1 Chronicles 28

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the princes of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the princes over the thousands, and princes over the hundreds, with the princes over all the substance and possession of the king, and his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem.

2 Then David, the king, stood up upon his feet and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: <em>As for me</em>, I <em>had</em> in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD and for the footstool of our God and had made ready for the building.

3 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name because thou <em>hast been</em> a man of war and hast shed blood.

4 However, the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever, for he has chosen Judah <em>to be</em> the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make<em> me</em> king over all Israel;

5 and of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons) he has chosen Solomon, my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

6 And he said unto me, Solomon, thy son, he shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him <em>to be</em> my son, and I will be his father.

7 Moreover, I will establish his kingdom for ever if he is constant to do my commandments and my judgments as at this day.

8 Now, therefore, in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God, that ye may possess this good land and leave <em>it</em> for an inheritance for your sons after you for ever.

9 And thou, Solomon, my son, know thou the God of thy father and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing soul, for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

10 Take heed now, for the LORD has chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do <em>it</em>.

11 Then David gave to Solomon, his son, the pattern of the porch and of its houses and of its treasuries and of its upper chambers and of its inner parlours and of the place of the seat of reconciliation,

12 and the pattern of all that he had <em>received</em> by the Spirit of the courts of the house of the LORD and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God and of the treasuries of the holy things;

13 also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the ministry of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of ministry of the house of the LORD.

14 <em>He gave</em> gold by weight for that of gold, for all the vessels of each manner of service; <em>silver also</em> for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all the vessels of each service.

15 <em>Gold</em> by weight for the lampstands of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every lampstand, and for its lamps; and for the lampstands of silver by weight, <em>both</em> for the lampstand and <em>also</em> for its lamps, according to the service of each lampstand.

16 And by weight <em>he gave</em> gold for the tables of showbread, for each table; and, <em>likewise</em>, silver for the tables of silver.

17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks and the bowls and the cups, and for the golden covers <em>he gave gold</em> by weight for every basin; and <em>likewise silver</em> by weight for every basin of silver;

18 and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, that spread out <em>their wings</em> and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

19 All <em>this</em>, <em>said David</em>, the LORD made me understand in writing by <em>his</em> hand upon me, <em>even</em> all the works of this pattern.

20 And David said to Solomon, his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do <em>it</em>; fear not, nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, <em>even</em> my God, <em>will be</em> with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work of the service of the house of the LORD.

21 Behold the courses of the priests and the Levites, in all the ministry of the house of God; <em>they shall be</em> with thee in all the work; all of them voluntarily, with wisdom in all ministry; likewise, the princes and all the people to execute all thy commands.

New International Version NIV

1 David summoned all the officials of Israel to assemble at Jerusalem: the officers over the tribes, the commanders of the divisions in the service of the king, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and the officials in charge of all the property and livestock belonging to the king and his sons, together with the palace officials, the warriors and all the brave fighting men.

2 King David rose to his feet and said: “Listen to me, my fellow Israelites, my people. I had it in my heart to build a house as a place of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, for the footstool of our God, and I made plans to build it.

3 But God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for my Name, because you are a warrior and have shed blood.’

4 “Yet the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me from my whole family to be king over Israel forever. He chose Judah as leader, and from the tribe of Judah he chose my family, and from my father’s sons he was pleased to make me king over all Israel.

5 Of all my sons—and the LORD has given me many—he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

6 He said to me: ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

7 I will establish his kingdom forever if he is unswerving in carrying out my commands and laws, as is being done at this time.’

8 “So now I charge you in the sight of all Israel and of the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God: Be careful to follow all the commands of the LORD your God, that you may possess this good land and pass it on as an inheritance to your descendants forever.

9 “And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

10 Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house as the sanctuary. Be strong and do the work.”

11 Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the portico of the temple, its buildings, its storerooms, its upper parts, its inner rooms and the place of atonement.

12 He gave him the plans of all that the Spirit had put in his mind for the courts of the temple of the LORD and all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the temple of God and for the treasuries for the dedicated things.

13 He gave him instructions for the divisions of the priests and Levites, and for all the work of serving in the temple of the LORD, as well as for all the articles to be used in its service.

14 He designated the weight of gold for all the gold articles to be used in various kinds of service, and the weight of silver for all the silver articles to be used in various kinds of service:

15 the weight of gold for the gold lampstands and their lamps, with the weight for each lampstand and its lamps; and the weight of silver for each silver lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand;

16 the weight of gold for each table for consecrated bread; the weight of silver for the silver tables;

17 the weight of pure gold for the forks, sprinkling bowls and pitchers; the weight of gold for each gold dish; the weight of silver for each silver dish;

18 and the weight of the refined gold for the altar of incense. He also gave him the plan for the chariot, that is, the cherubim of gold that spread their wings and overshadow the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

19 “All this,” David said, “I have in writing as a result of the LORD’s hand on me, and he enabled me to understand all the details of the plan.”

20 David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.

21 The divisions of the priests and Levites are ready for all the work on the temple of God, and every willing person skilled in any craft will help you in all the work. The officials and all the people will obey your every command.”
