1 Chronicles 17:1-15

Context
God Makes a Promise to David

17:1 When David had settled into his palace, 1  he 2  said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a palace 3  made from cedar, while the ark of the Lord’s covenant is under a tent.” 4  17:2 Nathan said to David, “You should do whatever you have in mind, 5  for God is with you.”

17:3 That night God told Nathan the prophet, 6  17:4 “Go, tell my servant David: ‘This is what the Lord says: “You must not build me a house in which to live. 17:5 For I have not lived in a house from the time I brought Israel up from Egypt 7  to the present day. I have lived in a tent that has been in various places. 8  17:6 Wherever I moved throughout Israel, I did not say 9  to any of the leaders whom I appointed to care for my people Israel, 10  ‘Why have you not built me a house made from cedar?’”’

17:7 “So now, say this to my servant David: ‘This is what the Lord who commands armies 11  says: “I took you from the pasture and from your work as a shepherd 12  to make you a leader of my people Israel. 17:8 I was with you wherever you went and I defeated 13  all your enemies before you. Now I will make you as famous as the great men of the earth. 14  17:9 I will establish a place for my people Israel and settle 15  them there; they will live there and not be disturbed 16  anymore. Violent men will not oppress them again, as they did in the beginning 17  17:10 and during the time when I appointed judges to lead my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies.

“‘“I declare to you that the Lord will build a dynastic house 18  for you! 17:11 When the time comes for you to die, 19  I will raise up your descendant, 20  one of your own sons, to succeed you, and I will establish his kingdom. 17:12 He will build me a house, and I will make his dynasty permanent. 21  17:13 I will become his father and he will become my son. I will never withhold my loyal love from him, as I withheld it from the one who ruled before you. 22  17:14 I will put him in permanent charge of my house and my kingdom; his dynasty will be permanent.”’” 23  17:15 Nathan told David all these words that were revealed to him. 24 

1 Chronicles 28:2-21

Context

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. 25  I have made the preparations for building it. 28:3 But God said to me, ‘You must not build a temple to honor me, 26  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. 27  Indeed, 28  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. 29  28:5 From all the many sons the Lord has given me, he chose Solomon my son to rule on his behalf over Israel. 30  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. 28:7 I will establish his kingdom permanently, if he remains committed to obeying my commands and regulations, as you are doing this day.’ 31  28:8 So now, in the sight of all Israel, the Lord’s assembly, and in the hearing of our God, I say this: 32  Carefully observe 33  all the commands of the Lord your God, so that you may possess this good land and may leave it as a permanent inheritance for your children after you.

28:9 “And you, Solomon my son, obey 34  the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit, 35  for the Lord examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him, 36  but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently. 28:10 Realize 37  now that the Lord has chosen you to build a temple as his sanctuary. Be strong and do it!”

28:11 David gave to his son Solomon the blueprints for the temple porch, 38  its buildings, its treasuries, 39  its upper areas, its inner rooms, and the room 40  for atonement. 28:12 He gave him 41  the blueprints of all he envisioned 42  for the courts of the Lord’s temple, all the surrounding rooms, the storehouses of God’s temple, and the storehouses for the holy items.

28:13 He gave him the regulations 43  for the divisions of priests and Levites, for all the assigned responsibilities within the Lord’s temple, and for all the items used in the service of the Lord’s temple.

28:14 He gave him 44  the prescribed weight for all the gold items to be used in various types of service in the Lord’s temple, for all the silver items to be used in various types of service, 45  28:15 for the gold lampstands and their gold lamps, including the weight of each lampstand and its lamps, for the silver lampstands, including the weight of each lampstand and its lamps, according to the prescribed use of each lampstand, 28:16 for the gold used in the display tables, including the amount to be used in each table, for the silver to be used in the silver tables, 28:17 for the pure gold used for the meat forks, bowls, and jars, for the small gold bowls, including the weight for each bowl, for the small silver bowls, including the weight for each bowl, 28:18 and for the refined gold of the incense altar.

He gave him 46  the blueprint for the seat 47  of the gold cherubim that spread their wings 48  and provide shelter for the ark of the Lord’s covenant.

28:19 David said, 49  “All of this I put in writing as the Lord directed me and gave me insight regarding the details of the blueprints.” 50 

28:20 David said to his son Solomon: “Be strong and brave! Do it! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! 51  For the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not leave you or abandon you before all the work for the service of the Lord’s temple is finished. 28:21 Here are the divisions of the priests and Levites who will perform all the service of God’s temple. All the willing and skilled men are ready to assist you in all the work and perform their service. 52  The officials and all the people are ready to follow your instructions.” 53

[17:1]  1 tn Heb “house.”

[17:1]  2 tn Heb “David.” The pronoun “he” has been used in the translation here to avoid redundancy in keeping with contemporary English style.

[17:1]  3 tn Heb “house.”

[17:1]  4 tn Heb “tent curtains.”

[17:2]  5 tn Heb “all which is in your heart.”

[17:3]  6 tn Heb “the word of God was [i.e., came] to Nathan the prophet.”

