11 "Now, my son, 1the LORD be with you that you may be successful, and build the house of the LORD your God just as He has spoken concerning you.
12 "2Only the LORD give you discretion and understanding, and give you charge over Israel, so that you may 3keep the law of the LORD your God.
13 "4Then you will prosper, if you are careful to observe the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD commanded Moses concerning Israel. 5Be strong and courageous, do not fear nor be dismayed.
14 "Now behold, with great pains I have prepared for the house of the LORD 6 100,000 * talents of gold and 1,000,000 * talents of silver, and 7 bronze and iron beyond weight, for they are in great quantity; also timber and stone I have prepared, and you may add to them.
15 "Moreover, there are many workmen with you, stonecutters and masons of stone and carpenters *, and all men who are skillful in every kind of work.
16 "Of the gold, the silver and the bronze and the iron there is no limit. Arise and work, and may 8the LORD be with you."
17 9David also commanded all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon, saying,
18 "Is not the LORD your God with you? And 10has He not given you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land is subdued before the LORD and before His people.
19 "Now 11set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise, therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, 12so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built 13for the name of the LORD."
