28:1

And David
<01732>

assembled
<06950> (8686)

all the princes
<08269>

of Israel
<03478>_,

the princes
<08269>

of the tribes
<07626>_,

and the captains
<08269>

of the companies
<04256>

that ministered
<08334> (8764)

to the king
<04428>

by course
<04256>_,

and the captains
<08269>

over the thousands
<0505>_,

and captains
<08269>

over the hundreds
<03967>_,

and the stewards
<08269>

over all the substance
<07399>

and possession
<04735>

of the king
<04428>_,

and of his sons
<01121>_,

with the officers
<05631>_,

and with the mighty men
<01368>_,

and with all the valiant men
<02428>_,

unto Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{possession: or, cattle} {and of...: or, and his sons} {officers: or, eunuchs}

28:2

Then David
<01732>

the king
<04428>

stood up
<06965> (8799)

upon his feet
<07272>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

me, my brethren
<0251>_,

and my people
<05971>_:

[As for me], I [had] in mine heart
<03824>

to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

of rest
<04496>

for the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and for the footstool
<01916> <07272>

of our God
<0430>_,

and had made ready
<03559> (8689)

for the building
<01129> (8800)_:

28:3

But God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto me, Thou shalt not build
<01129> (8799)

an house
<01004>

for my name
<08034>_,

because thou [hast been] a man
<0376>

of war
<04421>_,

and hast shed
<08210> (8804)

blood
<01818>_.

{blood: Heb. bloods}

28:4

Howbeit the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

chose
<0977> (8799)

me before all the house
<01004>

of my father
<01>

to be king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>

for ever
<05769>_:

for he hath chosen
<0977> (8804)

Judah
<03063>

[to be] the ruler
<05057>_;

and of the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_,

the house
<01004>

of my father
<01>_;

and among the sons
<01121>

of my father
<01>

he liked
<07521> (8804)

me to make [me] king
<04427> (8687)

over all Israel
<03478>_:

28:5

And of all my sons
<01121>_,

(for the LORD
<03068>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

me many
<07227>

sons
<01121>,)

he hath chosen
<0977> (8799)

Solomon
<08010>

my son
<01121>

to sit
<03427> (8800)

upon the throne
<03678>

of the kingdom
<04438>

of the LORD
<03068>

over Israel
<03478>_.

28:6

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Solomon
<08010>

thy son
<01121>_,

he shall build
<01129> (8799)

my house
<01004>

and my courts
<02691>_:

for I have chosen
<0977> (8804)

him [to be] my son
<01121>_,

and I will be his father
<01>_.

28:7

Moreover I will establish
<03559> (8689)

his kingdom
<04438>

for ever
<05769>_,

if he be constant
<02388> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

my commandments
<04687>

and my judgments
<04941>_,

as at this day
<03117>_.

{constant: Heb. strong}

28:8

Now therefore in the sight
<05869>

of all Israel
<03478>

the congregation
<06951>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in the audience
<0241>

of our God
<0430>_,

keep
<08104> (8798)

and seek
<01875> (8798)

for all the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_:

that ye may possess
<03423> (8799)

this good
<02896>

land
<0776>_,

and leave [it] for an inheritance
<05157> (8689)

for your children
<01121>

after
<0310>

you for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

28:9

And thou, Solomon
<08010>

my son
<01121>_,

know
<03045> (8798)

thou the God
<0430>

of thy father
<01>_,

and serve
<05647> (8798)

him with a perfect
<08003>

heart
<03820>

and with a willing
<02655>

mind
<05315>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

searcheth
<01875> (8802)

all hearts
<03824>_,

and understandeth
<0995> (8688)

all the imaginations
<03336>

of the thoughts
<04284>_:

if thou seek
<01875> (8799)

him, he will be found
<04672> (8735)

of thee; but if thou forsake
<05800> (8799)

him, he will cast thee off
<02186> (8686)

for ever
<05703>_.

28:10

Take heed
<07200> (8798)

now; for the LORD
<03068>

hath chosen
<0977> (8804)

thee to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

for the sanctuary
<04720>_:

be strong
<02388> (8798)_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

[it].
