13_1CH

1CH-28:1 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the

princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that

ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the

thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over

all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons,

with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the

valiant men, unto Jerusalem.

1CH-28:2 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said,

Hear me, my brethren, and my people: [As for me], I [had] in

mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant

of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made

ready for the building:

1CH-28:3 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for

my name, because thou [hast been] a man of war, and hast shed

blood.

1CH-28:4 Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the

house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath

chosen Judah [to be] the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the

house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me

to make [me] king over all Israel:

1CH-28:5 And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many

sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of

the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

1CH-28:6 And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my

house and my courts: for I have chosen him [to be] my son, and I

will be his father.

1CH-28:7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he

be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this

day.

1CH-28:8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the

congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep

and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye

may possess this good land, and leave [it] for an inheritance

for your children after you for ever.

1CH-28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy

father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing

mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all

the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be

found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off

for ever.

1CH-28:10 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build

an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].

1CH-28:11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the

porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof,

and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours

thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,

1CH-28:12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of

the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers

round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the

treasuries of the dedicated things:

1CH-28:13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites,

and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD,

and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.

1CH-28:14 [He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold, for

all instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for all

instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every

kind of service:

1CH-28:15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for

their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for

the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight,

[both] for the candlestick, and [also] for the lamps thereof,

according to the use of every candlestick.

1CH-28:16 And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of

showbread, for every table; and [likewise] silver for the tables

of silver:

1CH-28:17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and

the cups: and for the golden basins [he gave gold] by weight for

every basin; and [likewise silver] by weight for every basin of

silver:

1CH-28:18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight;

and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that

spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of

the LORD.

1CH-28:19 All [this, said David], the LORD made me understand in

writing by [his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of this

pattern.

1CH-28:20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of

good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the

LORD God, [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail

thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work

for the service of the house of the LORD.

1CH-28:21 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the

Levites, [even they shall be with thee] for all the service of

the house of God: and [there shall be] with thee for all manner

of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of

service: also the princes and all the people [will be] wholly at

thy commandment.
