David Commissions Solomon to Build the Temple
28:1 David assembled in Jerusalem all the officials of Israel , including the commanders of the tribes , the commanders of the army divisions that served the king , the commanders of units of a thousand and a hundred , the officials who were in charge of all the property and livestock of the king and his sons , the eunuchs , and the warriors , including the most skilled of them.
28:2 King David rose to his feet and said : “Listen to me, my brothers and my people . I wanted to build a temple where the ark of the Lord’s covenant could be placed as a footstool for our God . I have made the preparations for building it.
28:3 But God said to me, ‘You must not build a temple to honor me, for you are a warrior and have spilled blood .’
28:4 The Lord God of Israel chose me out of my father’s entire family to become king over Israel and have a permanent dynasty. Indeed , he chose Judah as leader , and my father’s family within Judah , and then he picked me out from among my father’s sons and made me king over all Israel .
28:5 From all the many sons the Lord has given me, he chose Solomon my son to rule on his behalf over Israel .
28:6 He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build my temple and my courts , for I have chosen him to become my son and I will become his father .
