1 Chronicles 22

¹And Dauid saide, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for the burnt offring of Israel.

²And Dauid commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the lande of Israel, and he set masons to hewe and polish stones to builde the house of God.

³Dauid also prepared much yron for the nayles of the doores and of the gates, and for the ioynings, and abundance of brasse passing weight,

⁴And cedar trees without nomber: for the Zidonians and they of Tyrus brought much cedar wood to Dauid.

⁵And Dauid saide, Salomon my sonne is yong and tender, and we must builde an house for the Lord, magnificall, excellent and of great fame and dignitie throughout all countreyes. I will therefore nowe prepare for him. So Dauid prepared very much before his death.

⁶Then he called Salomon his sonne, and charged him to builde an house for the Lord God of Israel.

⁷And Dauid said to Salomon, My sonne, I purposed with my selfe to builde an house to the Name of the Lord my God,

⁸But the worde of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed much blood, and hast made great battels: thou shalt not builde an house vnto my Name: for thou hast shead much blood vpon the earth in my sight.

⁹Beholde, a sonne is borne to thee, which shalbe a man of rest, for I will giue him rest from all his enemies rounde about: therefore his name is Salomon: and I will sende peace and quietnes vpon Israel in his dayes.

¹⁰Hee shall builde an house for my Name, and he shalbe my sonne, and I will be his father, and I will establish the throne of his kingdome vpon Israel for euer.
