13:022:008 But the word of the lord came to me,
saying, Thou hast shed
blood
abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt
not
build
an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much
blood
upon
the earth in my sight.
13:022:009 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who
shall be a man of
rest;
and I will give him rest from all his enemies round
about:
for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace
and
quietness unto Israel in his days.
13:022:010 He shall build an house for my name; and
he shall be my son,
and
I will be his father; and I will establish the throne
of
his
kingdom over Israel for ever.
13:022:011 Now, my son, the lord be with thee;
and prosper thou, and
build
the house of the lord thy God, as he hath said
of thee.
13:022:012 Only the lord give thee wisdom and
understanding, and give
thee
charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the
law
of
the lord thy God.
13:022:013 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest
heed to fulfil the
statutes
and judgments which the lord charged Moses with
concerning
Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread
not,
nor
be dismayed.
13:022:014 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared
for the house of
the
lord an hundred thousand talents of gold, and
a thousand
thousand
talents of silver; and of brass and iron without
weight;
for it is in abundance: timber also and stone
have I
prepared;
and thou mayest add thereto.
13:022:015 Moreover there are workmen with thee in
abundance, hewers and
workers
of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men
for
every
manner of work.
13:022:016 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass,
and the iron, there is
no
number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the
lord be with
thee.
13:022:017 David also commanded all the princes of
Israel to help Solomon
his
son, saying,
13:022:018 Is not the lord your God with you?
and hath he not given you
rest
on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of
the
land
into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the
lord,
and
before his people.
13:022:019 Now set your heart and your soul to seek
the lord your God;
arise
therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the lord
God,
to
bring the ark of the covenant of the lord, and
the holy
vessels
of God, into the house that is to be built to the name
of
the lord.
13:023:001 So when David was old and full of days,
he made Solomon his
son
king over Israel.
