1 Chronicles 22:2-29:25
2
David commanded to gather together the t resident aliens who were in the land of Israel, and he u set stonecutters to prepare dressed stones for building the house of God.
3
David also provided great quantities of iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for clamps, v as well as bronze in quantities beyond weighing,
4
and cedar timbers without number, w for the Sidonians and Tyrians brought great quantities of cedar to David.
5
For David said, x "Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and glory throughout all lands. I will therefore make preparation for it." So David provided materials in great quantity before his death.
6
Then he called for Solomon his son and charged him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.
7
David said to Solomon, "My son, y I had it in my heart to build a house to the name of the Lord my God.
8
But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, z 'You have shed much blood and have waged great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed so much blood before me on the earth.
9
Behold, a son shall be born to you who shall be a man of rest. a I will give him rest from all his surrounding enemies. b For his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.
10
c He shall build a house for my name. d He shall be my son, and I will be his father, and I will establish his royal throne in Israel forever.'
11
"Now, my son, e the Lord be with you, so that you may succeed in building the house of the Lord your God, as he has spoken concerning you.
12
f Only, may the Lord grant you discretion and understanding, that when he gives you charge over Israel you may keep the law of the Lord your God.
13
g Then you will prosper if you are careful to observe the statutes and the rules that the Lord commanded Moses for Israel. h Be strong and courageous. Fear not; do not be dismayed.
14
With great pains I have provided for the house of the Lord i 100,000 talents of gold, a million talents of silver, and j bronze and iron beyond weighing, for there is so much of it; timber and stone, too, I have provided. To these you must add.
15
You have an abundance of workmen: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and all kinds of craftsmen without number, skilled in working
16
gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Arise and work! k The Lord be with you!"
17
David also commanded l all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
18
"Is not the Lord your God with you? And m has he not given you peace on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land is subdued before the Lord and his people.
19
Now n set your mind and heart to seek the Lord your God. Arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, o so that the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the holy vessels of God may be brought into a house built p for the name of the Lord."
1 Chronicles 23
1
q When David was old and full of days, r he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2
David assembled all the leaders of Israel and the priests and the Levites.
3
The Levites, s thirty years old and upward, were numbered, and t the total was u 38,000 men.
4
"Twenty-four thousand of these," David said, v "shall have charge of the work in the house of the Lord, 6,000 shall be w officers and judges,
5
4,000 gatekeepers, and 4,000 shall offer praises to the Lord with the instruments x that I have made for praise."
6
y And David organized them in divisions z corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7
a The sons of Gershon were Ladan and Shimei.
8
The sons of Ladan: b Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9
The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Ladan.
10
And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11
Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, therefore they became counted as a single father's house.
12
c The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
13
d The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. e Aaron was set apart to dedicate the most holy things, that he and his sons forever should f make offerings before the Lord and g minister to him and h pronounce blessings in his name forever.
14
But the sons of Moses the i man of God were named among the j tribe of Levi.
15
The k sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16
The sons of Gershom: l Shebuel the chief.
17
The sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah the chief. Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18
The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
19
The m sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20
n The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief and Isshiah the second.
21
o The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and p Kish.
22
Eleazar died q having no sons, but only daughters; their r kinsmen, the sons of Kish, married them.
23
s The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24
t These were the sons of Levi by their fathers' houses, the heads of fathers' houses u as they were listed according to the number of the names of the individuals from v twenty years old and upward who were to do the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
25
For David said, "The Lord, the God of Israel, w has given rest to his people, and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26
And so the Levites no longer need x to carry the tabernacle or any of the things for its service."
27
For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered from v twenty years old and upward.
28
For their duty was to assist the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, having the care of the courts and the chambers, the cleansing of all that is holy, and any work for the service of the house of God.
29
Their duty was also to assist with the y showbread, the z flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the a baked offering, the b offering mixed with oil, and all c measures of quantity or size.
30
And they were to stand every morning, thanking and praising the Lord, and likewise at evening,
31
and whenever burnt offerings were offered to the Lord d on Sabbaths, e new moons, and feast days, f according to the number required of them, regularly before the Lord.
32
Thus g they were to keep charge of the tent of meeting and the sanctuary, and to attend the sons of Aaron, their brothers, for the h service of the house of the Lord.
1 Chronicles 24
1
The divisions of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of i Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2
j But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests.
3
With the help of k Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, David organized them according to the appointed duties in their service.
4
Since more chief men were found among the sons of Eleazar than among the sons of Ithamar, they organized them under sixteen heads of fathers' houses of the sons of Eleazar, and eight of the sons of Ithamar.
5
They divided them l by lot, all alike, for there were sacred officers and officers of God among both the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.
6
And the scribe Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king and the princes and Zadok the priest and m Ahimelech the son of Abiathar and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites, one father's house being chosen for Eleazar and one chosen for Ithamar.
7
The first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8
the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9
the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
10
the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to n Abijah,
11
the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
12
the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
13

the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,
17
the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
18
the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19
These had as their appointed duty in their service o to come into the house of the Lord according to the procedure established for them by Aaron their father, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.
20
And of the rest of the sons of Levi: p of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.
21
q Of Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief.
22
Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath.
23
r The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
24
s The sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir.
25
The brother of Micah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah.

