Berean Standard Bible
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
.
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
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,
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
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
.
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
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 ;
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 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 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 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 ,
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
I have
established
his kingdom to
the
age
, if he is
strong
to
do
My commands,
and My
judgments
, as at
this day.
I will
establish
his kingdom forever
, if he resolutely
carries
out
My commandments
and ordinances
, as is
being
done
this day. ’
`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
.
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
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
.
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
.
See,
now ,
for
Jehovah
hath
fixed
on
thee
to build a house for a
sanctuary ;
be strong ,
and do. '
Consider
now that
the
LORD
has
chosen
you
to build a house for the
sanctuary .
Be strong and do it
. ”
