1 Chronicles, 28

1. David then summoned to Jerusalem all the officials of Israel -- the tribal chiefs, the senior officials in the royal service, the commanders of the thousands, the commanders of the hundreds and the overseers of all the property and livestock belonging to the king and to his sons-including the court officials, the champions and all the men of standing.

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.

2. King David then rose to his feet and said: 'My brothers and my people, listen to me. I have set my heart on building a settled home for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, for the footstool for our God, but when I was ready to build it,

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:

3. God said to me, "You must not build a house for my name, for you have been a man of war and have shed blood."

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.

4. 'Even so, out of my entire family, it was I whom Yahweh, God of Israel, chose to reign over Israel for ever. Having chosen Judah as leader, and my family out of the House of Judah, it pleased him out of all my father's sons to make me king of all Israel.

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:

5. Out of all my sons -- for Yahweh has given me many -- he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on Yahweh's sovereign throne over 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.

6. Furthermore, he has told me, "Solomon your son is the man to build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son and I shall be his father.

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.

7. I shall make his sovereignty secure for ever if he sturdily carries out my commandments and ordinances as he does now."

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

8. 'So now in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Yahweh, and in the hearing of our God, I charge you to observe and adhere strictly to all the commandments of Yahweh your God, so that you may retain possession of this fine country and leave it to your sons after you as a heritage for ever.

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.

9. 'And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with an undivided heart and willing mind; for Yahweh scrutinises all hearts and understands whatever plans they may devise. If you seek him, he will let you find him; but forsake him and he will cast you off for ever.

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.

10. So, since Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for his sanctuary, go resolutely to work!'

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

11. David then gave his son Solomon the plans for the portico, the plans for the buildings, its storehouses, its upper rooms, its inner rooms and the room for the throne of mercy

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,

12. as well as the plans for everything that he had in mind: for the courts of the house of Yahweh, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the house of God and for the sacred treasuries,

12. And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:

13. for the orders of priests and Levites, for all the duties to be carried out in the service of the house of Yahweh, and for all the liturgical objects to be used in the house of Yahweh;

13. Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.

14. for the gold bullion, for all the golden liturgical objects of various uses; for the silver bullion, for all the silver liturgical objects of various uses;

14. [He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:

15. for the gold bullion for the golden lamp-stands and for their lamps, and for the silver bullion for the silver lamp-stands and their lights, depending on the function of each lamp-stand;

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.

16. for the gold bullion for each of the tables for the loaves of permanent offering and the silver for the silver tables;

16. And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and [likewise] silver for the tables of silver:

17. for the pure gold for the forks, the bowls and the jars, for the gold bullion for each of the golden basins and for the silver bullion for each of the silver basins;

17. Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons [he gave gold] by weight for every bason; and [likewise silver] by weight for every bason of silver:

18. and for the refined gold bullion for the altar of incense; also for the gold for the model of the chariot and of the great winged creatures which cover the ark of the covenant of Yahweh with wings outspread-

18. And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

19. all this was in the document conveying Yahweh's instructions, by which he revealed the pattern of what was to be done.

19. All [this, said David], the LORD made me understand in writing by [his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of this pattern.

20. David then said to his son Solomon, 'Be resolute and courageous in your work, do not be afraid or disheartened, because Yahweh God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you before you have finished all the work to be done for the house of Yahweh.

20. And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

21. And besides, there are the orders of priests and Levites for whatever is needed in connection with the house of God, and you have at your disposal every kind of craftsman for whatever has to be done, as well as the officials and all the people entirely at your command.'

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.

Fusnote:

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).

1 Chronicles chapter 28 records David's final instructions. How does a leader pass the baton? This crucial text recounts David's speech to Israel's leaders, emphasizing the construction of the Temple and Solomon's succession. The chapter addresses topics such as spiritual legacy, obedience to God and the importance of following the divine plan. David encourages Solomon and delivers detailed plans for the Temple. 1 Chronicles 28 reveals David's heart for Israel's future. Analyze with us five biblical passages that relate to the fundamental themes of this transitional chapter.

1 Kings 8:17-18: "My father David had in his heart the desire to build a temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. But the Lord said to my father David, 'You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name.'" - This passage from Solomon echoes David's desire to build the temple, mentioned in 1 Chronicles 28.

Proverbs 22:6: "Instruct your child according to the goals you have for them, and even as the years go by, they will not deviate from them." - This proverb reflects David's advice to Solomon in 1 Chronicles 28, preparing him to be king and build the temple.

2 Timothy 3:16-17: "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be equipped and fully prepared for every good work." - This passage resonates with the importance of the divine instructions David gives to Solomon in 1 Chronicles 28.

Joshua 1:7: "Just be strong and very courageous! Be careful to obey all the law that my servant Moses commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may succeed wherever you go." - God's words of encouragement to Joshua are similar to those of David to Solomon in 1 Chronicles 28.
