11
Now, my son, the LORD be with thee, and be thou prospered and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he has said of thee.
12
Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding and give thee commandments for Israel, and that thou keep the law of the LORD thy God.
13
Then shalt thou be prospered if thou shalt keep thyself to do the statutes and rights which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
14
Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD one hundred thousand talents of gold and a thousand thousand talents of silver, and the brass and iron are without weight, for it is in abundance. Likewise, I have prepared timber and stone, unto which thou shalt add.
15
Moreover
there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber and all manner of expert men for every manner of work.
16
Of the gold, the silver, and the brass and the iron,
there is no number. Arise
therefore, and go to work, and the LORD be with thee.
17
David, likewise, commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon, his son,
saying,
18
Is not the LORD your God with you who has 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 set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built unto the name of the LORD.
