| 28:1 | And David <01732> assembled <06950> (8686) all the princes <08269> of Israel <03478>, the princes <08269> of the tribes <07626>, and the captains <08269> of the companies <04256> that ministered <08334> (8764) to the king <04428> by course <04256>, and the captains <08269> over the thousands <0505>, and captains <08269> over the hundreds <03967>, and the stewards <08269> over all the substance <07399> and possession <04735> of the king <04428>, and of his sons <01121>, with the officers <05631>, and with the mighty men <01368>, and with all the valiant men <02428>, unto Jerusalem <03389>. {possession: or, cattle} {and of...: or, and his sons} {officers: or, eunuchs} |
| 28:2 | Then David <01732> the king <04428> stood up <06965> (8799) upon his feet <07272>, and said <0559> (8799), Hear <08085> (8798) me, my brethren <0251>, and my people <05971>: [As for me], I [had] in mine heart <03824> to build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> of rest <04496> for the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>, and for the footstool <01916> <07272> of our God <0430>, and had made ready <03559> (8689) for the building <01129> (8800): |
| 28:3 | But God <0430> said <0559> (8804) unto me, Thou shalt not build <01129> (8799) an house <01004> for my name <08034>, because thou [hast been] a man <0376> of war <04421>, and hast shed <08210> (8804) blood <01818>. {blood: Heb. bloods} |
| 28:4 | Howbeit the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> chose <0977> (8799) me before all the house <01004> of my father <01> to be king <04428> over Israel <03478> for ever <05769>: for he hath chosen <0977> (8804) Judah <03063> [to be] the ruler <05057>; and of the house <01004> of Judah <03063>, the house <01004> of my father <01>; and among the sons <01121> of my father <01> he liked <07521> (8804) me to make [me] king <04427> (8687) over all Israel <03478>: |
| 28:5 | And of all my sons <01121>, (for the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> (8804) me many <07227> sons <01121>,) he hath chosen <0977> (8799) Solomon <08010> my son <01121> to sit <03427> (8800) upon the throne <03678> of the kingdom <04438> of the LORD <03068> over Israel <03478>. |
| 28:6 | And he said <0559> (8799) unto me, Solomon <08010> thy son <01121>, he shall build <01129> (8799) my house <01004> and my courts <02691>: for I have chosen <0977> (8804) him [to be] my son <01121>, and I will be his father <01>. |
| 28:7 | Moreover I will establish <03559> (8689) his kingdom <04438> for ever <05769>, if he be constant <02388> (8799) to do <06213> (8800) my commandments <04687> and my judgments <04941>, as at this day <03117>. {constant: Heb. strong} |
| 28:8 | Now therefore in the sight <05869> of all Israel <03478> the congregation <06951> of the LORD <03068>, and in the audience <0241> of our God <0430>, keep <08104> (8798) and seek <01875> (8798) for all the commandments <04687> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>: that ye may possess <03423> (8799) this good <02896> land <0776>, and leave [it] for an inheritance <05157> (8689) for your children <01121> after <0310> you for <05704> ever <05769>. |
| 28:9 | And thou, Solomon <08010> my son <01121>, know <03045> (8798) thou the God <0430> of thy father <01>, and serve <05647> (8798) him with a perfect <08003> heart <03820> and with a willing <02655> mind <05315>: for the LORD <03068> searcheth <01875> (8802) all hearts <03824>, and understandeth <0995> (8688) all the imaginations <03336> of the thoughts <04284>: if thou seek <01875> (8799) him, he will be found <04672> (8735) of thee; but if thou forsake <05800> (8799) him, he will cast thee off <02186> (8686) for ever <05703>. |
| 28:10 | Take heed <07200> (8798) now; for the LORD <03068> hath chosen <0977> (8804) thee to build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> for the sanctuary <04720>: be strong <02388> (8798), and do <06213> (8798) [it]. |
| 28:11 | Then David <01732> gave <05414> (8799) to Solomon <08010> his son <01121> the pattern <08403> of the porch <0197>, and of the houses <01004> thereof, and of the treasuries <01597> thereof, and of the upper chambers <05944> thereof, and of the inner <06442> parlours <02315> thereof, and of the place <01004> of the mercy seat <03727>, |
| 28:12 | And the pattern <08403> of all that he had by the spirit <07307>, of the courts <02691> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and of all the chambers <03957> round about <05439>, of the treasuries <0214> of the house <01004> of God <0430>, and of the treasuries <0214> of the dedicated things <06944>: {of all that...: Heb. of all that was with him} |
| 28:13 | Also for the courses <04256> of the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>, and for all the work <04399> of the service <05656> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and for all the vessels <03627> of service <05656> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>. |
| 28:14 | [He gave] of gold <02091> by weight <04948> for [things] of gold <02091>, for all instruments <03627> of all manner of service <05656>; [silver also] for all instruments <03627> of silver <03701> by weight <04948>, for all instruments <03627> of every kind of service <05656>: |
| 28:15 | Even the weight <04948> for the candlesticks <04501> of gold <02091>, and for their lamps <05216> of gold <02091>, by weight <04948> for every candlestick <04501>, and for the lamps <05216> thereof: and for the candlesticks <04501> of silver <03701> by weight <04948>, [both] for the candlestick <04501>, and [also] for the lamps <05216> thereof, according to the use <05656> of every candlestick <04501>. |
| 28:16 | And by weight <04948> [he gave] gold <02091> for the tables <07979> of shewbread <04635>, for every table <07979>; and [likewise] silver <03701> for the tables <07979> of silver <03701>: |
| 28:17 | Also pure <02889> gold <02091> for the fleshhooks <04207>, and the bowls <04219>, and the cups <07184>: and for the golden <02091> basons <03713> [he gave gold] by weight <04948> for every bason <03713>; and [likewise silver] by weight <04948> for every bason <03713> of silver <03701>: |
| 28:18 | And for the altar <04196> of incense <07004> refined <02212> (8794) gold <02091> by weight <04948>; and gold <02091> for the pattern <08403> of the chariot <04818> of the cherubims <03742>, that spread out <06566> (8802) [their wings], and covered <05526> (8802) the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>. |
| 28:19 | All [this, said David], the LORD <03068> made me understand <07919> (8689) in writing <03791> by [his] hand <03027> upon me, [even] all the works <04399> of this pattern <08403>. |
| 28:20 | And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) to Solomon <08010> his son <01121>, Be strong <02388> (8798) and of good courage <0553> (8798), and do <06213> (8798) [it]: fear <03372> (8799) not, nor be dismayed <02865> (8735): for the LORD <03068> God <0430>, [even] my God <0430>, [will be] with thee; he will not fail <07503> (8686) thee, nor forsake <05800> (8799) thee, until thou hast finished <03615> (8800) all the work <04399> for the service <05656> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>. |
| 28:21 | And, behold, the courses <04256> of the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>, [even they shall be with thee] for all the service <05656> of the house <01004> of God <0430>: and [there shall be] with thee for all manner of workmanship <04399> every willing <05081> skilful man <02451>, for any manner of service <05656>: also the princes <08269> and all the people <05971> [will be] wholly at thy commandment <01697>. |
