David Rose to his feet and
said, my brothers and my people.
It was my desire to build a temple
where the Ark of the Lord's covenant,
God's footstool could rest permanently.
I made the necessary preparations
for building it, but God said to
me, you must not build a temple
to honor my name for you are a
warrior and have shed much blood.
Yet the Lord, the God of Israel has chosen
me from among all my father's family
to be king over Israel forever, for he
has chosen the tribe of Judah to rule.
And from among the families of
Judah, he chose my father's family.
And from among my father's sons,
the Lord was pleased to make me king
over all Israel and from among my
sons, for the Lord has given me many.
He chose Solomon to succeed me
on the throne of Israel and to
rule over the Lord's kingdom.
He said to me, your son Solomon
will build my temple and its
courtyards for I have chosen him as
my son, and I will be his father.
And if he continues to obey my commands
and regulations as he does now, I
will make his kingdom last forever.
So now with God as our witness and in the
sight of all Israel, the Lord's Assembly.
I give you this charge.
Be careful to obey all the commands of the
Lord your God, so that you may continue
to possess this good land and leave it to
your children as a permanent inheritance.
And Solomon my son, learn to know
the God of your ancestors intimately
worship and serve him with your whole
heart and a willing mind for the Lord.
Sees every heart and knows
every plan and thought.
If you seek him, you will find
him, but if you forsake him,
he will reject you forever.
So take this seriously.
The Lord has chosen you to
build a temple as his sanctuary.
Be strong and do the work.
Then David gave Solomon the plans
for the temple and its surroundings,
including the entry room, the store rooms.
The upstairs rooms, the inner
rooms, and the inner sanctuary,
which was the place of atonement.
David also gave Solomon all the plans
he had in mind for the courtyards
of the Lord's temple, the outside
rooms, the treasuries, and the rooms
for the gifts dedicated to the Lord.
The king also gave Solomon the
instructions concerning the work of
the various divisions of priests and
Levites in the temple of the Lord.
And he gave specifications for
the items in the temple that
were to be used for worship.
David gave instructions regarding how
much gold and silver should be used
to make the items needed for service.
He told Solomon the amount of gold
needed for the gold lamp stands and
lamps and the amount of silver for
the silver lamp stands and lamps,
depending on how each would be used.
He designated the amount of gold
for the table on which the bread of
the presents would be placed and the
amount of silver for other tables.
David also designated the amount of gold
for the solid gold meat hooks used to
handle the sacrificial meat and for the
basins, pitchers, and dishes, as well
as the amount of silver for every dish.
He designated the amount of refined
gold for the altar of incense.
Finally, he gave him a plan for the
Lord's chariot, the gold cherubim,
whose wings were stretched out over
the Ark of the Lord's covenant.
Every part of this plan, David
told Solomon was given to me in
writing from the hand of the Lord.
Then David continued, be strong
and courageous and do the work.
Don't be afraid or discouraged for
the Lord God, my God is with you.
He will not fail you or forsake you.
He will see to it that all the
work related to the temple of
the Lord is finished correctly.
The various divisions of priests and
levies will serve in the temple of God.
Others with skills of every kind will
volunteer, and the officials and the
entire nation are at your command.
Then King David turned to the entire
assembly and said, my son Solomon, whom
God has clearly chosen as the next king of
Israel, is still young and inexperienced.
The work ahead of him is enormous.
For the temple he will build
is not for mere mortals.
It is for the Lord God himself.
Using every resource at my command,
I have gathered as much as I could
for building the temple of my God.
Now, there is enough gold, silver,
bronze, iron, and wood, as well
as great quantities of onyx, other
precious stones, costly jewels, and
all kinds of fine stone and marble.
And now because of my devotion
to the temple of my God.
I am giving all of my own private
treasuries of gold and silver
to help in the construction.
This is in addition to the
building materials I have already
collected for his holy temple.
I am donating more than 112 tons of gold
from OER and 262 tons of refined silver
to be used for overlaying the walls of
the buildings and for the other gold and
silver work to be done by the craftsman.
Now then who will follow my example
and give offerings to the Lord today?
Then the family leaders.
The leaders of the tribes of Israel,
the generals and captains of the
army and the king's administrative
officers, all gave willingly for the
construction of the Temple of God.
They gave about 188 tons of gold,
10,000 gold coins, 375 tons of silver.
675 tons of bronze and 3,750 tons of iron.
They also contributed numerous precious
stones which were deposited in the
treasury of the house of the Lord under
the care of joha, a descendant of Gersen.
The people rejoiced over the
offerings for they had given freely
and wholeheartedly to the Lord and
King David was filled with joy.
