²⁹ for Your eyes are open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which You have said, My name shall be there; to listen to the prayer which Your servant prays toward this place.

³ And Jehovah said to him, I have heard your prayer and your supplication with which you have made supplication before Me; I have sanctified this house that you have built to put My name there forever; and My eyes and My heart shall be there forever.

¹ And it happened, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I am living in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is under curtains. ² And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you. ³ And it happened on that night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying, ⁴ Go, and you shall say to My servant David, So says Jehovah, You shall not build a house for Me to dwell in; ⁵ for I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought Israel up until this day, but I have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another . ⁶ Wherever I have walked up and down among all Israel, have I spoken a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars for Me? ⁷ And now you shall say this to My servant, to David, So says Jehovah of hosts, I have taken you from the pasture from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel; ⁸ and I have been with you wherever you have walked; and I have cut off all your enemies from before you; and have made for you a name like the name of the great ones in the earth. ⁹ And I will prepare a place for My people Israel, and he will plant, and he will dwell in his place, and shall not be made to tremble any more; nor shall the sons of wickedness waste him any more, as at the first; ¹⁰ yea, even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will humble all your enemies; and I declare to you that Jehovah shall build a house for you; ¹¹ and it shall be, when your days have been fulfilled to go away with your fathers, that I shall raise up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons, and I shall establish his kingdom. ¹² He shall build a house for Me, and I shall establish his throne forever; ¹³ I shall be a Father to him, and he shall be a son to Me; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it away from him who was before you; ¹⁴ and I will make him stand in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be made to stand forever. ¹⁵ According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

² And David the king rose up on his feet and said, Hear me, my brothers and my people. With my heart I desired to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our God. And I made preparations to build. ³ But God said to me, You shall not build a house to My name, for you are a man of battles, and you have shed blood. ⁴ But Jehovah the God of Israel chose me out of all my father's house to be king over Israel forever. For He chose Judah as the ruler, and my father's house in the house of Judah; and among the sons of my father He was pleased to make me king over all Israel. ⁵ And of all my sons, for Jehovah has given me many sons, He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah, over Israel. ⁶ And He said to me, Your son Solomon shall build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as a son to Me, and I surely will be a Father to him. ⁷ And I will establish his kingdom forever, if he will be strong to do My commandments and My ordinances, as at this day. ⁸ And now in the sight of all Israel, the congregation of Jehovah, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Jehovah your God that you may possess this good land, and cause your sons to inherit after you forever. ⁹ And you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind. For Jehovah searches out all hearts, and He understands every imagination of thoughts. If you shall seek Him, He shall be found by you. But if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever. ¹⁰ Watch, now, for Jehovah has chosen you to build a house for a sanctuary. Be strong and act. ¹¹ And David gave his son Solomon the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of its upper rooms, and of its innermost rooms, and of the house of the mercy-seat; ¹² and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of Jehovah, and for all the rooms all around, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the things dedicated; ¹³ and for the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah; and for all the vessels of service of the house of Jehovah; ¹⁴ even gold by weight for things of gold, for all the vessels silver by weight, silver for all vessels of service and service; for all the service and service; ¹⁵ and by weight, for the lampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, with the weight of each lampstand and its lamps. Also for the lampstands of silver by weight, with the weight of each lampstand, and its lamps, according to the service of each lampstand. ¹⁶ And he gave by weight gold for the tables of the Bread of Arrangement, for table and table; silver for the tables of silver; ¹⁷ and pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups; and for the golden basins by weight for every basin; for the silver basins by weight for basin and basin; ¹⁸ and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight, and for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubs of gold, spreading out and covering over the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. ¹⁹ All was in writing from the hand of Jehovah. He caused me to understand all the work of the pattern. ²⁰ And David said to his son Solomon, Be strong and brave, and act. Do not fear, nor be afraid, for Jehovah God, my God, shall be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you until you have finished all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah. ²¹ And behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites shall be for all the service of the house of God. And with you in all work shall be every willing one with wisdom, for every service. And the rulers and all the people shall be according to all your words.

³ And also, because I delighted in the house of my God, I have treasure of gold and silver which I give for the house of my God, even more than all that I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary:

⁴ behold, I am building a house to the name of Jehovah my God, to dedicate to Him, to burn incense of sweet spices before Him, and for the continual bread of arrangement, and for burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbath, and on the new moons, and at the set feasts of Jehovah our God. This shall be upon Israel forever.