[17:5]  7 tn The words “from Egypt” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[17:5]  8 tc Heb “and I was from tent to tent and from tabernacle.” The words אֶל־מִשְּׁכָּן (’el-mishÿkan, “to tabernacle”) should probably be added at the end of the sentence to complete this prepositional phrase and produce symmetry with the preceding prepositional phrase. The words probably fell from the text by homoioteleuton.

[17:6]  9 tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question (“Did I say?”) meaning “I did not say.”

[17:6]  10 tn Heb “to one of the judges of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people.”

[17:7]  11 tn Traditionally, “Lord of hosts.”

[17:7]  12 tn Heb “and from after sheep.”

[17:8]  13 tn Heb “cut off.”

[17:8]  14 tn Heb “and I will make for you a name like the name of the great men who are in the earth.”

[17:9]  15 tn Heb “plant.”

[17:9]  16 tn Heb “shaken.”

[17:9]  17 tn Heb “and sons of violence will no longer consume them as in the beginning.”

[17:10]  18 tn Here the word “house” is used in a metaphorical sense, referring to a royal dynasty. The Lord’s use of the word here plays off the literal sense that David had in mind as he contemplated building a temple (“house”) for the Lord. In the translation the adjective “dynastic” is supplied to indicate that the term is used metaphorically.

[17:11]  19 tn Heb “and it will be when your days are full to go with your ancestors.”

[17:11]  20 tn Heb “your seed.”

[17:12]  21 tn Heb “and I will establish his throne permanently.”

[17:13]  22 sn The one who ruled before you is a reference to Saul, from whom the kingdom was taken and given to David.

[17:14]  23 tn Heb “and his throne will be established permanently.”

[17:15]  24 tn Heb “according to all these words and according to all this revelation, so Nathan said to David.”

[28:2]  25 tn Heb “I, with my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord and for a stool of the feet of our God.”

[28:3]  26 tn Heb “for my name.”

[28:4]  27 tn Heb “out of all the house of my father to become king over all Israel permanently.”

[28:4]  28 tn Or “for.”

[28:4]  29 tn Heb “and among the sons of my father he desired to make me king over all Israel.”

[28:5]  30 tn Heb “from all my sons, for many sons the Lord has given to me, he chose Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.”

[28:7]  31 tn Heb “if he is strong to do my commands and my regulations like this day.”

[28:8]  32 tn The words “I say this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:8]  33 tn Heb “Watch! Seek!”

[28:9]  34 tn Heb “know.”

[28:9]  35 tn Heb “with a complete heart and a willing being.”

[28:9]  36 tn Heb “he will allow himself to be found by you.”

[28:10]  37 tn Heb “see.”

[28:11]  38 tn Heb “for the porch.” The word “temple” was supplied in the translation for clarity.

[28:11]  39 tn Or “storerooms.”

[28:11]  40 tn Heb “house.”

[28:12]  41 tn The words “he gave him” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:12]  42 tn Heb “the pattern of all which was in the spirit with him.”

[28:13]  43 tn The words “he gave him the regulations” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:14]  45 tn Heb “for the gold, by the weight, for the gold, for all the items of service and service, for all the items of silver by weight for all the items of service and service.”

[28:18]  46 tn The words “he gave him” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:18]  47 tc The Hebrew text reads מֶרְכָּבָה (merkavah, “chariot”), but the final he (ה) is probably dittographic – note the prefixed he (ה) on the immediately following word. It is preferable to read מֶרְכָּב (merkav, “seat”).

[28:18]  48 tc The Hebrew text does not have “their wings,” but the word כְּנָפַיִם (kÿnafayim, “wings”) has probably been accidentally omitted by homoioteleuton. Note that the immediately preceding לְפֹרְשִׂים (lÿforsim) also ends in mem (ם).

[28:19]  49 tn The words “David said” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[28:19]  50 tn Heb “the whole in writing from the hand of the Lord upon me, he gave insight [for] all the workings of the plan.”

[28:20]  51 tn Or perhaps, “don’t be discouraged.”

[28:21]  52 tn Heb “and with you in all work, for every willing [one] in skill for all service.”

[28:21]  53 tn Heb “and the officials and all the people to all your words.”

[29:2]  54 tn Heb “and according to all my strength.”

[29:2]  55 tn Heb “the gold for the gold, and the silver for the silver, and the bronze for the bronze, and the iron for the iron, and the wood for the wood.”

[7:2]  56 tn Many English versions spell this name “Ibsam.”

[7:2]  57 tn Many English versions retain a form of this name closer to the Hebrew, i.e., “Shemuel.”

[7:2]  58 tn Heb “heads of the house of their fathers.”

[7:2]  59 tn Heb “to Tola [there were] warriors by their generations, their number in the days of David [was] 22,600.”

[132:5]  60 tn The plural form of the noun may indicate degree or quality; David envisions a special dwelling place (see Pss 43:3; 46:4; 84:1).

[132:5]  61 tn Heb “the powerful [one] of Jacob.”
