1 Chronicles 22:2-19

22:2

And David
<01732>

commanded
<0559> (8799)

to gather together
<03664> (8800)

the strangers
<01616>

that [were] in the land
<0776>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and he set
<05975> (8686)

masons
<02672> (8802)

to hew
<02672> (8800)

wrought
<01496>

stones
<068>

to build
<01129> (8800)

the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_.

22:3

And David
<01732>

prepared
<03559> (8689)

iron
<01270>

in abundance
<07230>

for the nails
<04548>

for the doors
<01817>

of the gates
<08179>_,

and for the joinings
<04226>_;

and brass
<05178>

in abundance
<07230>

without weight
<04948>_;

22:4

Also cedar
<0730>

trees
<06086>

in abundance
<0369> <04557>_:

for the Zidonians
<06722>

and they of Tyre
<06876>

brought
<0935> (8689)

much
<07230>

cedar
<0730>

wood
<06086>

to David
<01732>_.

22:5

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Solomon
<08010>

my son
<01121>

[is] young
<05288>

and tender
<07390>_,

and the house
<01004>

[that is] to be builded
<01129> (8800)

for the LORD
<03068>

[must be] exceeding
<04605>

magnifical
<01431> (8687)_,

of fame
<08034>

and of glory
<08597>

throughout all countries
<0776>_:

I will [therefore] now make preparation
<03559> (8686)

for it. So David
<01732>

prepared
<03559> (8686)

abundantly
<07230>

before
<06440>

his death
<04194>_.

22:6

Then he called
<07121> (8799)

for Solomon
<08010>

his son
<01121>_,

and charged
<06680> (8762)

him to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

for the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

22:7

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Solomon
<08010>_,

My son
<01121>_,

as for me, it was in my mind
<03824>

to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

unto the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_:

22:8

But the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou hast shed
<08210> (8804)

blood
<01818>

abundantly
<07230>_,

and hast made
<06213> (8804)

great
<01419>

wars
<04421>_:

thou shalt not build
<01129> (8799)

an house
<01004>

unto my name
<08034>_,

because thou hast shed
<08210> (8804)

much
<07227>

blood
<01818>

upon the earth
<0776>

in my sight
<06440>_.

22:9

Behold, a son
<01121>

shall be born
<03205> (8737)

to thee, who shall be a man
<0376>

of rest
<04496>_;

and I will give him rest
<05117> (8689)

from all his enemies
<0341> (8802)

round about
<05439>_:

for his name
<08034>

shall be Solomon
<08010>_,

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

peace
<07965>

and quietness
<08253>

unto Israel
<03478>

in his days
<03117>_.

{Solomon: that is, Peaceable}

22:10

He shall build
<01129> (8799)

an house
<01004>

for my name
<08034>_;

and he shall be my son
<01121>_,

and I [will be] his father
<01>_;

and I will establish
<03559> (8689)

the throne
<03678>

of his kingdom
<04438>

over Israel
<03478>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

22:11

Now, my son
<01121>_,

the LORD
<03068>

be with thee; and prosper
<06743> (8689)

thou, and build
<01129> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

as he hath said
<01696> (8765)

of thee.

22:12

Only the LORD
<03068>

give
<05414> (8799)

thee wisdom
<07922>

and understanding
<0998>_,

and give thee charge
<06680> (8762)

concerning Israel
<03478>_,

that thou mayest keep
<08104> (8800)

the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

22:13

Then shalt thou prosper
<06743> (8686)_,

if thou takest heed
<08104> (8799)

to fulfil
<06213> (8800)

the statutes
<02706>

and judgments
<04941>

which the LORD
<03068>

charged
<06680> (8765)

Moses
<04872>

with concerning Israel
<03478>_:

be strong
<02388> (8798)_,

and of good courage
<0553> (8798)_;

dread
<03372> (8799)

not, nor be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_.

22:14

Now, behold, in my trouble
<06040>

I have prepared
<03559> (8689)

for the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

an hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

and a thousand
<0505>

thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>_;

and of brass
<05178>

and iron
<01270>

without weight
<04948>_;

for it is in abundance
<07230>_:

timber
<06086>

also and stone
<068>

have I prepared
<03559> (8689)_;

and thou mayest add
<03254> (8686)

thereto. {trouble: or, poverty}

22:15

Moreover [there are] workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>

with thee in abundance
<07230>_,

hewers
<02672> (8802)

and workers
<02796>

of stone
<068>

and timber
<06086>_,

and all manner of cunning men
<02450>

for every manner of work
<04399>_.

{workers...: that is, masons and carpenters}

22:16

Of the gold
<02091>_,

the silver
<03701>_,

and the brass
<05178>_,

and the iron
<01270>_,

[there is] no number
<04557>_.

Arise
<06965> (8798)

[therefore], and be doing
<06213> (8798)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

be with thee.

22:17

David
<01732>

also commanded
<06680> (8762)

all the princes
<08269>

of Israel
<03478>

to help
<05826> (8800)

Solomon
<08010>

his son
<01121>_,

[saying],

22:18

[Is] not the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

with you? and hath he [not] given you rest
<05117> (8689)

on every side
<05439>_?

for he hath given
<05414> (8804)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

into mine hand
<03027>_;

and the land
<0776>

is subdued
<03533> (8738)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and before
<06440>

his people
<05971>_.

22:19

Now set
<05414> (8798)

your heart
<03824>

and your soul
<05315>

to seek
<01875> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_;

arise
<06965> (8798)

therefore, and build
<01129> (8798)

ye the sanctuary
<04720>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_,

to bring
<0935> (8687)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the holy
<06944>

vessels
<03627>

of God
<0430>_,

into the house
<01004>

that is to be built
<01129> (8737)

to the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.
