Berean Standard Bible
Then David said, This
is
the house of the LORD God, and
this
is
the altar of the
burnt offering for Israel.
Then David said, “Here
shall
be
the house of the LORD God, as
well
as
the altar of burnt offering for Israel. ”
And
David commanded
to gather together
the strangers
that
were
in the land of Israel ;
and
he set
masons
to hew
wrought
stones to
build
the house of God.
So
David gave
orders
to gather the foreigners
in the land of Israel ,
from
whom
he appointed
stonecutters
to prepare
finished
stones for
building
the house of God.
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;
David provided
a
large
quantity
of
iron to
make
the nails for the doors of the gateways
and for the fittings,
together
with
more
bronze
than
could
be
weighed
Also
cedar trees
in
abundance:
for the Zidonians
and they
of
Tyre
brought much
cedar wood
to David.
and
more
cedar logs
than
could
be
counted;
for the Sidonians
and Tyrians
had
brought a
large
quantity
of
cedar logs
to David.
And David said, Solomon
my son is young and tender
, and the house that
is
to be builded
for the LORD 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.
And David said, “
My son Solomon
is young and inexperienced
, and the house to be built
for the LORD must be exceedingly
magnificent —famous
and glorious
throughout all lands.
Therefore I
must
make preparations
for it. ”
So David made
lavish
preparations
before his death.
Then he
called for Solomon
his son ,
and charged
him to build an
house for the LORD God of Israel.
Then David
called for his son Solomon
and instructed
him to build a
house for the LORD ,
the
God of Israel.
And
David
said
to
Solomon,
My son, as
for
me
, it was in my mind
to build an
house unto
the name of the LORD my God :
“
My son, ”
said
David
to
Solomon
, “
it was in my heart
to build a
house for
the Name of the LORD my God ,
But the
word of the LORD came to me ,
saying,
Thou
hast
shed blood abundantly,
and hast
made
great wars :
thou
shalt
not build an
house unto
my name ,
because thou
hast
shed much blood upon
the earth
in
my
sight
.
but this
word of the LORD came to me :
‘You
have
shed much
blood and waged
great wars .
You
are
not to
build a
house for
My Name because you
have
shed so
much blood on
the ground
before
Me
.
Behold,
a son shall
be born to thee,
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
.
But
a son will
be born to you
who will
be a man of rest .
I will give him rest from all his enemies on
every
side;
for his name will
be Solomon, and I will grant
to
Israel
peace and quiet
during
his reign
.
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
.
He is
the
one
who
will
build a
house for My Name .
He will
be My son, and I will be his Father .
And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever
. ’
Now, my son, the LORD be with thee;
and
prosper
thou
, and build
the house of the LORD thy
God, as he hath
said of
thee
.
Now, my son, may
the LORD be with you
, and may
you
succeed
in
building
the house of the LORD your
God, as He said you
would
.
Only
the LORD give thee
wisdom
and understanding ,
and
give
thee
charge
concerning
Israel, that thou
mayest
keep the law of the LORD thy
God.
Above
all,
may
the LORD give you
insight
and understanding when
He
puts
you
in
command
over
Israel, so
that you
may
keep the Law of the LORD your
God.
Then shalt
thou
prosper
, if thou
takest
heed
to
fulfil
the statutes and judgments
which
the LORD charged
Moses with
concerning
Israel :
be strong ,
and of
good
courage;
dread
not ,
nor
be dismayed
.
Then you
will
succeed
, if you
carefully
follow
the statutes and ordinances
that
the LORD commanded
Moses for
Israel .
Be strong and courageous.
Do
not be afraid
or
discouraged
.
Now ,
behold, in
my
trouble
I have prepared
for the house of the LORD an
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 thou
mayest
add thereto
.
Now behold, I have taken
great
pains
to
provide
for the house of the LORD —100,000
talents of gold, 1,000,000
talents of silver ,
and bronze
and iron too
great
to
be
weighed.
I
have
also provided
timber
and stone ,
and you
may
add to
them
.
Moreover
there
are
workmen
with
thee
in
abundance,
hewers
and
workers of
stone
and
timber
, and all
manner
of
cunning
men for
every manner
of work .
You
also
have
many
workers :
stonecutters
, masons,
carpenters,
and men skilled
in
every kind
of work —
Of
the
gold ,
the
silver,
and the
brass
, and the
iron ,
there
is
no
number. Arise
therefore,
and
be
doing
, and the LORD be with thee
.
in
gold and silver
, bronze
and iron —craftsmen
beyond
number. Now
begin
the
work
, and may
the LORD be with you
. ”
David also
commanded
all the princes
of Israel to help Solomon
his son ,
saying,
Then
David ordered
all the leaders
of Israel to help his son Solomon:
Is not the LORD your God with you ?
and hath
he not given
you rest on every side? for he hath
given the inhabitants of the land into mine
hand ;
and the land is
subdued before the LORD ,
and before
his people.
“
Is not the LORD your God with you ,
and has
He not granted
you rest on every side? For He has
given the inhabitants of the land into my
hand ,
and the land has
been
subdued before the LORD and His people.
Now set your heart and your
soul to seek the LORD your God ;
arise
therefore,
and
build
ye
the sanctuary of the LORD God, to
bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD ,
and the holy vessels
of God ,
into the house
that is
to
be built to
the name of the LORD.
Now set your heart and soul to seek the LORD your God .
Get
started
building
the sanctuary of the LORD God, so
that
you
may
bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy articles
of God into the temple
that will
be built for
the Name of the LORD. ”
