1. 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.

1. David held a meeting in Jerusalem of all the officials of Israel, the overseers for the tribes, and the officials in the royal service, the commanders of thousands, the commanders of hundreds, the overseers for all the property and livestock of the king and his sons, together with the palace officials, leading soldiers, and important men.

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 LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:

2. Then King David got up and said: "My brothers and my people, listen to me. I had set my heart on building a settled home for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, as a footstool for our God. I have made preparations for 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.

3. but God has said to me, 'You are not to build a temple for my name, for you have been a man of war and have shed blood.'

4. Howbeit the LORD 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:

4. Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me and my descendants to rule Israel forever. He chose Judah for leader, my family within the tribe of Judah, and of my father's sons, myself. He was pleased to make me king of all Israel.

5. And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

5. Of all my sons - he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of Yahweh 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.

6. He said to me, 'Solomon your son is the man to build my Temple and my courts, for I have chosen him to be a son to me and I will be a father to him.

7. Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.

7. I will make his kingdom last forever if he continues to obey carefully all my laws and commands as he does now.'

8. Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave [it] for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.

8. So now in the sight of all Israel and of the assembly of Yahweh, and in the hearing of our God, I tell you to observe and meditate on all the commandments of Yahweh your God, so that you may possess this prosperous land and leave it to your children after you as an inheritance forever.

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 LORD 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.

9. And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, serve him with an undivided heart and a willing mind; for Yahweh knows all our thoughts and desires. If you seek him, he will let you find him; but if you turn away from him, he will abandon you forever.

10. Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].

10. Realize at this moment that Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for him as sanctuary. Be strong and set to work."

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,

14. He instructed him about how much silver and gold was to be used for making the utensils,

15. Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, [both] for the candlestick, and [also] for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.

20. Then David said to his son Solomon, "Be strong, stand firm; be fearless, be determined and set to work, because Yahweh God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or abandon you before you have finished all the work to be done for the House of Yahweh.

21. And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, [even they shall be with thee] for all the service of the house of God: and [there shall be] with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people [will be] wholly at thy commandment.

Alaviitteet:

28:1-2 - David gathers the leaders of Israel to announce that their desire to build the Temple for God will not be carried out by him, but by his son Solomon. This decision reflects God's sovereignty over human plans and His choice of who will carry out His work (see also 2 Samuel 7:12-13 and Acts 13:22-23).

28:3-4 - God explains to David that he cannot build the Temple because he was a warrior and shed blood. Nevertheless, David is chosen to be the leader of Israel and the father of the messianic line. This highlights the importance of divine purpose in each person's life (see also 1 Samuel 16:7 and Isaiah 55:8-9).

28:5-7 - God chooses Solomon, David's son, to be the builder of the Temple and king of Israel. This choice reflects God's promise to establish an eternal kingdom, pointing to the lineage of Christ (see also 2 Samuel 7:13-16 and Matthew 1:1-2).

28:9-10 - David instructs Solomon to serve God with integrity and a faithful heart, emphasizing the importance of sincere devotion and constant seeking of God. A personal relationship with God is the key to spiritual and material success (see also Proverbs 3:5-6 and Jeremiah 29:13).

28:11-19 - David gives Solomon the detailed plans for the Temple, which he received by divine revelation. This demonstrates that the construction of the Temple was not merely a human desire, but a fulfillment of God's plan for Israel (see also Exodus 25:9 and Hebrews 8:5).
