|
2. Then David H1732 the king H4428 stood up H6965 upon H5921 his feet H7272 , and said H559 , Hear H8085 me , my brethren H251 , and my people H5971 : As for me , I H589 had in H5973 mine heart H3824 to build H1129 a house H1004 of rest H4496 for the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 , and for the footstool H1916 H7272 of our God H430 , and had made ready H3559 for the building H1129 :
|
|
3. and God hath said to me, Thou dost not build a house to My name, for a man of wars thou art, and blood thou hast shed.
|
3. But God H430 said H559 unto me , Thou shalt not H3808 build H1129 a house H1004 for my name H8034 , because H3588 thou H859 hast been a man H376 of war H4421 , and hast shed H8210 blood H1818 .
|
|
4. `And Jehovah, God of Israel, doth fix on me out of all the house of my father to be for king over Israel to the age, for on Judah He hath fixed for a leader, and in the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, on me, me He hath been pleased to make king over all Israel;
|
4. Howbeit the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 chose H977 me before all H4480 H3605 the house H1004 of my father H1 to be H1961 king H4428 over H5921 Israel H3478 forever H5769 : for H3588 he hath chosen H977 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 me to make me king H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel H3478 :
|
|
5. and out of all my sons -- for many sons hath Jehovah given to me -- He also fixeth on Solomon my son, to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel,
|
5. And of all H4480 H3605 my sons H1121 , ( for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath given H5414 me many H7227 sons H1121 ,) he hath chosen H977 Solomon H8010 my son H1121 to sit H3427 upon H5921 the throne H3678 of the kingdom H4438 of the LORD H3068 over H5921 Israel H3478 .
|
|
6. and saith to me, Solomon thy son, he doth build My house, and My courts, for I have fixed on him to Me for a son, and I -- I am to him for a father,
|
6. And he said H559 unto me, Solomon H8010 thy son H1121 , he H1931 shall build H1129 my house H1004 and my courts H2691 : for H3588 I have chosen H977 him to be my son H1121 , and I H589 will be H1961 his father H1 .
|
|
7. and I have established his kingdom to the age, if he is strong to do My commands, and My judgments, as at this day.
|
7. Moreover I will establish H3559 H853 his kingdom H4438 forever H5704 H5769 , if H518 he be constant H2388 to do H6213 my commandments H4687 and my judgments H4941 , as at this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
8. `And now, before the eyes of all Israel, the assembly of Jehovah, and in the ears of our God, keep and seek all the commands of Jehovah your God, so that ye possess this good land, and have caused your sons to inherit after you unto the age.
|
8. Now H6258 therefore in the sight H5869 of all H3605 Israel H3478 the congregation H6951 of the LORD H3068 , and in the audience H241 of our God H430 , keep H8104 and seek H1875 for all H3605 the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 : that H4616 ye may possess H3423 H853 this good H2896 land H776 , and leave it for an inheritance H5157 for your children H1121 after H310 you forever H5704 H5769 .
|
|
9. `And thou, Solomon, my son, know the God of thy father, and serve Him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind, for all hearts is Jehovah seeking, and every imagination of the thoughts He is understanding; if thou dost seek Him, He is found of thee, and if thou dost forsake Him, He casteth thee off for ever.
|
9. And thou H859 , Solomon H8010 my son H1121 , know H3045 thou H853 the God H430 of thy father H1 , and serve H5647 him with a perfect H8003 heart H3820 and with a willing H2655 mind H5315 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 searcheth H1875 all H3605 hearts H3824 , and understandeth H995 all H3605 the imaginations H3336 of the thoughts H4284 : if H518 thou seek H1875 him , he will be found H4672 of thee ; but if H518 thou forsake H5800 him , he will cast thee off H2186 forever H5704 .
|
|
10. See, now, for Jehovah hath fixed on thee to build a house for a sanctuary; be strong, and do.`
|
10. Take heed H7200 now H6258 ; for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath chosen H977 thee to build H1129 a house H1004 for the sanctuary H4720 : be strong H2388 , and do H6213 it .
|
|
11. And David giveth to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasures, and of its upper chambers, and of its innermost chambers, and of the house of the atonement;
|
11. Then David H1732 gave H5414 to Solomon H8010 his son H1121 H853 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 parlors H2315 thereof , and of the place H1004 of the mercy seat H3727 ,

12. and the pattern of all that hath been by the Spirit with him, for the courts of the house of Jehovah, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of God, and for the treasures of the things sacrificed;
|
12. And the pattern H8403 of all H3605 that H834 he had H1961 by the spirit H7307 , of H5973 the courts H2691 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , and of all H3605 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 :

|
19. All H3605 this, said David , the LORD H3068 made me understand H7919 in writing H3791 by his hand H4480 H3027 upon H5921 me, even all H3605 the works H4399 of this pattern H8403 .
