1 Chronicles 28:8-18

8 Now therefore, in the sight of all Yisra'el, the assembly of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the mitzvot of the LORD your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.
9 You, Shlomo my son, know you the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
10 Take heed now; for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
11 Then David gave to Shlomo his son the pattern of the porch [of the temple], and of the houses of it, and of the treasuries of it, and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner chambers of it, and of the place of the mercy seat;
12 and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of the LORD, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;
13 also for the courses of the Kohanim and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD;
14 of gold by weight for the [vessels of] gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; [of silver] for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;
15 by weight also for the menorot of gold, and for the lamps of it, of gold, by weight for every menorah and for the lamps of it; and for the menorot of silver, [silver] by weight for [every] menorah and for the lamps of it, according to the use of every menorah;
16 and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;
17 and the flesh-hooks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;
18 and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot, [even] the Keruvim, that spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
