[1] David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, the captains of the companies who served the king by division, the captains of thousands, the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem. [2] Then David the king stood up on his feet and said, “Hear me, my brothers and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building. [3] But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’ [4] However Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel. [5] Of all my sons (for Yahweh has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of Yahweh’s kingdom over Israel. [6] He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall 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 continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’ [8] Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, Yahweh’s assembly, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Yahweh your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever. [9] You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever. [10] Take heed now, for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.” [11] Then David gave to Solomon his son the plans for the porch of the temple, for its houses, for its treasuries, for its upper rooms, for its inner rooms, for the place of the mercy seat; [12] and the plans of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of Yahweh’s house, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things; [13] also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of Yahweh’s house, and for all the vessels of service in Yahweh’s house— [14] of gold by weight for the gold for all vessels of every kind of service, for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service; [15] by weight also for the lamp stands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps; and for the lamp stands of silver, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lamp stand; [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 forks, 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 plans for the chariot, and the cherubim that spread out and cover the ark of Yahweh’s covenant. [19] “All this”, David said, “I have been made to understand in writing from Yahweh’s hand, even all the works of this pattern.” [20] David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed, for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of Yahweh’s house is finished. [21] Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of God’s house. Every willing man who has skill for any kind of service shall be with you in all kinds of work. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”

David’s Last Words

[1] And David H1732 assembled H6950 (HiphImpf) all the princes H8269 of Israel, H3478 the princes H8269 of the tribes, H7626 and the captains H8269 of the companies H4256 that ministered H8334 (PielPtc) to the king H4428 by course, H4256 and the captains H8269 over the thousands, H505 and captains H8269 over the hundreds, H3967 and the stewards H8269 over all the substance H7399 and possession H4735§ of the king, H4428 and of his sons, H1121 with the officers, H5631§ and with the mighty men, H1368 and with all the valiant men, H2428 unto Jerusalem. H3389 [2] Then David H1732 the king H4428 stood up H6965 (QalImpf) upon his feet, H7272 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Hear H8085 (QalImpv) me, my brethren, H251 and my people: H5971 As for me, I had in mine heart H3824 to build H1129 (QalInf) an house H1004 of rest H4496 for the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the Lord, H3068 and for the footstool H1916 of our God, H430 and had made ready H3559 (HiphPerf) for the building: H1129 (QalInf) [3] but God H430 said H559 (QalPerf) unto me, Thou shalt not build H1129 (QalImpf) an house H1004 for my name, H8034 because thou hast been a man H376 of war, H4421 and hast shed H8210 (QalPerf) blood. H1818§ [4] Howbeit the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 chose H977 (QalImpf) me before all the house H1004 of my father H1 to be king H4428 over Israel H3478 for ever: H5769 for he hath chosen H977 (QalPerf) Judah H3063 to be the ruler; H5057 and of the house H1004 of Judah, H3063 the house H1004 of my father; H1 and among the sons H1121 of my father H1 he liked H7521 (QalPerf) me to make me king H4427 (HiphInf) over all Israel: H3478 [5] and of all my sons, H1121 (for the Lord H3068 hath given H5414 (QalPerf) me many H7227 sons,) H1121 he hath chosen H977 (QalImpf) Solomon H8010 my son H1121 to sit H3427 (QalInf) upon the throne H3678 of the kingdom H4438 of the Lord H3068 over Israel. H3478 [6] And he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Solomon H8010 thy son, H1121 he shall build H1129 (QalImpf) my house H1004 and