KJV_Strong : 1 Chronicles 28
1. And David[H1732] assembled[H6950] [H853] all[H3605] the princes[H8269] of Israel,[H3478] the princes[H8269] of the tribes,[H7626] and the captains[H8269] of the companies[H4256] that ministered[H8334] [H853] to the king[H4428] by course, and the captains[H8269] over the thousands,[H505] and captains[H8269] over the hundreds,[H3967] and the stewards[H8269] over all[H3605] the substance[H7399] and possession[H4735] of the king,[H4428] and of his sons,[H1121] with[H5973] the officers,[H5631] and with the mighty men,[H1368] and with all[H3605] the valiant[H2428] men,[H1368] unto[H413] Jerusalem.[H3389]
2. Then David[H1732] the king[H4428] stood up[H6965] upon[H5921] his feet,[H7272] and said,[H559] Hear[H8085] me, my brethren,[H251] and my people:[H5971] As for me, I[H589] had in[H5973] mine heart[H3824] to build[H1129] a house[H1004] of rest[H4496] for the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of the LORD,[H3068] and for the footstool[H1916] [H7272] of our God,[H430] and had made ready[H3559] for the building: [H1129]
3. But God[H430] said[H559] unto me, Thou shalt not[H3808] build[H1129] a house[H1004] for my name,[H8034] because[H3588] thou[H859] hast been a man[H376] of war,[H4421] and hast shed[H8210] blood.[H1818]
4. Howbeit the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel[H3478] chose[H977] me before all[H4480] [H3605] the house[H1004] of my father[H1] to be[H1961] king[H4428] over[H5921] Israel[H3478] forever:[H5769] for[H3588] he hath chosen[H977] Judah[H3063] to be the ruler;[H5057] and of the house[H1004] of Judah,[H3063] the house[H1004] of my father;[H1] and among the sons[H1121] of my father[H1] he liked[H7521] me to make me king[H4427] over[H5921] all[H3605] Israel: [H3478]
5. And of all[H4480] [H3605] my sons,[H1121] (for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath given[H5414] me many[H7227] sons,)[H1121] he hath chosen[H977] Solomon[H8010] my son[H1121] to sit[H3427] upon[H5921] the throne[H3678] of the kingdom[H4438] of the LORD[H3068] over[H5921] Israel.[H3478]
6. And he said[H559] unto me, Solomon[H8010] thy son,[H1121] he[H1931] shall build[H1129] my house[H1004] and my courts:[H2691] for[H3588] I have chosen[H977] him to be my son,[H1121] and I[H589] will be[H1961] his father.[H1]
7. Moreover I will establish[H3559] [H853] his kingdom[H4438] forever,[H5704] [H5769] if[H518] he be constant[H2388] to do[H6213] my commandments[H4687] and my judgments,[H4941] as at this[H2088] day.[H3117]
8. Now[H6258] therefore in the sight[H5869] of all[H3605] Israel[H3478] the congregation[H6951] of the LORD,[H3068] and in the audience[H241] of our God,[H430] keep[H8104] and seek[H1875] for all[H3605] the commandments[H4687] of the LORD[H3068] your God:[H430] that[H4616] ye may possess[H3423] [H853] this good[H2896] land,[H776] and leave it for an inheritance[H5157] for your children[H1121] after[H310] you forever.[H5704] [H5769]
9. And thou,[H859] Solomon[H8010] my son,[H1121] know[H3045] thou[H853] the God[H430] of thy father,[H1] and serve[H5647] him with a perfect[H8003] heart[H3820] and with a willing[H2655] mind:[H5315] for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] searcheth[H1875] all[H3605] hearts,[H3824] and understandeth[H995] all[H3605] the imaginations[H3336] of the thoughts:[H4284] if[H518] thou seek[H1875] him, he will be found[H4672] of thee; but if[H518] thou forsake[H5800] him, he will cast thee off[H2186] forever.[H5704]
10. Take heed[H7200] now;[H6258] for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath chosen[H977] thee to build[H1129] a house[H1004] for the sanctuary:[H4720] be strong,[H2388] and do[H6213] it.
