1 Chronicles 22:11-13

11 "So now, son, God be with you. God-speed as you build the sanctuary for your God, the job God has given you.
12 And may God also give you discernment and understanding when he puts you in charge of Israel so that you will rule in reverent obedience under God's Revelation.
13 That's what will make you successful, following the directions and doing the things that God commanded Moses for Israel. Courage! Take charge! Don't be timid; don't hold back.
