16 and the gold by weight for the tables of showbread, for each table; and silver for the silver tables;
17 and the forks, the basins, and the pitchers of pure gold; and for the golden bowls with the weight for each bowl; and for the silver bowls with the weight for each bowl;
18 and for 1the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the model of the chariot, even 2the cherubim that spread out their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
19 "All this," said David, "the LORD made me understand in writing by His hand upon me, 3all the details of this pattern."
20 Then David said to his son Solomon, "4Be strong and courageous, and act; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. 5He will not fail you nor forsake you until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.
21 "Now behold, 6there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God, and 7every willing man of any skill will be with you in all the work for all kinds of service. The officials also and all the people will be entirely at your command."
