Texts -- 1 Chronicles 22:12-19 (NET)

Context
22:12 Only may the Lord give you insight and understanding when he places you in charge of Israel , so you may obey the law of the Lord your God . 22:13 Then you will succeed , if you carefully obey the rules and regulations which the Lord ordered Moses to give to Israel . Be strong and brave ! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic ! 22:14 Now, look , I have made every effort to supply what is needed to build the Lord’s temple . I have stored up 100,000 talents of gold , 1,000,000 talents of silver , and so much bronze and iron it cannot be weighed , as well as wood and stones . Feel free to add more ! 22:15 You also have available many workers , including stonecutters , masons, carpenters , and an innumerable array of workers who are skilled 22:16 in using gold , silver , bronze , and iron . Get up and begin the work ! May the Lord be with you!” 22:17 David ordered all the officials of Israel to support his son Solomon . 22:18 He told them, “The Lord your God is with you! He has made you secure on every side , for he handed over to me the inhabitants of the region and the region is subdued before the Lord and his people . 22:19 Now seek the Lord your God wholeheartedly and with your entire being ! Get up and build the sanctuary of the Lord God ! Then you can bring the ark of the Lord’s covenant and the holy items dedicated to God’s service into the temple that is built to honor the Lord .”
