*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
