Καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασεν Δαυεὶδ πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ἰσραὴλ ἄρχοντας τῶν κριτῶν, καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν ἐφημεριῶν τῶν περὶ τὸ σῶμα τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἄρχοντας τῶν χιλιάδων καὶ τῶν ἑκατοντάδων, καὶ τοὺς γαζοφύλακας, καὶ τοὺς ἐπὶ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς δυνάστας, καὶ τοὺς μαχητὰς ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.

καὶ ἔστη Δαυεὶδ ἐν μέσῳ τῆς ἐκκλησίας καὶ εἶπεν Ἀκούσατέ μου, ἀδελφοὶ καὶ λαός μου. ἐμοὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ καρδίαν οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον ἀναπαύσεως τῆς κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης Κυρίου καὶ στάσιν ποδῶν κυρίου ἡμῶν, καὶ ἡτοί ¹² μασα τὰ εἰς τὴν κατασκήνωσιν ἐπιτήδεια· ³καὶ ὁ θεὸς εἶπεν Οὐκ οἰκοδομήσεις ³ ἐμοὶ οἶκον τοῦ ἐπονομάσαι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, ὅτι ἄνθραωπος πολεμιστὴς εἶ σὺ καὶ αἵμα ἐξέχεας.

καὶ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἀπὸ παντὸς οἴκου πατρός μου εἶναι βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἡρέτικεν τὸ βασίλειον, καὶ ἐξ οἴκου Ἰούδα τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου· ἐν ἐμοὶ ἠθέλησεν, τοῦ γενέσθαι με βασιλέα ἐπὶ τῷ παντὶ Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν υἱῶν μου, ὅτι πολλοὺς υἱοὺς ἔδωκέν μοι Κύριος, ἐξελέξατο ἐν Σαλωμὼν τῷ υἱῷ μου καθίσαι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ θρόνου βασιλείας Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὁ θεός Σαλωμὼν ὁ υἱός σου κληρονομήσει τὸν οἶκόν μου καὶ τὴν αὐλήν μου, ὅτι ἡρέτικα ἐν αὐτῷ εἶναἰ μου υἱόν, κἀγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτῷ εἰς πατέρα.

καὶ κατορθώσω τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος, ἐὰν ἰσχύσῃ τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὰς ἐντολάς μου κάὶ τὰ κρίματά μου ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη.

καὶ νῦν κατὰ πρόσωπον πάσης ἐκκλησίας Κυρίου καὶ ζητήσατε τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ἴνα κληρονομήσητε τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀγαθὴν τοῖς υἱοῖς ἡμῶν ἕως αἰῶνος.

καὶ νῦν, Σαλωμών, γνῶθι τὸν θεὸν τῶν πατέρων σου καὶ δούλευε ἐν καρδίᾳ τελείᾳ καὶ ψυχῇ θελούσῃ, ὅτι πάσας καρδίας ἐτάζει Κύριος καὶ πᾶν ἐνθύμημα γιγνώσκει· ἐὰν ζητήσῃς αὐτόν, εὑρεθήσεταί σοι· καὶ ἐὰν καταλείψῃς αὐτόν, καταλείψει σε εἰς τέλος.

ἴ· Κύριος ῆρέτικέν σε οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτῷ οἶκον εἰς ἁγίασμα· ἴσχυε καὶ ποίει.

Καὶ ἔδωκεν Δαυεὶδ Σαλωμὼν τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ τὸ παράδειγμα τοῦ ναοῦ καὶ τῶν οἴκων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν ζακχὼ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶυ ὑπερῷαων καὶ τῶν ἀποθηκῶν τῶν ἐσωτέρων καὶ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ἐξιλασμοῦ,

καὶ τὸ παράδειγμα ὁ εἶχεν ἐν πνεύματι αὐτοῦ τῶν αὐλῶυ οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ πάντων τῶν παστοφορίων τῶν κύκλῳ τῶν εἰς τὰς ἀποθήκας Κυρίου καὶ τῶν ἀποθηκῶν τῶν ἁγίων,

καὶ τῶν καταλυμάτων τῶν ἐβημεριῶν τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευεῖτων εἰς πᾶσαν ἐργασίαν λειτουργίας οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ τῶν ἀποθηκῶν τῶν λειτουργησίμων ⁴⁶ σκευῶν.

