13_1CH

1CH-22:1 Then David said, This [is] the house of the LORD God,

and this [is] the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

1CH-22:2 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.

1CH-22:3 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;

1CH-22:4 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and

they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

1CH-22:5 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.

1CH-22:6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to

build an house for the LORD God of Israel.

1CH-22:7 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:

1CH-22:8 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.

1CH-22:9 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.

1CH-22:10 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.

1CH-22:11 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.

1CH-22:12 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.

1CH-22:13 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.

1CH-22:14 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.

1CH-22:15 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.

1CH-22:16 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.

1CH-22:17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help

Solomon his son, [saying],

1CH-22:18 [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.

1CH-22:19 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.
