Now
David summoned
all the leaders
of Israel to
Jerusalem:
the leaders
of the tribes, the leaders
of the divisions
in
the king’s
service
, the commanders
of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials
in
charge
of
all the property
and cattle
of the king and his sons, along
with the court
officials
and mighty men —every
mighty man
of valor.
And
David assembled
all the princes
of Israel ,
the princes
of the tribes, and
the captains
of the companies
that
served
the king
by
course
, and
the captains
of thousands ,
and the
captains
of hundreds, and the rulers
over
all the substance
and possessions
of the king and of
his sons, with the officers,
and the
mighty men ,
even
all
the
mighty men
of valor ,
unto
Jerusalem
.
Then King
David rose
to
his feet and said, “Listen
to
me, my brothers
and my people .
It was in my heart to build a house as
a
resting
place
for the ark of the covenant of the
LORD
and as
a
footstool
for our God .
I had made preparations
to
build
it,
Then David the
king
stood
up
upon
his feet ,
and said, Hear
me, my brethren,
and my people :
as
for
me,
it was in my heart to build a house of
rest
for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah,
and for the
footstool
of
our God ;
and
I had made ready
for
the
building.
but God said to
me, ‘You
are
not to
build a house for My Name, because you
are
a man of war who
has
spilled
blood. ’
But God said unto
me, Thou
shalt
not build a house for my name, because thou
art
a man of war ,
and
hast
shed
blood.
Yet
the
LORD
, the God of Israel, chose me out of all my
father’s
house to be king over Israel forever.
For He chose
Judah as
leader,
and from
the house of Judah He
chose
my
father’s
household
, and
from
my father’s
sons He was
pleased
to make me king over all Israel .
Howbeit
Jehovah
, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the
house of
my
father
to be king over Israel for ever:
for
he hath
chosen
Judah to
be
prince;
and in
the house of Judah, the
house
of
my father;
and
among
the
sons of
my
father
he took
pleasure
in
me
to make me king over all Israel ;
And of all my sons —
for the
LORD
has
given me many sons —
He has
chosen Solomon my son to sit on
the throne of the kingdom of the
LORD
over Israel.
And of all my sons (
for Jehovah
hath
given me many sons ),
he hath
chosen Solomon my son to sit upon
the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah
over Israel.
And He said to
me, ‘
Solomon your
son is
the
one
who
will
build My house and My courts ,
for I have chosen him as
My son, and I will be his Father.
And he said unto
me, Solomon thy
son ,
he
shall
build my house and my courts ;
for I have chosen him to
be
my son, and I will be his father.
I will establish his kingdom forever
, if he resolutely
carries
out
My commandments and ordinances, as is
being
done
this day. ’
And
I will establish his kingdom for
ever
, if he be
constant
to
do
my commandments and mine
ordinances, as at
this day.
So
now in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the
LORD
, and in the hearing
of our God, keep
and seek out all the commandments of the
LORD
your God ,
so
that you
may possess this good land and leave it as
an inheritance to your descendants
forever
.
Now therefore,
in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Jehovah
, and in the audience
of our God, observe
and seek out all the commandments of Jehovah
your God ;
that ye
may possess this good land ,
and leave it for
an inheritance to your children
after
you
for
ever
.
As
for
you
, Solomon my son, know the God of your
father and serve Him wholeheartedly
and with a willing mind ,
for the
LORD
searches
every
heart
and understands
the intent
of every
thought.
If you
seek Him, He will be found by
you
; but if you
forsake Him, He will reject
you
forever
.
And
thou
, Solomon my son, know thou
the God of thy
father ,
and serve him with
a
perfect
heart
and with a willing mind ;
for Jehovah
searcheth
all
hearts,
and understandeth
all
the imaginations
of the
thoughts:
if thou
seek him, he will be found of
thee
; but if thou
forsake him, he will cast
thee
off
for
ever
.
Consider
now that
the
LORD
has
chosen you
to build a house for the sanctuary .
Be strong and do it. ”
Take
heed
now ;
for
Jehovah
hath
chosen thee
to build a house for the sanctuary :
be strong ,
and do it.
Then David gave his son Solomon

and for

of the dedicated things ;
for the divisions
of the priests and Levites, for all the work of service in
the house of the
LORD
, and for all the articles
of service in the house of the

also
for the courses
of the priests and the

for all the work of the

of all
the gold articles
for every kind of service; the

the
weight
of each
lampstand
and its

of each

and its

lampstand
;
by
weight also
for
the candlesticks
of
gold ,
and for
the
lamps thereof
, of gold,
by
weight
for
every
candlestick
and for
the
lamps thereof
; and
for
the candlesticks

`silver'
by

for

“
All this, ”
said David ,
“all
the
details
of
this
plan
, the
LORD
has
made clear
to me
in writing by
His
hand upon
me
. ”
All this, `
said David '
, have
I
been
made to understand
in writing from
the
hand of
Jehovah,
even
all
the
works
of
this
pattern
.
David also
said to Solomon his son, “
Be strong and courageous
, and do it .
Do
not be
afraid
or
discouraged
, for the
LORD
God, my God, is with you.
He will neither
fail you
nor forsake you
before
all the work for the service of the house of the
LORD
is
finished.
And
David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of
good
courage
, and do it :
fear
not, nor
be
dismayed;
for Jehovah
God, even
my God, is with thee;
he will not
fail thee,
nor forsake thee,
until
all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah
be
finished.
The divisions
of the priests and Levites are
ready
for all the service of the house of God ,
and every willing man of
every
skill will
be
at
your
disposal
for the
work.
The officials
and all the people are
fully
at your
command
. ”
And,
behold,
there
are
the courses
of the priests and the
Levites ,
for all the service of the house of God :
and there
shall
be
with
thee
in
all
manner
of
work
every willing man that
hath
skill ,
for any
manner
of
service:
also
the captains
and all the people will
be
wholly
at thy
commandment
.