⁷ And it was in the heart of my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah the God of Israel. ⁸ And Jehovah said to my father David, Because it has been in your heart to build a house for My name, you have done well that it has been in your heart, ⁹ but you shall not build the house, for your son who comes forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for My name.

¹² And may the God who has caused His name to dwell there destroy any kings and people who shall put their hand to change or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have placed a decree. Let it be done exactly.

⁵ Go, and you shall say to My servant, to David, So says Jehovah, Will you build a house for Me, for My dwelling? ⁶ For I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day; but I have been moving about in a tent, even in a tabernacle. ⁷ In all places in which I have gone with all Israel's sons, have I spoken a word with one of the tribes of Israel, those I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, Why have you not built for me a house of cedars? ⁸ And now, so you shall say to My servant, to David, So says Jehovah of hosts, I have taken you from the resting place, from following the flock, to be ruler over My people, over Israel. ⁹ And I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth. ¹⁰ And I will designate a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and not be made to tremble any more. Nor shall the sons of evil afflict them again, as at the first, ¹¹ even from the day I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. And I will cause you to rest from all your enemies.

¹¹ and it shall be, when your days have been fulfilled to go away with your fathers, that I shall raise up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons, and I shall establish his kingdom.

⁵ And of all my sons, for Jehovah has given me many sons, He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah, over Israel. ⁶ And He said to me, Your son Solomon shall build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as a son to Me, and I surely will be a Father to him. ⁷ And I will establish his kingdom forever, if he will be strong to do My commandments and My ordinances, as at this day.

²⁹ And He gives rest; who then can condemn? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him? Even it may be against a nation and a man together,

⁷ In His days the righteous shall flourish, and plenty of peace, till the moon is not.

⁶ For a Child is born; to us a Son is given; and the government is on His shoulder; and His name is called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. ⁷ There is no end to the increase of His government and of peace on the throne of David, and on His kingdom, to order it, and to sustain it with justice and with righteousness, from now and forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will do this.

¹² Jehovah, You will ordain peace for us; for also You have worked all our works for us.

⁷ forming light, and creating darkness; making peace, and creating evil.

¹⁹ I create the fruit of the lips: peace, peace, to the ones far off and near, says Jehovah, and I will heal him.

¹² For so says Jehovah: Behold, I stretch out peace to her like a river, and glory of nations like an overflowing torrent. And You shall suck; you shall be carried on the side and be dandled on knees.

¹³ He shall build a house for My Name, and I shall establish the throne of his kingdom forever. ¹⁴ I shall be a father to him, and he shall be a son to Me. When he sins, then I will chasten him with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of men.

⁵ And, behold, I am commanding a house to be built to the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to my father David, saying, Your son whom I will appoint in your place on your throne, he shall build the house for My name.

¹² He shall build a house for Me, and I shall establish his throne forever; ¹³ I shall be a Father to him, and he shall be a son to Me; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it away from him who was before you; ¹⁴ and I will make him stand in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be made to stand forever.

²⁶ He shall cry to Me, My Father, You are My God, and the rock of my salvation.

³⁶ His seed shall be forever, and his throne as the sun before Me. ³⁷ Like the moon, it shall be forever; and a faithful witness in the sky. Selah.

⁷ There is no end to the increase of His government and of peace on the throne of David, and on His kingdom, to order it, and to sustain it with justice and with righteousness, from now and forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will do this.

¹² And speak to him, saying, So says Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold! The Man whose name is THE BRANCH! And He shall spring up out of His place, and He shall build the temple of Jehovah. ¹³ Even He shall build the temple of Jehovah; and He shall bear the majesty, and shall sit and rule on His throne. And He shall be a priest on His throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between the two of them.

⁵ For to which of the angels did He ever say, "You are My Son; today I have begotten You"? And again, "I will be a Father to Him, and He shall be a Son to Me." Psa. 2:7; 2 Sam. 7:16

¹⁶ No number is to the gold, and to the silver, and to the bronze, and to the iron; rise up and act, for Jehovah is with you.

²⁰ And David said to his son Solomon, Be strong and brave, and act. Do not fear, nor be afraid, for Jehovah God, my God, shall be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you until you have finished all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah.

²³ "Behold! The virgin will conceive in her womb and will bear a son, and they will call His name Emmanuel" (which translated is, God with us). Isa. 7:14

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you all the days until the completion of the age. Amen.

