28 David assembled at Jerusalem all the authorities of Israel, the chieftains of the clans, the officers who served the king in their divisions, the generals and commanders, the men in charge of all the royal property and possessions, together with the eunuchs and the heroes, all the leading warriors. 2 Then David rose to his feet and said:
“Listen, my brothers, my people, I myself intended to build a temple for the ark of the compact of the Eternal to rest in, as a footstool for our God; I had made preparations to build it, 3 but God said to me, ‘You shall not build a temple for me, for you are a man of war and you have shed blood.’ 4 However, the Eternal, the God of Israel, chose me out of all my family to be king over Israel for all time; for he chose Judah to be the leading clan, and from Judah my father’s family, and, from my father’s sons, he favoured me by making me king over all Israel. 5 Now of all my sons (for the Eternal has given me many) he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the Eternal’s dominion over Israel, 6 and he has told me, ‘Solomon your son shall build my temple and my courts, for I have chosen him to be a son to me, and I will 7 be a father to him; I will establish his kingdom for all time, if he loyally obeys my orders and regulations, as is done to-day.’ 8 Now then, in face of all Israel, the community of the Eternal, and in hearing of our God, I bid you keep and bethink yourselves of all the orders of the Eternal your God, that you may hold this fine land as your own, and leave it as an inheritance to your children after you, for all time. 9 As for you, Solomon my son, care for the God of your father, serve him with an undivided heart and a willing mind; for the Eternal searches all hearts, he knows all that passes in the mind. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will abandon you for ever. 10 Take heed to yourself; the Eternal has chosen you to build a temple as his sanctuary; be strong and do it.” 11 David then handed to Solomon his son the plans of the porch, the various rooms, the side chambers, the upper chambers, the inner chambers, and the shrine for the ark and its cover; 12 also the plans he had in mind for the courts of the temple of the Eternal, and for all the outside chambers (storehouses for the temple of God and for the votive offerings, 13 rooms for the orders of priests and Levites, for any work connected with the service of the temple of the Eternal, and for all the vessels used in the service of the temple of the Eternal); 14 and also the weight of gold for all the various golden vessels of the sacred service; with the weight of silver for all the various silver vessels of the sacred service. 15 He also fixed the weight of the golden lampstands and their lamps, respectively, and the weight of the silver lampstands and their lamps, respectively, as befitted each lampstand; 16 fixed the weight of gold for each table of the Presence bread, and of silver for the silver tables, 17 of pure gold for the forks, basins, and jars; of gold for each golden tankard and of silver for each silver tankard, 18 of refined gold for the altar of incense, and of gold for the plan of the chariot —the kherubs with outstretched wings covering the ark of the compact of the Eternal. 19 “All this,” said David, “all these plans have I been inspired to write down by the Eternal, who has instructed me.”
20 Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong, take heart, and do it; never be daunted or dismayed, for the Eternal your God, even my God, is with you; he will never fail you nor forsake you before all the work needed for the temple of the Eternal is finished. 21 Here are the divisions of the priests and the Levites, ready for all the service of the temple of God! And at every turn you will be supported by every willing, expert workman in every department; besides, the authorities and the whole of the nation will be entirely at your command.”
