|

2. David told his men to gather the strangers who were in the land of Israel. And he had servants cut stones to build the house of God.
|
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. He gave large amounts of iron to be used for making nails for the doors of the gates, and for making the parts that hold it all together. He gave more brass than could be weighed.
|
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. And he gave too many cedar trees to number. For the Sidonians and Tyrians brought many cut cedar trees to David.
|
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. David said, "My son Solomon is young and does not yet have much learning. And the house that is to be built for the Lord must be very beautiful. It must be very great, and well-known in all lands. So I will get things ready for it to be built." David made many things ready for it before his death.
|
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 for his son Solomon, and gave him the work of building a house for the Lord God of Israel.
|
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. David said to Solomon, "My son, I had planned to build a house to the name of the Lord my God.
|
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 of the Lord came to me, saying, 'You have taken much blood, and have fought many wars. You are not to build a house to My name, because you have poured so much blood upon the earth before Me.
|
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. See, a son will be born to you, who will be a man of peace. I will give him peace from all those who hate him on every side. His name will be Solomon. And I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.
|
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 will build a house for My name. He will be My son, and I will be his father. I will make his throne in Israel last forever.'
|
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, my son, may the Lord be with you and help you to do well. May you build the house of the Lord your God just as He has said you would.
|
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, may the Lord give you wisdom and understanding. When He has you rule over Israel, may you keep the Law of the Lord your God.
|
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 you will do well, if you are careful to obey the Laws which the Lord gave to Israel by Moses. Be strong and have strength of heart. Do not be afraid or troubled.
|
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. With much trouble I have made things ready for the house of the Lord. There is gold weighing as much as 100,000 men. There is silver weighing as much as 1,000,000 men. And there is too much brass and iron to weigh. I have made wood and stone ready, and you may add to them.
|
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. You have many servants and workmen who cut and build with stones and wood. There are men who are able to do every kind of work well.
|
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 and silver and brass and iron, there is more than enough. So get ready and work, and may the Lord be with you."
|
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 told all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon. He said to them,
|
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 the Lord your God with you? Has He not given you peace on every side? For He has given the people of the land into my hand. The land is put under my rule before the Lord and His people.
|
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 set your heart and soul to look to the Lord your God. Get ready and build the holy place of the Lord God. Then you may bring the special box with the Law of the Lord. You may bring the holy objects of God. And put them into the house that is to be built for the name of the Lord."
|
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 .
