7

Davidh1732 saidh559 to Solomonh8010, " aMy sonh1121,  1I had intendedh3824 to buildh1129 a househ1004 to the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068 my Godh430.

8

"But the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me, sayingh559, ` aYou have shedh8210 muchh7230 bloodh1818 and have  1wagedh6213a greath1419 warsh4421; you shall not buildh1129 a househ1004 to My nameh8034, becauseh3588 you have shedh8210 so muchh7227a bloodh1818 on the earthh776 beforeh6440 Me.

9

`Beholdh2009, a sonh1121 will be bornh3205 to you, whoh1931 shall be a manh376 of resth4496; and  aI will giveh5117 him resth5117 from allh3605 his enemiesh340 on everyh5439 sideh5439; for  bhis nameh8034 shall be  1Solomonh8010, and I will giveh5414 peaceh7965 and quieth8253 to Israelh3478 in his daysh3117.

10

aHe shall buildh1129 a househ1004 for My nameh8034, and he shall be My sonh1121 and I will be his fatherh1; and I will establishh3559 the throneh3678 of his kingdomh4438 overh5921 Israelh3478 foreverh5704h5769.'

11

"Nowh6258, my sonh1121,  athe LORDh3068 be with you that you may be successfulh6743b, and buildh1129 the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 your Godh430 justh3512c as He has spokenh1696 concerningh5921 you.

12

aOnlyh389 the LORDh3068 giveh5414 you discretionh7922 and understandingh998, and giveh6680 you chargeh6680 overh5921 Israelh3478, so that you may  bkeeph8104 the lawh8451 of the LORDh3068 your Godh430.

13

aThenh227 you will prosperh6743b, ifh518 you are carefulh8104 to observeh6213a the statutesh2706 and the ordinancesh4941 whichh834 the LORDh3068 commandedh6680 Mosesh4872 concerningh5921 Israelh3478.  bBe strongh2388 and courageoush553, do not fearh3372a norh408 be dismayedh2865.

14

"Now beholdh2009,  1with greath6040a painsh6040a I have preparedh3559 for the househ1004 of the LORDh3068  a100,000h3967h505 talentsh3603 of goldh2091 and 1,000,000h505h505 talentsh3603 of silverh3701, and  bbronzeh5178 and ironh1270 beyondh369 weighth4948, for  2they are in greath7230 quantityh7230; also timberh6086 and stoneh68 I have preparedh3559, and you may addh3254 to them.

15

"Moreover, there are manyh7230 workmenh4399h6213a with you, stonecuttersh2672 and masonsh2796 of stoneh68 and carpentersh2796h6086, and allh3605 menh2450 who are skillfulh2450 in everyh3605 kind of workh4399.

16

"Of the goldh2091, the silverh3701 and the bronzeh5178 and the ironh1270 thereh369 is noh369 limith4557. Ariseh6965 and workh6213a, and may  athe LORDh3068 be with you."

17

 aDavidh1732 also commandedh6680 allh3605 the leadersh8269 of Israelh3478 to helph5826 his sonh1121 Solomonh8010, saying,

18

"Is not the LORDh3068 your Godh430 with you? And  ahas He not givenh5117 you resth5117 on everyh5439 sideh5439? For He has givenh5414 the inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776 into my handh3027, and the landh776 is subduedh3533 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 and beforeh6440 His peopleh5971a.

19

"Nowh6258  aseth5414 your hearth3824 and your soulh5315 to seekh1875 the LORDh3068 your Godh430; ariseh6965, therefore, and buildh1129 the sanctuaryh4720 of the LORDh3068 Godh430,  bso that you may bringh935 the arkh727 of the covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068 and the holyh6944 vesselsh3627 of Godh430 into the househ1004 that is to be builth1129  cfor the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068."