11. Then David[H1732] gave[H5414] to Solomon[H8010] his son[H1121] [H853] the pattern[H8403] of the porch,[H197] and of the houses[H1004] thereof, and of the treasuries[H1597] thereof, and of the upper chambers[H5944] thereof, and of the inner[H6442] parlors[H2315] thereof, and of the place[H1004] of the mercy seat,[H3727]
12. And the pattern[H8403] of all[H3605] that[H834] he had[H1961] by the spirit,[H7307] of[H5973] the courts[H2691] of the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] and of all[H3605] the chambers[H3957] round about,[H5439] of the treasuries[H214] of the house[H1004] of God,[H430] and of the treasuries[H214] of the dedicated things: [H6944]
13. Also for the courses[H4256] of the priests[H3548] and the Levites,[H3881] and for all[H3605] the work[H4399] of the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] and for all[H3605] the vessels[H3627] of service[H5656] in the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]
14. He gave of gold[H2091] by weight[H4948] for things of gold,[H2091] for all[H3605] instruments[H3627] of all manner of service;[H5656] [H5656] silver also for all[H3605] instruments[H3627] of silver[H3701] by weight,[H4948] for all[H3605] instruments[H3627] of every kind of service:[H5656] [H5656]
15. Even the weight[H4948] for the candlesticks[H4501] of gold,[H2091] and for their lamps[H5216] of gold,[H2091] by weight[H4948] for every candlestick,[H4501] [H4501] and for the lamps[H5216] thereof: and for the candlesticks[H4501] of silver[H3701] by weight,[H4948] both for the candlestick,[H4501] and also for the lamps[H5216] thereof, according to the use[H5656] of every candlestick.[H4501] [H4501]
16. And by weight[H4948] he gave gold[H2091] for the tables[H7979] of shewbread,[H4635] for every table;[H7979] [H7979] and likewise silver[H3701] for the tables[H7979] of silver: [H3701]
17. Also pure[H2889] gold[H2091] for the fleshhooks,[H4207] and the bowls,[H4219] and the cups:[H7184] and for the golden[H2091] basins[H3713] he gave gold by weight[H4948] for every basin;[H3713] [H3713] and likewise silver by weight[H4948] for every basin[H3713] [H3713] [H3713] of silver: [H3701]
18. And for the altar[H4196] of incense[H7004] refined[H2212] gold[H2091] by weight;[H4948] and gold[H2091] for the pattern[H8403] of the chariot[H4818] of the cherubims,[H3742] that spread out[H6566] their wings, and covered[H5526] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of the LORD.[H3068]
19. All[H3605] this, said David, the LORD[H3068] made me understand[H7919] in writing[H3791] by his hand[H4480] [H3027] upon[H5921] me, even all[H3605] the works[H4399] of this pattern.[H8403]
20. And David[H1732] said[H559] to Solomon[H8010] his son,[H1121] Be strong[H2388] and of good courage,[H553] and do[H6213] it: fear[H3372] not,[H408] nor[H408] be dismayed:[H2865] for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] God,[H430] even my God,[H430] will be with[H5973] thee; he will not[H3808] fail[H7503] thee, nor[H3808] forsake[H5800] thee, until[H5704] thou hast finished[H3615] all[H3605] the work[H4399] for the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]
21. And, behold,[H2009] the courses[H4256] of the priests[H3548] and the Levites,[H3881] even they shall be with thee for all[H3605] the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of God:[H430] and there shall be with[H5973] thee for all manner[H3605] of workmanship[H4399] every[H3605] willing[H5081] skillful man,[H2451] for any manner[H3605] of service:[H5656] also the princes[H8269] and all[H3605] the people[H5971] will be wholly[H3605] at thy commandment.[H1697]
