of the substance which
was
king David’s.
32
Also Jonathan David’s uncle was a counsellor, a wise
man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni
was
with the king’s sons:
33
And Ahithophel
was
the king’s counsellor: and Hushai the Archite
was
the king’s companion:
34
And after Ahithophel
was
Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king’s army
was
Joab.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 28
And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the
companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains
over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of 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:
As
for me,
I
had
in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the L
ORD
, and
for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:
3
But God said unto me, Thou
shalt not build an house for my name, because thou
hast been
a man of war, and hast shed blood.
4
Howbeit the L
ORD
God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel
for ever: for he hath chosen Judah
to be
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
me
king over all Israel:
5
And of all my sons,
(for the L
ORD
hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of
the kingdom of the L
ORD
over Israel.
6
And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my
house and my courts: for I have chosen him
to be
my son, and I will be his father.
7
Moreover I
will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be 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 L
ORD
, and in the
audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the L
ORD
your God: that ye may
possess this good land, and leave
it
for an inheritance for your children 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 mind: for the L
ORD
searcheth all hearts, and understandeth 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 L
ORD
hath chosen thee to build an house
for the sanctuary: be strong, and do
it.
11
Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and
of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and
of the place of the mercy seat,
12
And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the
house of the L
ORD
, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and
of the treasuries of the dedicated things:
13
Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and
for all the work of the service of the house of the L
ORD
, and for all the vessels of service in the
house of the L
ORD
.
14
He gave
of gold by weight for
things
of gold, for all instruments of all manner
