H1732
And David
H6950 [H8686]
assembled
H8269
all the princes
H3478
of Israel
H8269
, the princes
H7626
of the tribes
H8269
, and the captains
H4256
of the companies
H8334 [H8764]
that ministered
H4428
to the king
H4256
by course
H8269
, and the captains
H505
over the thousands
H8269
, and captains
H3967
over the hundreds
H8269
, and the stewards
H7399
over all the substance
H4735
and possession
H4428
of the king
H1121
, and of his sons
H5631
, with the officers
H1368
, and with the mighty men
H2428
, and with all the valiant men
H3389
, to Jerusalem.
2
H1732
Then David
H4428
the king
H6965 [H8799]
stood
H7272
upon his feet
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H8085 [H8798]
, Hear
H251
me, my brethren
H5971
, and my people
H3824
: As for me, I had in my heart
H1129 [H8800]
to build
H1004
an house
H4496
of rest
H727
for the ark
H1285
of the covenant
H3068
of the LORD
H1916 H7272
, and for the footstool
H430
of our God
H3559 [H8689]
, and had made ready
H1129 [H8800]
for the building:
3
H430
But God
H559 [H8804]
said
H1129 [H8799]
to me, Thou shalt not build
H1004
an house
H8034
for my name
H376
, because thou hast been a man
H4421
of war
H8210 [H8804]
, and hast shed
H1818
blood.
4
H3068
However the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H977 [H8799]
chose
H1004
me before all the house
H1
of my father
H4428
to be king
H3478
over Israel
H5769
for ever
H977 [H8804]
: for he hath chosen
H3063
Judah
H5057
to be the ruler
H1004
; and of the house
H3063
of Judah
H1004
, the house
H1
of my father
H1121
; and among the sons
H1
of my father
H7521 [H8804]
he took pleasure
H4427 [H8687]
in me to make me king
H3478
over all Israel:
5
H1121
And of all my sons
H3068
, (for the LORD
H5414 [H8804]
hath given
H7227
me many
H1121
sons
H977 [H8799]
,) he hath chosen
H8010
Solomon
H1121
my son
H3427 [H8800]
to sit
H3678
upon the throne
H4438
of the kingdom
H3068
of the LORD
H3478
over Israel.
6
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H8010
to me, Solomon
H1121
thy son
H1129 [H8799]
, he shall build
H1004
my house
H2691
and my courts
H977 [H8804]
: for I have chosen
H1121
him to be my son
H1
, and I will be his father.
7
H3559 [H8689]
Moreover I will establish
H4438
his kingdom
H5769
for ever
H2388 [H8799]
, if he shall be constant
H6213 [H8800]
to do
H4687
my commandments
H4941
and my judgments
H3117
, as at this day.
8
H5869
Now therefore in the sight
H3478
of all Israel
H6951
the congregation
H3068
of the LORD
H241
, and in the audience
H430
of our God
H8104 [H8798]
, keep
H1875 [H8798]
and seek
H4687
for all the commandments
H3068
of the LORD
H430
your God
H3423 [H8799]
: that ye may possess
H2896
this good
H776
land
H5157 [H8689]
, and leave it for an inheritance
H1121
for your children
H310
after
H5704
you for
H5769
ever.
9
H8010
And thou, Solomon
H1121
my son
H3045 [H8798]
, know
H430
thou the God
H1
of thy father
H5647 [H8798]
, and serve
H8003
him with a perfect
H3820
heart
H2655
and with a willing
H5315
mind
H3068
: for the LORD
H1875 [H8802]
searcheth
H3824
all hearts
H995 [H8688]
, and understandeth
H3336
all the imaginations
H4284
of the thoughts
H1875 [H8799]
: if thou shalt seek
H4672 [H8735]
him, he will be found
H5800 [H8799]
of thee; but if thou shalt forsake
H2186 [H8686]
him, he will cast thee off
H5703
for ever.
10
H7200 [H8798]
Take heed
H3068
now; for the LORD
H977 [H8804]
hath chosen
H1129 [H8800]
thee to build
H1004
an house
H4720
for the sanctuary
H2388 [H8798]
: be strong
H6213 [H8798]
, and do it.
11
H1732
Then David
H5414 [H8799]
gave
H8010
to Solomon
H1121
his son
H8403
the pattern
H197
of the porch
H1004
, and of the houses
H1597
of it, and of its treasuries
H5944
, and of its upper chambers
H6442
, and of its inner
H2315
parlours
H1004
and of the place
H3727
of the mercy seat,
12
H8403
And the pattern
H7307
of all that he had by the spirit
H2691
, of the courts
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the LORD
H5439
, and of all the surrounding
H3957
chambers
H214
, of the treasuries
H1004
of the house
H430
of God
H214
, and of the treasuries
H6944
of the dedicated things:
13
H4256
Also for the courses
H3548
of the priests
H3881
and the Levites
H4399
, and for all the work
H5656
of the service
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the LORD
H3627
, and for all the vessels
H5656
of service
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the LORD.
14
H2091
He gave of gold
H4948
by weight
H2091
for things of gold
H3627
, for all instruments
H5656
of all manner of service
H3627
; silver also for all instruments
H3701
of silver
H4948

H3627
, for all instruments
H5656
of every kind of service:

H4948
Even the weight
H4501
for the lampstands
H2091
of gold
H5216
, and for their lamps
H2091
of gold
H4948
, by weight
H4501
for every lampstand
H5216
, and for its lamps
H4501
: and for the lampstands

H4501
, both for the lampstand
H5216
, and also for its lamps
H5656
, according to the use
H4501
of every lampstand.
16
H4948
And by weight
H2091
he gave gold
H7979
for the tables
H4635
of showbread
H7979
, for every table
H3701
; and likewise silver
H7979
for the tables

, that spread out
H5526 [H8802]
their wings, and covered
H727
the ark
H1285
of the covenant
H3068
of the LORD.
19
H3068
All this, said David, the LORD
H7919 [H8689]
made me understand
H3791
in writing
H3027
by his hand
H4399
upon me, even all the works
H8403
of this pattern.
20
H1732
And David
H559 [H8799]
said
H8010
to Solomon
H1121
his son
H2388 [H8798]
, Be strong
H553 [H8798]
and of good courage
H6213 [H8798]
, and do
H3372 [H8799]
it: fear
H2865 [H8735]
not, nor be dismayed
H3068
: for the LORD
H430
God
H430
, even my God
H7503 [H8686]
, will be with thee; he will not fail
H5800 [H8799]
thee, nor forsake
H3615 [H8800]
thee, until thou hast finished
H4399
all the work
H5656
for the service
H1004
of the house
H3068

21
H4256
And, behold, the courses

H3881
and the Levites
H5656
, even they shall be with thee for all the service
H1004
of the house
H430
of God
H4399
: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship
H5081
every willing
H2451
skilful man
H5656
, for any manner of service
H8269
: also the princes
H5971
and all the people
H1697
will be wholly at thy command.
