1 Chronicles 22:17 In-Context

15 You have many workmen -- stonecutters, bricklayers, carpenters, and people skilled in every kind of work.

16 They are skilled in working with gold, silver, bronze, and iron. You have more craftsmen than can be counted. Now begin the work, and may the Lord be with you."

17 Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon.

18 David said to them, "The Lord your God is with you. He has given you rest from our enemies. He has handed over to me the people living around us. The Lord and his people are in control of this land.

19 Now give yourselves completely to obeying the Lord your God. Build the holy place of the Lord God; build the Temple for worship to the Lord. Then bring the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord and the holy items that belong to God into the Temple."
