Chapter 22
Then
David
said,
This
is
the
house
of
the
Lord
God,
and
this
is
the
altar
of
the
burnt
offering
for
Israel.
2
And
David
commanded
to
gather
together
the
strangers
that
were
in
the
land
of
Israel;
and
he
set
masons
to
hew
wrought
stones
to
build
the
house
of
God.
3
And
David
prepared
iron
in
abundance
for
the
nails
for
the
doors
of
the
gates,
and
for
the
joinings;
and
brass
in
abundance
without
weight;
4
Also
cedar
trees
in
abundance:
for
the
Zidonians
and
they
of
Tyre
brought
much
cedar
wood
to
David.
5
And
David
said,
Solomon
my
son
is
young
and
tender,
and
the
house
that
is
to
be
builded
for
the
Lord
must
be
exceeding
magnifical,
of
fame
and
of
glory
throughout
all
countries:
I
will
therefore
now
make
preparation
for
it.
So
David
prepared
abundantly
before
his
death.
6
Then
he
called
for
Solomon
his
son,
and
charged
him
to
build
an
house
for
the
Lord
God
of
Israel.
7
And
David
said
to
Solomon,
My
son,
as
for
me,
it
was
in
my
mind
to
build
an
house
unto
the
name
of
the
Lord
my
God:
8
But
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
Thou
hast
shed
blood
abundantly,
and
hast
made
great
wars:
thou
shalt
not
build
an
house
unto
my
name,
because
thou
hast
shed
much
blood
upon
the
earth
in
my
sight.
9
Behold,
a
son
shall
be
born
to
thee,
who
shall
be
a
man
of
rest;
and
I
will
give
him
rest
from
all
his
enemies
round
about:
for
his
name
shall
be
Solomon,
and
I
will
give
peace
and
quietness
unto
Israel
in
his
days.
10
He
shall
build
an
house
for
my
name;
and
he
shall
be
my
son,
and
I
will
be
his
father;
and
I
will
establish
the
throne
of
his
kingdom
over
Israel
for
ever.
11
Now,
my
son,
the
Lord
be
with
thee;
and
prosper
thou,
and
build
the
house
of
the
Lord
thy
God,
as
he
hath
said
of
thee.
12
Only
the
Lord
give
thee
wisdom
and
understanding,
and
give
thee
charge
concerning
Israel,
that
thou
mayest
keep
the
law
of
the
Lord
thy
God.
13
Then
shalt
thou
prosper,
if
thou
takest
heed
to
fulfil
the
statutes
and
judgments
which
the
Lord
charged
Moses
with
concerning
Israel:
be
strong,
and
of
good
courage;
dread
not,
nor
be
dismayed.
14
Now,
behold,
in
my
trouble
I
have
prepared
for
the
house
of
the
Lord
an
hundred
thousand
talents
of
gold,
and
a
thousand
thousand
talents
of
silver;
and
of
brass
and
iron
without
weight;
for
it
is
in
abundance:
timber
also
and
stone
have
I
prepared;
and
thou
mayest
add
thereto.
15
Moreover
there
are
workmen
with
thee
in
abundance,
hewers
and
workers
of
stone
and
timber,
and
all
manner
of
cunning
men
for
every
manner
of
work.
16
Of
the
gold,
the
silver,
and
the
brass,
and
the
iron,
there
is
no
number.
Arise
therefore,
and
be
doing,
and
the
Lord
be
with
thee.
17
David
also
commanded
all
the
princes
of
Israel
to
help
Solomon
his
son,
saying,
18
Is
not
the
Lord
your
God
with
you?
and
hath
he
not
given
you
rest
on
every
side?
for
he
hath
given
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
into
mine
hand;
and
the
land
is
subdued
before
the
Lord,
and
before
his
people.
19
Now
set
your
heart
and
your
soul
to
seek
the
Lord
your
God;
arise
therefore,
and
build
ye
the
sanctuary
of
the
Lord
God,
to
bring
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord,
and
the
holy
vessels
of
God,
into
the
house
that
is
to
be
built
to
the
name
of
the
Lord.
