YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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 assembleth
all the heads
of Israel ,
heads
of the tribes, and
heads
of the courses
who
are
serving
the king
, and
heads
of the
thousands ,
and heads
of the
hundreds, and heads
of all the substance
and possessions
of the king ,
and of
his sons, with the officers
and the
mighty ones,
even
to
every mighty one
of valour
--
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
,
And
David the
king
riseth
on
his feet ,
and saith
, `Hear
me, my brethren
and my people ,
I
--
with
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 prepared
to build,
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. ’
and
God hath
said to me, Thou
dost
not build a house to
My name, for
a man of wars
thou
`art',
and
blood thou
hast
shed
.
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 .
`And
Jehovah
, God of Israel, doth
fix
on
me out of all the
house of
my
father
to be for
king over Israel to
the
age,
for on
Judah He
hath
fixed
for
a
leader, and in
the house of Judah ,
the
house
of
my father
, and among
the
sons of
my
father,
on
me,
`me'
He hath
been
pleased to make 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 out
of all my sons --
for many sons hath
Jehovah
given
to
me
--
He also
fixeth
on
Solomon my son ,
to sit on 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 saith
to me, Solomon thy
son ,
he
doth
build My house ,
and My courts, for I have fixed
on
him to
Me
for
a
son, and I --
I
am
to
him
for
a
father ,
I will
establish
his kingdom forever
, if he resolutely
carries
out
My commandments
and ordinances
, as is
being
done
this day. ’
and
I have
established
his kingdom to
the
age
, if he is
strong
to
do
My commands,
and My
judgments
, 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
.
`And
now ,
before
the eyes
of all Israel, the assembly of Jehovah
, and in the ears
of our God, keep and seek all the commands
of Jehovah
your God, so that ye
possess this good land ,
and have
caused
your sons
to
inherit
after
you
unto
the
age
.
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 the God of thy
father ,
and serve Him with
a
perfect
heart,
and with a willing mind, for all
hearts
is
Jehovah
seeking,
and every imagination
of
the
thoughts
He
is
understanding;
if thou
dost
seek Him, He is
found of
thee,
and
if thou
dost
forsake Him, He casteth
thee
off
for
ever
.
Consider
now that
the
LORD
has
chosen
you
to build a house for the
sanctuary .
Be strong and do it
. ”
See,
now ,
for
Jehovah
hath
fixed
on
thee
to build a house for a
sanctuary ;
be strong ,
and do. '
Then
David gave
his son Solomon
the plans
for
the
portico
of the temple
, its buildings
, storehouses
, upper rooms
, inner
rooms
, and the room
for
the mercy
seat.
And
David giveth
to
Solomon
his son the pattern
of the porch
, and
of
its houses
, and
of
its
treasures
, and
of
its
upper chambers
, and
of
its
innermost
chambers
, and of
the house
of
the atonement;
The plans
contained

had

LORD
, for all the surrounding
rooms
, for the treasuries
of the house of God and of the dedicated
things ,

hath
been

the
Spirit
with
him,
for the courts of the house of Jehovah
, and
for all the chambers
round

of the house of God ,
and for
the
treasures
of the things sacrificed;
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
LORD:
and
for the courses
of the priests and of
the
Levites, and
for all the work of the
service of
the house of Jehovah
, and for all vessels
of service of
the house of Jehovah,
the
weight of all
the

for every

“All
this,”
said
David,
“all
the details
of
this
plan,
the
LORD
has
made
clear
to
me
in writing by
His
hand upon
me. ”
The whole
`is'
in writing from
the
hand of
Jehovah,
`He
caused
me to
understand
all
the
work
of
the
pattern,'
`said
David
. '
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 saith
to Solomon his son, `
Be strong ,
and courageous, and do ;
do not fear
nor
be affrighted
, for Jehovah
God, my God, `
is '
with thee;
He doth
not
fail thee,
nor forsake thee,
unto
the
completion
of
all the work of
the service of the house of Jehovah
.
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

your
disposal
for the
work.
The officials
and all the people are fully
at
your
command
. ”
`And
lo,
courses
of the priests and of
the
Levites `
are '
for all the service of the house of God ;
and with
thee
in
all
work
`is'
every willing one
with
wisdom,
for every
service;
and
the heads
and all the people `
are '
according
to
all
thy
words
. '
