1. Then David[H1732] said[H559], This is the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068] God[H430], and this is the altar[H4196] of burnt-offering[H5930] for Israel[H3478].

2. And David[H1732] commanded[H559] to gather together[H3664] the sojourners[H1616] that were in the land[H776] of Israel[H3478]; and he set[H5975] masons[H2672] to hew[H2672] wrought[H1496] stones[H68] to build[H1129] the house[H1004] of God[H430].

3. And David[H1732] prepared[H3559] iron[H1270] in abundance[H7230] for the nails[H4548] for the doors[H1817] of the gates[H8179], and for the couplings[H4226]; and brass[H5178] in abundance[H7230] without weight[H4948];

4. and cedar[H730] - trees[H6086] without number[H7230]: for the Sidonians[H6722] and they of Tyre[H6876] brought[H935] cedar[H730] - trees[H6086] in abundance[H369] to David[H1732].

5. And David[H1732] said[H559], Solomon[H8010] my son[H1121] is young[H5288] and tender[H7390], and the house[H1004] that is to be builded[H1129] for Jehovah[H3068] must be exceeding[H4605] magnificent[H1431], of fame[H8034] and of glory[H8597] throughout all countries[H776]: I will therefore make preparation[H3559] for it[H1732]. So David prepared[H3559] abundantly[H7230] before[H6440] his death[H4194].

6. Then he called[H7121] for Solomon[H8010] his son[H1121], and charged[H6680] him to build[H1129] a house[H1004] for Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478].

7. And David[H1732] said[H559] to Solomon[H8010] his son[H1121], As for me[H3824], it was in my heart to build[H1129] a house[H1004] unto the name[H8034] of Jehovah[H3068] my God[H430].

8. But the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came to me[H559], saying, Thou hast shed[H8210] blood[H1818] abundantly[H7230], and hast made[H6213] great[H1419] wars[H4421]: thou shalt not build[H1129] a house[H1004] unto my name[H8034], because thou hast shed[H8210] much[H7227] blood[H1818] upon the earth[H776] in my sight[H6440].

9. Behold[H1121], a son shall be born[H3205] to thee[H376], who shall be a man of rest[H4496]; and I will give him rest[H5117] from all his enemies[H341] round about[H5439]; for his name[H8034] shall be Solomon[H8010], and I will give[H5414] peace[H7965] and quietness[H8253] unto Israel[H3478] in his days[H3117]:

10. he shall build[H1129] a house[H1004] for my name[H8034]; and he shall be my son[H1121], and I will be his father[H1]; and I will establish[H3559] the throne[H3678] of his kingdom[H4438] over Israel[H3478] for[H5704] ever[H5769].

11. Now[H1121], my son, Jehovah[H3068] be with thee[H6743]; and prosper thou[H1129], and build the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430], as he hath spoken concerning thee[H1696].

12. Only Jehovah[H3068] give[H5414] thee discretion[H7922] and understanding[H998], and give thee charge[H6680] concerning Israel[H3478]; that so thou mayest keep[H8104] the law[H8451] of Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430].

13. Then shalt thou prosper[H6743], if thou observe[H8104] to do[H6213] the statutes[H2706] and the ordinances[H4941] which Jehovah[H3068] charged[H6680] Moses[H4872] with concerning Israel[H3478]: be strong[H2388], and of good courage[H553]; fear[H3372] not[H2865], neither be dismayed.

14. Now[H3559], behold, in my affliction I have prepared[H3559] for the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068] a hundred[H3967] thousand[H505] talents[H3603] of gold[H2091], and a thousand[H505] thousand[H505] talents[H3603] of silver[H3701], and of brass[H5178] and iron[H1270] without weight[H4948]; for it is in abundance[H7230]: timber[H6086] also and stone[H68] have I prepared[H3559]; and thou mayest add thereto[H3254].

15. Moreover there are workmen[H6213] with thee in abundance[H7230], hewers[H2672] and workers[H2796] of stone[H68] and timber[H6086], and all men[H2450] that are skilful in every manner of work[H4399]:

16. of the gold[H2091], the silver[H3701], and the brass[H5178], and the iron[H1270], there is no number[H4557]. Arise[H6965] and be doing[H6213], and Jehovah be with thee[H3068].

17. David[H1732] also commanded[H6680] all the princes[H8269] of Israel[H3478] to help[H5826] Solomon[H8010] his son[H1121], saying,

18. Is not Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430] with you[H5117]? and hath he not given you rest on every side[H5439]? for he hath delivered[H5414] the inhabitants[H3427] of the land[H776] into my hand[H3027]; and the land[H776] is subdued[H3533] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068], and before[H6440] his people[H5971].

19. Now set[H5414] your heart[H3824] and your soul[H5315] to seek[H1875] after Jehovah[H3068] your God[H430]; arise[H6965] therefore[H1129], and build ye the sanctuary[H4720] of Jehovah[H3068] God[H430], to bring[H935] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of Jehovah[H3068], and the holy[H6944] vessels[H3627] of God[H430], into the house[H1004] that is to be built[H1129] to the name[H8034] of Jehovah[H3068].