³³ And the God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

²² The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

⁶ and you shall keep and do them, for it shall be your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these statutes. And they shall say, This great nation is a people wise and understanding.

⁹ Also give to Your servant an understanding heart, to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this, Your great people? ¹⁰ And the word was good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. ¹¹ And God said to him, Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself many days, nor asked riches for yourself, nor asked the life of your enemies, and have asked for discernment for yourself, to understand judgment, ¹² behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given to you a wise and understanding heart, so that there was none like you before you, and after you none shall rise up like you.

¹ And king Solomon loved many foreign women, even the daughter of Pharaoh, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, Hittites; ² of the nations which Jehovah said to the sons of Israel, You shall not go in to them, and they shall not go in to you; surely they shall turn aside your heart after their gods; Solomon clung to these in love. ³ And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. ⁴ And it happened, at the time Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of his father David. ⁵ And Solomon went after Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom, the abomination of the Ammonites; ⁶ and Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and did not go fully after Jehovah like his father David. ⁷ Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the sons of Ammon; ⁸ and so he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods. ⁹ And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, for his heart had bent away from Jehovah, God of Israel who had appeared to him twice, ¹⁰ and had given a charge to him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; and he did not keep that which Jehovah commanded.

¹⁰ Now give to me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this Your great people?

¹ Of Solomon. Give the King Your judgments, O God; and Your righteousness to the King's son.

⁶ For Jehovah gives wisdom; out of His mouth are knowledge and understanding. ⁷ He lays up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to the ones who walk in integrity,

⁸ The wisdom of the wise is to understand his way, but the foolishness of fools is deceit.

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all those opposing you will not be able to withstand or contradict.

⁵ But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, who gives to all freely and with no reproach, and it will be given to Him.

³ And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commands.

⁶ Be strong and brave. Do not fear them, or be afraid of them. For Jehovah your God is He who is going with you; He shall not fail you nor forsake you. ⁷ And Moses called for Joshua, and said to him before the eyes of all Israel, Be strong and brave, for you shall go in with this people to the land which Jehovah has sworn to their fathers, to give it to them, and you shall cause them to inherit it. ⁸ And Jehovah is He who is going before you; He Himself shall be with you; He shall not fail you nor forsake you. Do not fear nor be afraid.

⁶ Be strong and brave. For you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them. ⁷ Only be strong and very brave, so that you may take heed to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may act wisely wherever you go. ⁸ This book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, and you shall meditate on it by day and by night, so that you shall be on guard to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall prosper your way, and then you shall act wisely. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and brave. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for Jehovah your God is with you in all places where you go.

¹⁸ Whoever rebels against your mouth, and will not listen to +your commands in all that you say to him, he shall be put to death. Only, be strong and brave.

³ and keep the charge of Jehovah your God, to walk in His ways, to keep statutes, His commands, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, so that you may do wisely all that you do, and there wherever you may turn,

⁷ And I will establish his kingdom forever, if he will be strong to do My commandments and My ordinances, as at this day.

¹⁰ Watch, now, for Jehovah has chosen you to build a house for a sanctuary. Be strong and act.

²⁰ And they rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in Jehovah your God, and be steadfast; believe in His prophets and prosper.

⁶ Then I shall not be ashamed, when I look to all Your commands.

³ So says Jehovah, Do justice and righteousness, and deliver the one robbed from the oppressor's hand. And do not oppress the alien, the widow, or the orphan, and do not do violence nor shed innocent blood in this place. ⁴ For if you indeed do this thing, then there shall enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he and his servants and his people.

¹⁵ But answering, Jesus said to him, Allow it now, for it is becoming to us this way to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allowed Him.

²² And removing him, He raised up to them David for a king, to whom He also said, witnessing, "I found David" the son of Jesse " to be a man according to My own heart, who will do all My will." 1 Samuel 13:14; Psa. 89:20; LXX-Isa. 44:28

¹³ Watch! Stand fast in the faith! Be men! Be strong!

² Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.

¹⁰ For the rest, my brothers, be made powerful in the Lord and in the might of His strength.

¹ Then my child, you be empowered by grace in Christ Jesus.

⁸ If you truly fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well. Lev. 19:18

¹⁴ And the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty six talents of gold,

¹⁶ There was no weighing of the bronze of all these vessels, the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases that Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah.

