1 Chronicles 17:4

17:4 “Go, tell my servant David: ‘This is what the Lord says: “You must not build me a house in which to live.

1 Chronicles 17:10

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 ¹  for you!

1 Chronicles 22:16

22:16 in using gold, silver, bronze, and iron. ²  Get up and begin the work! May the Lord be with you!”

1 Chronicles 28:10

28:10 Realize ³  now that the Lord has chosen you to build a temple as his sanctuary. Be strong and do it!”

[17:10]  ¹ 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.

[22:16]  ¹ tn Heb “and every kind of skilled one in all work, concerning gold, concerning silver, and concerning bronze, and concerning iron, there is no numbering.”

[28:10]  ¹ tn Heb “see.”
