1 Chronicles 22:18 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Then David said, "This will be the location for the Temple of the LORD God and the place of the altar for Israel's burnt offerings!"
2 So David gave orders to call together the foreigners living in Israel, and he assigned them the task of preparing finished stone for building the Temple of God.
3 David provided large amounts of iron for the nails that would be needed for the doors in the gates and for the clamps, and he gave more bronze than could be weighed.
4 He also provided innumerable cedar logs, for the men of Tyre and Sidon had brought vast amounts of cedar to David.
5 David said, "My son Solomon is still young and inexperienced. And since the Temple to be built for the LORD must be a magnificent structure, famous and glorious throughout the world, I will begin making preparations for it now." So David collected vast amounts of building materials before his death.
6 Then David sent for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a Temple for the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 "My son, I wanted to build a Temple to honor the name of the LORD my God," David told him.
8 "But the LORD said to me, 'You have killed many men in the battles you have fought. And since you have shed so much blood in my sight, you will not be the one to build a Temple to honor my name.
9 But you will have a son who will be a man of peace. I will give him peace with his enemies in all the surrounding lands. His name will be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel during his reign.
10 He is the one who will build a Temple to honor my name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will secure the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.'
11 "Now, my son, may the LORD be with you and give you success as you follow his directions in building the Temple of the LORD your God.
12 And may the LORD give you wisdom and understanding, that you may obey the Law of the LORD your God as you rule over Israel.
13 For you will be successful if you carefully obey the decrees and regulations that the LORD gave to Israel through Moses. Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or lose heart!
14 "I have worked hard to provide materials for building the Temple of the LORD-- nearly 4,000 tons of gold, 40,000 tons of silver, and so much iron and bronze that it cannot be weighed. I have also gathered timber and stone for the walls, though you may need to add more.
15 You have a large number of skilled stonemasons and carpenters and craftsmen of every kind.
16 You have expert goldsmiths and silversmiths and workers of bronze and iron. Now begin the work, and may the LORD be with you!"
17 Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to assist Solomon in this project.
18 "The LORD your God is with you," he declared. "He has given you peace with the surrounding nations. He has handed them over to me, and they are now subject to the LORD and his people.
19 Now seek the LORD your God with all your heart and soul. Build the sanctuary of the LORD God so that you can bring the Ark of the LORD's Covenant and the holy vessels of God into the Temple built to honor the LORD's name."
1 Then David H1732 said, H559 This H2088 is the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 God, H430 and this H2088 is the altar H4196 of the burnt offering H5930 for Israel. H3478
2 And David H1732 commanded H559 to gather together H3664 H853 the strangers H1616 that H834 were in the land H776 of Israel; H3478 and he set H5975 masons H2672 to hew H2672 wrought H1496 stones H68 to build H1129 the house H1004 of God. H430
3 And David H1732 prepared H3559 iron H1270 in abundance H7230 for the nails H4548 for the doors H1817 of the gates, H8179 and for the joinings; H4226 and brass H5178 in abundance H7230 without H369 weight; H4948
4 Also cedar H730 trees H6086 in abundance H369 H4557 : for H3588 the Zidonians H6722 and they of Tyre H6876 brought H935 much H7230 cedar H730 wood H6086 to David. H1732
5 And David H1732 said, H559 Solomon H8010 my son H1121 is young H5288 and tender, H7390 and the house H1004 that is to be built H1129 for the LORD H3068 must be exceeding H4605 magnifical, H1431 of fame H8034 and of glory H8597 throughout all H3605 countries: H776 I will therefore now H4994 make preparation H3559 for it . So David H1732 prepared H3559 abundantly H7230 before H6440 his death. H4194
6 Then he called H7121 for Solomon H8010 his son, H1121 and charged H6680 him to build H1129 a house H1004 for the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478
7 And David H1732 said H559 to Solomon, H8010 My son, H1121 as for me, H589 it was H1961 in H5973 my mind H3824 to build H1129 a house H1004 unto the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 my God: H430
8 But the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to H5921 me, saying, H559 Thou hast shed H8210 blood H1818 abundantly, H7230 and hast made H6213 great H1419 wars: H4421 thou shalt not H3808 build H1129 a house H1004 unto my name, H8034 because H3588 thou hast shed H8210 much H7227 blood H1818 upon the earth H776 in my sight. H6440
9 Behold H2009 , a son H1121 shall be born H3205 to thee, who H1931 shall be H1961 a man H376 of rest; H4496 and I will give him rest H5117 from all H4480 H3605 his enemies H341 round about H4480 H5439 : for H3588 his name H8034 shall be H1961 Solomon, H8010 and I will give H5414 peace H7965 and quietness H8253 unto H5921 Israel H3478 in his days. H3117
10 He H1931 shall build H1129 a house H1004 for my name; H8034 and he H1931 shall be H1961 my son, H1121 and I H589 will be his father; H1 and I will establish H3559 the throne H3678 of his kingdom H4438 over H5921 Israel H3478 forever H5704 H5769 .
11 Now H6258 , my son, H1121 the LORD H3068 be H1961 with H5973 thee ; and prosper H6743 thou , and build H1129 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 thy God, H430 as H834 he hath said H1696 of H5921 thee.
12 Only H389 the LORD H3068 give H5414 thee wisdom H7922 and understanding, H998 and give thee charge H6680 concerning H5921 Israel, H3478 that thou mayest keep H8104 H853 the law H8451 of the LORD H3068 thy God. H430
13 Then H227 shalt thou prosper, H6743 if H518 thou takest heed H8104 to fulfill H6213 H853 the statutes H2706 and judgments H4941 which H834 the LORD H3068 charged H6680 H853 Moses H4872 with concerning H5921 Israel: H3478 be strong, H2388 and of good courage; H553 dread H3372 not, H408 nor H408 be dismayed. H2865
14 Now, behold, H2009 in my trouble H6040 I have prepared H3559 for the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 a hundred H3967 thousand H505 talents H3603 of gold, H2091 and a thousand H505 thousand H505 talents H3603 of silver; H3701 and of brass H5178 and iron H1270 without H369 weight; H4948 for H3588 it is H1961 in abundance: H7230 timber H6086 also and stone H68 have I prepared; H3559 and thou mayest add H3254 thereto. H5921
15 Moreover there are workmen H6213 H4399 with H5973 thee in abundance, H7230 hewers H2672 and workers H2796 of stone H68 and timber, H6086 and all manner H3605 of cunning men H2450 for every manner H3605 of work. H4399
16 Of the gold, H2091 the silver, H3701 and the brass, H5178 and the iron, H1270 there is no H369 number. H4557 Arise H6965 therefore , and be doing, H6213 and the LORD H3068 be H1961 with H5973 thee.
17 David H1732 also commanded H6680 all H3605 the princes H8269 of Israel H3478 to help H5826 Solomon H8010 his son, H1121 saying ,
18 Is not H3808 the LORD H3068 your God H430 with H5973 you? and hath he not given you rest H5117 on every side H4480 H5439 ? for H3588 he hath given H5414 H853 the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 into mine hand; H3027 and the land H776 is subdued H3533 before H6440 the LORD, H3068 and before H6440 his people. H5971
19 Now H6258 set H5414 your heart H3824 and your soul H5315 to seek H1875 the LORD H3068 your God; H430 arise H6965 therefore , and build H1129 ye H853 the sanctuary H4720 of the LORD H3068 God, H430 to bring H935 H853 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD, H3068 and the holy H6944 vessels H3627 of God, H430 into the house H1004 that is to be built H1129 to the name H8034 of the LORD. H3068