³ And David prepared iron in abundance for nails, for leaves of the gates, and for couplings and very much bronze; there was no weighing it,

⁴ three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir; and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses; ⁵ even gold for things of gold, and silver for silver, and for all the work of the hands of the skilled workers. And who is he that will willingly offer to consecrate his hand today to Jehovah? ⁶ And the chiefs of the fathers, and the chiefs of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of the thousands, and the hundreds, even the chiefs of the king's work, offered willingly, ⁷ and gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents, and a myriad of darics; and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.

² that in much testing of trouble, the overflowing of their joy and the depth of their poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.

⁶ And they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, crimson and bleached, twined linen, skilled work.

³ And I have filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom, and in intelligence, and in knowledge, and in all workmanship, ⁴ to devise designs, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze, ⁵ and in cutting of stones for finishings, and in carving of wood, to work in all workmanship.

³² and to devise designs, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

³⁵ He has filled them with wisdom of heart, to do every work of a smith, and an artisan, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in crimson, and in bleached linen, and a weaver; doers of every work and devisers of designs.

¹⁴ He was the son of a widow woman of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father a man of Tyre, an engraver in bronze. And he was filled with the wisdom and understanding and knowledge to do all work in bronze. And he came to king Solomon and did all his work.

² My servant Moses is dead. And now rise up, cross over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.

⁵ No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor will I forsake you.

⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and brave. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for Jehovah your God is with you in all places where you go.

¹⁰ And Jehovah said to Joshua, Get up! Why do you fall on your face this way?

¹⁴ And Deborah said to Barak, Rise up, for this is the day in which Jehovah has given Sisera into your hand. Has not Jehovah gone out before you? And Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

⁹ And they said, Rise up, and we shall go against them, for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good. And would you be silent? Do not hesitate to go to enter in to possess the land. ¹⁰ When you go you shall come to a secure people, and the land is large on both hands; for God has given it into your hand, a place in which there is no lack of anything which is in the land.

³⁷ And David said, Jehovah, who has delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He shall deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and Jehovah be with you.

¹³ So may Jehovah do to Jonathan, and do much more than this, if it should seem good to my father to do evil to you, then I will reveal it in your ear and send you away. And you shall go in peace; and may Jehovah be with you, as He was with my father.

¹¹ Now, my son, may Jehovah be with you, and may you prosper and build the house of Jehovah your God, as He spoke concerning you.

¹⁷ You shall not fight in this: station yourselves; stand and see the salvation of Jehovah with you, O Judah and Jerusalem; do not be terrified nor fear; tomorrow go out before them, and Jehovah shall be with you.

⁵⁸ So that, my beloved brothers, you be firm, immovable, abounding in the work of the Lord always, knowing that your labor is not without fruit in the Lord.

¹⁴ Because of this, He says, Arise, sleeping ones and stand up out of the dead ones, and Christ will shine on you. No OT passage

¹² So, then, my beloved, even as you always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, cultivate your salvation with fear and trembling, ¹³ for it is God who is working in you both to will and to work for the sake of His good pleasure.

¹³ I can do all things through Christ, the One giving me power.

¹ And David assembled all the chiefs of Israel; the chiefs of the tribes and chiefs of the divisions who were serving the king, and commanders of the thousands, and commanders of the hundreds, and heads of all property and possessions of the king, and of his sons, with the eunuchs and the mighty ones, even to every mighty one of valor, to Jerusalem. ² And David the king rose up on his feet and said, Hear me, my brothers and my people. With my heart I desired to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our God. And I made preparations to build. ³ But God said to me, You shall not build a house to My name, for you are a man of battles, and you have shed blood. ⁴ But Jehovah the God of Israel chose me out of all my father's house to be king over Israel forever. For He chose Judah as the ruler, and my father's house in the house of Judah; and among the sons of my father He was pleased to make me king over all Israel. ⁵ And of all my sons, for Jehovah has given me many sons, He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah, over Israel. ⁶ And He said to me, Your son Solomon shall build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as a son to Me, and I surely will be a Father to him.

²¹ And behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites shall be for all the service of the house of God. And with you in all work shall be every willing one with wisdom, for every service. And the rulers and all the people shall be according to all your words.

