*
And David gave word ,
to gather together the sojourners ,
who were in the land of Israel ,
and he set hewers to hew squared stones ,
for building the house of God ;
*
and ,
iron in abundance ,
for nails for the doors of the gates ,
and for hooks ,
did David prepare ,
and bronze in abundance ,
without weight ;
*
and cedar-trees ,
even without number ,
for the Zidonians and the Tyreans brought cedar-trees in abundance ,
unto David .
*
And David said ,
Solomon my son ,
is young and tender ,
and ,
the house to be built ,
must be great and lofty and famous and beautiful ,
for all lands ,
oh let me then prepare for it .
So David prepared abundantly ,
before his death .
*
Then he called for Solomon his son ,
and charged him ,
to build a house ,
for Yahweh ,
God of Israel .
*
And David said to Solomon his son ,
As for me ,
it was ,
near my heart ,
to build a house for the Name of Yahweh my God ;
*
but the word of Yahweh came unto me ,
saying ,
Blood in abundance ,
hast thou shed ,
and ,
great wars ,
hast thou made ,
thou shalt not build a house for my Name ,
because ,
much blood ,
hast thou shed upon the earth ,
before me .
*
Lo !
a son ,
born to thee ,
He ,
shall be a man of rest ,
and I will give him rest from all his enemies ,
round about ,
for ,
Solomon ,
shall be his Name ,
and ,
peace and quietness ,
will I bestow upon Israel ,
in his days ;
*
He ,
shall build a house for my Name ,
and ,
he ,
shall be my son ,
and ,
I ,
will be his father ,
therefore will I establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel ,
unto times age-abiding :
*
Now ,
my son ,
Yahweh be with thee ,
so shalt thou be prosperous ,
and shalt build the house of Yahweh thy God ,
according as he hath spoken concerning thee .
*
Only Yahweh give thee discretion and understanding ,
and give thee charge over Israel ,
so that thou take heed unto the law of Yahweh thy God .
*
Then ,
shalt thou prosper ,
if thou take heed to do the statutes and the regulations ,
which Yahweh commanded Moses ,
concerning Israel ,
be strong and bold ,
thou mayst not be in fear ,
nor be dismayed .
*
Lo !
then ,
in my humiliation ,
have I prepared for the house of Yahweh ,
of gold a hundred thousand talents ,
and of silver a thousand thousand talents ,
and ,
as for bronze and iron ,
without weight ,
for ,
an abundance ,
hath it become ,
timber also and stone ,
have I prepared ,
and ,
thereunto ,
thou canst add .
*
And ,
with thee ,
in abundance ,
are workmen ,
hewers and carvers of stone and wood ,
and every sort of wise man ,
in all manner of work :
*
for gold and for silver and for bronze and for iron ,
without number .
Arise and do ,
and Yahweh be with thee !
*
And David charged all the rulers of Israel ,
to help Solomon his son :
*
Is not ,
Yahweh your God ,
with you ?
and hath he not given you rest on every side ?
for he hath given into my hand ,
the inhabitants of the land ,
and subdued is the land before Yahweh ,
and before his people .
*
Now ,
apply your heart and your soul ,
to seek unto Yahweh your God ,
and then arise ye and build the sanctuary of Yahweh Elohim ,
that ye may bring the ark of the covenant of Yahweh ,
and the holy vessels of God ,
into the house which hath been built for the Name of Yahweh .