καὶ τὸν σταθμὸν τῆς ὁλκῆς αὐτῶν τῶν τε χρυσῶν καὶ ἀργυρῶν,

λυχνιῶν τὴν ὁλκὴν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ καὶ τῶν λύχναων.

ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁμοίως τὸν σταθμὸν τῶν τραπεζῶν τῆς προθέσεως, ἑκάστης τραπέζης χρυσῆς καὶ ὡσαύτως τῶν ἀργυρῶν,

καὶ τῶν κρεαγρῶν καὶ σπονδείων καὶ τῶν φιαλῶν τῶν χρυσῶν, καὶ σταθμὸν τῶν χρυσῶν καὶ τῶν ἀργυρῶν, ἑκάστου σταθμοῦ.

καὶ τὸν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τῶν θυμιαμάτων ἐκ χρυσίου δοκίμου σταθμὸν ὑπέδειξεν αὐτῷ, καὶ τὸ παράδειγμα τοῦ ἄρματος τῶν χερουβεὶν τῶν διαπεπετασμένων ταῖς πτέρυξιν καὶ σκιαζόντων ἐπὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης Κυρίου.

πάντα ἐν γραφῇ χειρὸς Κυρίου ἔδωκεν Δαυεὶδ Σαλωμὼν κατὰ τὴν περιγενηθεῖσαν αὐτῷ σύνεσιν τῆς κατεργασίας τοῦ παραδείγματος.

καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ Σαλωμὼν τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ Ἴσχυε καὶ ἀνδρίζου καὶ ποίει, μὴ φοβοῦ μηδὲ πτοηθῇς· ὅτι Κύριος ὁ θεός μου μετά σοῦ, οὐκ ἀνήσει σε καὶ οὐ μή σε ἐνκαταλίπῃ ἕως τοῦ συντελέσαι σε πᾶσαν ἐργασίαν λειτουργίας οἴκου Κυρίου. τὸ παράδειγμα τοῦ ναοῦ καὶ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ σακχὼ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ὑπερῷα καὶ τὰς ἀποθήκας τὰς ἐσωτέρας καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἱλασμοῦ, καὶ τὸ παράδειγμα οἴκου Κυρίου.

καὶ ἰδοὺ αἱ ἐφημερίαι τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευείτων εἰς πᾶσαν λειτουργίαν οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ μετὰ σοῦ ἐν πάσῃ πραγματείᾳ, καὶ πᾶς πρόθυμος ἐν σοφίᾳ κατὰ πᾶσαν τέχνην, καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἰς πάντας τοὺς λόγους σου.

I Chronicles Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 28 focus

David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies who served the king by course, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem.

Then David the king stood up on his feet, and said, Hear me, my brothers, and my people: as for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and for the footstool of our God; and I had made ready for the building.

But God said to me, You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war, and have shed blood.

However Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever: for he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel;

Of all my sons (for Yahweh has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Yahweh over Israel.

He said to me, Solomon your son, he shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

I will establish his kingdom forever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my ordinances, as at this day.

Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Yahweh, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Yahweh your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.

You, Solomon my son, know you the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

Take heed now; for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch [of the temple], and of the houses of it, and of the treasuries of it, and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner chambers of it, and of the place of the mercy seat;

and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of Yahweh, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;

also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh, and for all the vessels of service in the house of Yahweh;

of gold by weight for the [vessels of] gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; [of silver] for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;

by weight also for the lampstands of gold, and for the lamps of it, of gold, by weight for every lampstand and for the lamps of it; and for the lampstands of silver, [silver] by weight for [every] lampstand and for the lamps of it, according to the use of every lampstand;

and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;

and the flesh-hooks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;

and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot, [even] the cherubim, that spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.

All this, [said David], have I been made to understand in writing from the hand of Yahweh, even all the works of this pattern.

David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of Yahweh is finished.

Behold, there are the courses of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with you in all manner of work every willing man who has skill, for any manner of service: also the captains and all the people will be wholly at your commandment.