⁶ And the chiefs of the fathers, and the chiefs of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of the thousands, and the hundreds, even the chiefs of the king's work, offered willingly,

² that you may receive her in the Lord, as is worthy of the saints, and may assist her in whatever thing she may need of you. For she also became a helper of many, and of myself. ³ Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

³ And I also ask you, true yoke-fellow, help those who struggled along with me and with Clement in the gospel, and the rest, fellow-workers with me, whose names are in the Scroll of Life.

⁸ Therefore, we ought to entertain such men, that we may become co-workers in the truth.

¹⁰ And you shall cross over the Jordan, and shall live in the land which Jehovah your God is causing you to inherit. And He shall give you rest from all your enemies all around; and you shall live securely. ¹¹ And it shall be the place which Jehovah your God shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I am commanding you, your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice freewill offerings which you vow to Jehovah.

⁴ For Jehovah your God is He who is going before you, to fight for you with your enemies, to save you.

⁴² And Joshua captured all these kings in their land at one time, for Jehovah the God of Israel fought for Israel.

⁴ And now Jehovah your God has given rest to your brothers, as He spoke to them. And now you turn and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah has given to you beyond the Jordan.

¹ And it happened many days after Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies all around, that Joshua was old, going on in days.

¹² And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him, and said to him, Jehovah is with you, mighty warrior. ¹³ And Gideon said to Him, Oh my Lord, if Jehovah is with us, then why has all this happened to us? And where are all His wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Did not Jehovah bring us up out of Egypt? And now Jehovah has left us, and has given us into the hands of Midian. ¹⁴ And Jehovah turned to him and said, Go in this strength of yours, and you shall deliver Israel out of the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?

²⁸ I beg you, bear with the transgression of your handmaid, for Jehovah shall certainly make a sure house for my lord. For my lord has fought the battles of Jehovah, and evil has not been found in you all your days.

¹⁹ And David asked of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? Will You give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand. ²⁰ And David came to Baal-perazim. And David struck them there, and said, Jehovah has broken forth on my enemies before me as the breaking forth of waters. On account of this he called the name of that place The Breaking of Baal.

¹ And it happened, when the king lived in his house, and Jehovah had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

⁹ Behold, a son shall be born to you; he shall be a man of rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around, for Solomon shall be his name, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days;

²⁵ For David said, Jehovah God of Israel has given rest to His people so that they may dwell in Jerusalem perpetually,

¹ To the chief musician. A Contemplation for the Sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old. ² You drove out nations with Your hand and planted them. You brought evil on peoples and expelled them. ³ For they did not inherit the land with their own sword; yea, their own arm did not save them. But it was Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your face, because You favored them. ⁴ You are He, my King, O God; command deliverances for Jacob. ⁵ Through You we will push our enemies; through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.

³¹ Then, indeed, the churches throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, having been built up and having gone on in the fear of the Lord. And they were increased in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

²⁹ And if you shall seek Jehovah your God from there, then you shall find Him, if you seek Him with your whole heart, and with all your soul,

⁴⁶ and said to them, Set your heart on all the words which I have testified against you today, that you command your sons to take heed to do all the words of this law. ⁴⁷ For it is not a useless Word for you, for it is your life, and by this Word you shall prolong your days in the land where you are crossing over the Jordan, there to possess it.

⁶ And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, to the holy place of the house, into the Holy of Holies, to the place of the wings of the cherubs;

²¹ and set there a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah which He made with our fathers when He brought them out from the land of Egypt.

¹¹ Seek Jehovah and His strength, seek His face continually.

⁷ And David said to his son Solomon, As for me, it has been in my heart to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God.

⁹ And you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind. For Jehovah searches out all hearts, and He understands every imagination of thoughts. If you shall seek Him, He shall be found by you. But if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

⁷ And the priest brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, to the sanctuary of the house, to the Holy of Holies, to the place of the wings of the cherubs;

¹¹ And I have placed the ark there, where the covenant of Jehovah is, that He made with the sons of Israel.

³ And Jehoshaphat feared, and set his face to seek to Jehovah, and proclaimed a fast over all Judah.

⁴ One thing I have asked from Jehovah, it I will seek: my dwelling in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the delight of Jehovah, and to inquire in His temple.

¹ Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah has risen on you!

³ And I set my face toward the Lord God, to seek by prayer and holy desires, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.

⁵ And now, so says Jehovah of hosts: Set your heart on your ways!

²³ who having come, and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced. And he exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide near the Lord.

¹⁶ And now what do you intend? Rising up, be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
