22 that David declared, "This is to be the house of God the Eternal, this is to be the altar of burnt-offering for Israel!" 2 So David had all the aliens in the land of Israel collected, and he set masons to hew cut stones for building the house of God; 3 David prepared plenty of iron to make nails for the doors of the gates, and clamps; also plenty of bronze, without weighing it, 4 and innumerable cedar-trees--for the Sidonians and Tyrians brought plenty of cedar-trees to David. 5 David reflected, "As Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and as the house which is to be built for the Eternal must be incomparably magnificent, far-famed, and glorious throughout all lands, I must make preparations for it." So David made ample preparations before he died.
6 Then he summoned Solomon his son and charged him to build a house for the Eternal the God of Israel, 7 saying to Solomon, "My son, I myself intended to build a temple for the Eternal my God. 8 But the word of the Eternal came to me, 'You have shed much blood, you have waged great wars; you shall not build me a temple, because you have shed so much blood on earth under my eyes. 9 No, a son shall be born to you who shall be a man of peace; I will grant him solace from all his enemies
round about, for his name shall be "Solomon," and during his reign I will grant Israel solace and quiet; 10 he shall build me a temple; he shall be a son to me and I will be a father to him and establish his royal throne over Israel for all time.' 11 Now, my son, may the Eternal be with you, that you may succeed in building the temple of the Eternal your God, as he has directed you! 12 Only may the Eternal grant you discretion and insight, as you are put in charge of Israel, so that you may obey the law of the Eternal your God. 13 If you are mindful to carry out the rules and regulations laid down for Israel by Moses at the bidding of the Eternal, you will succeed. Be firm and brave; never be daunted or dismayed. 14 Here have I prepared, with great pains, nine million six hundred thousand pounds' weight of gold, ninety-six million pounds' weight of silver, and bronze and iron past all weighing for their amount; timber and stones I have also supplied, and you may add to them. 15 Besides, you have plenty of workmen, masons, carpenters, and all manner of skilled tradesmen. 16 There is no end of gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Set to work,and may the Eternal be with you!"
17 David also ordered all the authorities of Israel to help Solomon his son. 18 "Is not the Eternal your God with you?" he asked. "Has he not granted you peace on every side? He has put the nations into my power, till the country lies subdued before the Eternal and his people. 19 Make up your minds to revere the Eternal your God; set about building the sanctuary of God the Eternal, that you may bring the ark of the compact of the Eternal and the sacred vessels of God into the temple that is to be built for the Eternal."