28
Of Mahli: Eleazar, u who had no sons.
29
Of Kish, the sons of Kish: Jerahmeel.
30
v The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.
31
These also, the head of each father's house and his younger brother alike, w cast lots, just as their brothers the sons of Aaron, in the presence of King David, x Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites.
1 Chronicles 25
1
David and the chiefs of the service also set apart for the service the sons of y Asaph, and of z Heman, and of a Jeduthun, who b prophesied with lyres, with c harps, and with cymbals. The list of those who did the work and of their duties was:
2
Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah, sons of Asaph, under the direction of Asaph, who b prophesied under the direction of the king.
3

All these were the sons of Heman d the king's seer, according to the promise of God to exalt him, for God had given Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
6
They were all under the direction of their father in the music in the house of the Lord with cymbals, c harps, and lyres for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the order of the king.

26
This Shelomoth and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries of the dedicated gifts that David the king and the heads of the fathers' houses and the officers of the thousands and the hundreds and the commanders of the army w had dedicated.
27
From spoil won in battles they dedicated gifts for the maintenance of the house of the Lord.

1 Chronicles 27
1
This is the number of the people of Israel, the heads of fathers' houses, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and their officers who served the king in all matters concerning the divisions that came and went, month after month throughout the year, each division numbering 24,000:
2
e Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel was in charge of the first division in the first month; in his division were 24,000.

23
David did not count those below twenty years of age, for the w Lord had promised to make Israel as many as the stars of heaven.
24
Joab the son of Zeruiah began to count, but x did not finish. Yet y wrath came upon Israel for this, and the number was not entered in the chronicles of King David.
25
Over the king's treasuries was z Azmaveth the son of Adiel; and over the treasuries in the country, in the cities, in the villages, and in the towers, was Jonathan the son of Uzziah;

34
Ahithophel was succeeded by Jehoiada the son of f Benaiah, and g Abiathar. Joab was h commander of the king's army.
1 Chronicles 28
1
i David assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the j officials of the tribes, the officers of the divisions that served the king, the k commanders of thousands, the commanders of hundreds, the l stewards of all the property and livestock of the king and his sons, together with the palace officials, the m mighty men and all the seasoned warriors.
2
Then King David rose to his feet and said: "Hear me, my brothers and my people. n I had it in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord and for the o footstool of our God, and I made preparations for building.
3
But God said to me, p 'You may not build a house for my name, for you are a man of war and have shed blood.'
4
Yet the Lord God of Israel q chose me from all my father's house to be king over Israel r forever. s For he chose Judah as leader, and in the house of Judah my father's t house, and among my father's sons he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.
5
And of u all my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons) he v has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
6
He said to me, 'It is w Solomon your son who shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
7
I will establish his kingdom r forever x if he continues strong in keeping my commandments and my rules, as he is today.'
8
Now therefore in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the Lord your God, that you may possess this good land and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.
9
"And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a y whole heart and with a willing mind, z for the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. a If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
10
Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; b be strong and do it."
11
Then David gave Solomon his son the c plan of the d vestibule of the temple, and of its houses, its treasuries, its upper rooms, and its inner chambers, and of the room for the e mercy seat;
12
and the plan of all that he had in mind for the courts of the house of the Lord, all the surrounding chambers, f the treasuries of the house of God, and the treasuries for dedicated gifts;
13
for the g divisions of the priests and of the h Levites, and all the work of the service in the house of the Lord; for all the vessels for the service in the house of the Lord,
14
the weight of gold for all golden vessels for each service, the weight of silver vessels for each service,
15
the weight of the golden i lampstands and their lamps, the weight of gold for each lampstand and its lamps, the weight of silver for a lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand in the service,
16
the weight of gold for each table for the showbread, the silver for the silver tables,
17
and pure gold for the forks, the basins and the cups; for the golden bowls and the weight of each; for the silver bowls and the weight of each;
18
for the j altar of incense made of refined gold, and its weight; also his plan for the golden chariot of the k cherubim that spread their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
19
"All this he made clear to me in writing from the hand of the Lord, l all the work to be done according to the plan."
20
Then David said to Solomon his son, m "Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished.
21
And behold the n divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and with you in all the work will be o every willing man who has skill for any kind of service; also the officers and all the people will be wholly at your command."
1 Chronicles 29
1
And David the king said to all the assembly, "Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is p young and inexperienced, and the work is great, for q the palace will not be for man but for the Lord God.
2
So I have provided for the house of my God, so far as I was able, the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, besides great quantities of r onyx and stones for setting, antimony, colored stones, all sorts of precious stones and marble.
3
Moreover, in addition to all that I have provided for the holy house, I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, and because of my devotion to the house of my God I give it to the house of my God:
4
s 3,000 talents of gold, of the gold of t Ophir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver, for overlaying the walls of the house,
5
and for all the work to be done by craftsmen, gold for the things of gold and silver for the things of silver. Who then will offer willingly, consecrating himself today to the Lord?"
6
Then u the leaders of fathers' houses made their freewill offerings, as did also the leaders of the tribes, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and v the officers over the king's work.
7
They gave for the service of the house of God 5,000 talents and 10,000 w darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze and 100,000 talents of iron.
8
And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, in the care of x Jehiel the Gershonite.
9
Then the people rejoiced because they had given willingly, for with a y whole heart they had offered freely to the Lord. David the king also rejoiced greatly.
10
Therefore David blessed the Lord in the presence of all the assembly. And David said: z "Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.
11
a Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.
12