my courts: H2691 for I have chosen H977 (QalPerf) him to be my son, H1121 and I will be his father. H1 [7] Moreover I will establish H3559 (HiphPerf) his kingdom H4438 for ever, H5769 if he be constant H2388 (QalImpf)§ to do H6213 (QalInf) my commandments H4687 and my judgments, H4941 as at this day. H3117 [8] Now therefore in the sight H5869 of all Israel H3478 the congregation H6951 of the Lord, H3068 and in the audience H241 of our God, H430 keep H8104 (QalImpv) and seek H1875 (QalImpv) for all the commandments H4687 of the Lord H3068 your God: H430 that ye may possess H3423 (QalImpf) this good H2896 land, H776 and leave it for an inheritance H5157 (HiphPerf) for your children H1121 after H310 you for H5704 ever. H5769 [9] And thou, Solomon H8010 my son, H1121 know H3045 (QalImpv) thou the God H430 of thy father, H1 and serve H5647 (QalImpv) him with a perfect H8003 heart H3820 and with a willing H2655 mind: H5315 for the Lord H3068 searcheth H1875 (QalActPtc) all hearts, H3824 and understandeth H995 (HiphPtc) all the imaginations H3336 of the thoughts: H4284 if thou seek H1875 (QalImpf) him, he will be found H4672 (NiphImpf) of thee; but if thou forsake H5800 (QalImpf) him, he will cast thee off H2186 (HiphImpf) for ever. H5703 [10] Take heed H7200 (QalImpv) now; for the Lord H3068 hath chosen H977 (QalPerf) thee to build H1129 (QalInf) an house H1004 for the sanctuary: H4720 be strong, H2388 (QalImpv) and do H6213 (QalImpv) it. [11] Then David H1732 gave H5414 (QalImpf) to Solomon H8010 his son H1121 the pattern H8403 of the porch, H197 and of the houses H1004 thereof, and of the treasuries H1597 thereof, and of the upper chambers H5944 thereof, and of the inner H6442 parlours H2315 thereof, and of the place H1004 of the mercy seat, H3727 [12] and the pattern H8403 of all that he had§ by the spirit, H7307 of the courts H2691 of the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 and of all the chambers H3957 round about, H5439 of the treasuries H214 of the house H1004 of God, H430 and of the treasuries H214 of the dedicated things: H6944 [13] also for the courses H4256 of the priests H3548 and the Levites, H3881 and for all the work H4399 of the service H5656 of the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 and for all the vessels H3627 of service H5656 in the house H1004 of the Lord. H3068 [14] He gave of gold H2091 by weight H4948 for things of gold, H2091 for all instruments H3627 of all manner of service; H5656 silver also for all instruments H3627 of silver H3701 by weight, H4948 for all instruments H3627 of every kind of service: H5656 [15] even the weight H4948 for the candlesticks H4501 of gold, H2091 and for their lamps H5216 of gold, H2091 by weight H4948 for every candlestick, H4501 and for the lamps H5216 thereof: and for the candlesticks H4501 of silver H3701 by weight, H4948 both for the candlestick, H4501 and also for the lamps H5216 thereof, according to the use H5656 of every candlestick. H4501 [16] And by weight H4948 he gave gold H2091 for the tables H7979 of shewbread, H4635 for every table; H7979 and likewise silver H3701 for the tables H7979 of silver: H3701 [17] also pure H2889 gold H2091 for the fleshhooks, H4207 and the bowls, H4219 and the cups: H7184 and for the golden H2091 basons H3713 he gave gold by weight H4948 for every bason; H3713 and likewise silver by weight H4948 for every bason H3713 of silver: H3701 [18] and for the altar H4196 of incense H7004 refined H2212 (PualPtc) gold H2091 by weight; H4948 and gold H2091 for the pattern H8403 of the chariot H4818 of the cherubims, H3742 that spread out H6566 (QalActPtc) their wings, and covered H5526 (QalActPtc) the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the Lord. H3068 [19] All this, said David, the Lord H3068 made me understand H7919 (HiphPerf) in writing H3791 by his hand H3027 upon me, even all the works H4399 of this pattern. H8403 [20] And David H1732 said H559 (QalImpf) to Solomon H8010 his son, H1121 Be strong H2388 (QalImpv) and of good courage, H553 (QalImpv) and do H6213 (QalImpv) it: fear H3372 (QalImpf) not, nor be dismayed: H2865 (NiphImpf) for the Lord H3068 God, H430 even my God, H430 will be with thee; he will not fail H7503 (HiphImpf) thee, nor forsake H5800 (QalImpf) thee, until thou hast finished H3615 (QalInf) all the work H4399 for the service H5656 of the house H1004 of the Lord. H3068 [21] And, behold, the courses H4256 of the priests H3548 and the Levites, H3881 even they shall be with thee for all the service H5656 of the house H1004 of God: H430 and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship H4399 every willing H5081 skilful man, H2451 for any manner of service: H5656 also the princes H8269 and all the people H5971 will be wholly at thy commandment.
