28:1 David
assembled
at
Jerusalem
all
the
officials
of
Israel,
the
officials
of
the
tribes,
the
officers
of
the
divisions
that
served
the
king,
the
commanders
of
thousands,
the
commanders
of
hundreds,
the
stewards
of
all
the
property
and
livestock
of
the
king
and
his
sons,
together
with
the
palace
officials,
the
mighty
men
and
all
the
seasoned
warriors.
28:2 Then
King
David
rose
to
his
feet
and
said:
"Hear
me,
my
brothers
and
my
people.
I
had
it
in
my
heart
to
build
a
house
of
rest
for
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
LORD
and
for
the
footstool
of
our
God,
and
I
made
preparations
for
building.
28:3 But
God
said
to
me,
'You
may
not
build
a
house
for
my
name,
for
you
are
a
man
of
war
and
have
shed
blood.'
28:4 Yet
the
LORD
God
of
Israel
chose
me
from
all
my
father's
house
to
be
king
over
Israel
forever.
For
he
chose
Judah
as
leader,
and
in
the
house
of
Judah
my
father's
house,
and
among
my
father's
sons
he
took
pleasure
in
me
to
make
me
king
over
all
Israel.
28:5 And
of
all
my
sons
(for
the
LORD
has
given
me
many
sons)
he
has
chosen
Solomon
my
son
to
sit
on
the
throne
of
the
kingdom
of
the
LORD
over
Israel.
28:6 He
said
to
me,
'It
is
Solomon
your
son
who
shall
build
my
house
and
my
courts,
for
I
have
chosen
him
to
be
my
son,
and
I
will
be
his
father.
28:7 I
will
establish
his
kingdom
forever
if
he
continues
strong
in
keeping
my
commandments
and
my
rules,
as
he
is
today.'
28:8 Now
therefore
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel,
the
assembly
of
the
LORD,
and
in
the
hearing
of
our
God,
observe
and
seek
out
all
the
commandments
of
the
LORD
your
God,
that
you
may
possess
this
good
land
and
leave
it
for
an
inheritance
to
your
children
after
you
forever.
28:9 "And
you,
Solomon
my
son,
know
the
God
of
your
father
and
serve
him
with
a
whole
heart
and
with
a
willing
mind,
for
the
LORD
searches
all
hearts
and
understands
every
plan
and
thought.
If
you
seek
him,
he
will
be
found
by
you,
but
if
you
forsake
him,
he
will
cast
you
off
forever.
28:10 Be
careful
now,
for
the
LORD
has
chosen
you
to
build
a
house
for
the
sanctuary;
be
strong
and
do
it."
28:11 Then
David
gave
Solomon
his
son
the
plan
of
the
vestibule
of
the
temple,
and
of
its
houses,
its
treasuries,
its
upper
rooms,
and
its
inner
chambers,
and
of
the
room
for
the
mercy
seat;
28:12 and
the
plan
of
all
that
he
had
in
mind
for
the
courts
of
the
house
of
the
LORD,
all
the
surrounding
chambers,
the
treasuries
of
the
house
of
God,
and
the
treasuries
for
dedicated
gifts;
28:13 for
the
divisions
of
the
priests
and
of
the
Levites,
and
all
the
work
of
the
service
in
the
house
of
the
LORD;
for
all
the
vessels
for
the
service
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
28:14 the
weight
of
gold
for
all
golden
vessels
for
each
service,
the
weight
of
silver
vessels
for
each
service,
28:15 the
weight
of
the
golden
lampstands
and
their
lamps,
the
weight
of
gold
for
each
lampstand
and
its
lamps,
the
weight
of
silver
for
a
lampstand
and
its
lamps,
according
to
the
use
of
each
lampstand
in
the
service,
28:16 the
weight
of
gold
for
each
table
for
the
showbread,
the
silver
for
the
silver
tables,
28:17 and
pure
gold
for
the
forks,
the
basins
and
the
cups;
for
the
golden
bowls
and
the
weight
of
each;
for
the
silver
bowls
and
the
weight
of
each;
28:18 for
the
altar
of
incense
made
of
refined
gold,
and
its
weight;
also
his
plan
for
the
golden
chariot
of
the
cherubim
that
spread
their
wings
and
covered
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
LORD.
28:19 "All
this
he
made
clear
to
me
in
writing
from
the
hand
of
the
LORD,
all
the
work
to
be
done
according
to
the
plan."
28:20 Then
David
said
to
Solomon
his
son,
"Be
strong
and
courageous
and
do
it.
Do
not
be
afraid
and
do
not
be
dismayed,
for
the
LORD
God,
even
my
God,
is
with
you.
He
will
not
leave
you
or
forsake
you,
until
all
the
work
for
the
service
of
the
house
of
the
LORD
is
finished.
28:21 And
behold
the
divisions
of
the
priests
and
the
Levites
for
all
the
service
of
the
house
of
God;
and
with
you
in
all
the
work
will
be
every
willing
man
who
has
skill
for
any
kind
of
service;
also
the
officers
and
all
the
people
will
be
wholly
at
your
command."
