son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house
unto
the name of Jehovah/God my 'Elohiym/Godhead. 8
But
the word of Jehovah/God came to me, saying,
'You
have shed blood abundantly,
and
have made great wars.
You
shall not build a house unto My name,
because
you have shed much blood upon the earth in My sight. 9
Behold,
a son shall be born to you,
who
shall be a man of rest;
and
I will give him rest from all his enemies round about . . .
for
his name shall be Solomon,
and
I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days. 10
He shall build an house for My name.
And
he shall be My son,
and
I will be his father.
And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.' 11
Now,
my son, Jehovah/God be with you
and
prosper you,
and
build the house of Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead,
as
He has said of you.
12
Only Jehovah/God give you wisdom and understanding,
and
give you charge concerning Israel,
that
you may keep the law of Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead.
13
Then shall you prosper,
if
you take heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments
which
Jehovah/God charged Moses with concerning Israel.
Be strong, and of good courage.
Dread not, nor be dismayed. 14
Now,
behold, in my trouble,
I
have prepared for the house of Jehovah/God
a
hundred thousand talents of gold,
and
a thousand thousand talents of silver;
and
of brass and iron without weight.
For it is in abundance.
Timber also and stone have I prepared.
And you may add thereto. 15
Moreover
there are workmen with you in abundance . . .
hewers
and workers of stone and timber,
and
all manner of cunning men for every manner of work. 16
Of
the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron . . .
there
is no number.
Arise therefore, and be doing, and Jehovah/God be with you."
17
David also commanded all the princes of Israel
to
help Solomon his son, saying, 18
"Is
not Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead with you?
And has He not given you rest on every side?
For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand.
And
the land is subdued before Jehovah/God,
and
before His people. 19
Now
set your heart/right lobe
and
your soul
to
seek Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead.
Arise
therefore,
and
build you the sanctuary of Jehovah/God 'Elohiym/Godhead,
to
bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah/God,
and
the holy vessels of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
into
the house that is to be built to the name of Jehovah/God.
