For I have not dwelled H3427 in an house H1004 since H4480 the day H3117 that I brought H5927 up Israel H3478 to this H2088 day; H3117 but have gone H1961 from tent H168 to tent, H168 and from one tabernacle H4908 to another.

Now H6258 therefore thus H3541 shall you say H559 to my servant H5650 David, H1732 Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 I took H3947 you from the sheepcote, H5116 even from following H310 the sheep, H6629 that you should be ruler H5057 over H5921 my people H5971 Israel: H3478

Also I will ordain H7760 a place H4725 for my people H5971 Israel, H3478 and will plant H5193 them, and they shall dwell H7931 in their place, H8478 and shall be moved H7264 no H3808 more; H5750 neither H3808 shall the children H1121 of wickedness H5766 waste H1086 them any more, H3254 as at the beginning, H7223

And it shall come H1961 to pass, when H3588 your days H3117 be expired H4390 that you must go H3212 to be with your fathers, H1 that I will raise H6965 up your seed H2233 after H310 you, which H834 shall be of your sons; H1121 and I will establish H3559 his kingdom. H4438

But the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to me, saying, H559 You have shed H8210 blood H1818 abundantly, H7230 and have made H6213 great H1419 wars: H4421 you shall not build H1129 an house H1004 to my name, H8034 because H3588 you have shed H8210 much H7227 blood H1818 on the earth H776 in my sight. H6440

He shall build H1129 an house H1004 for my name; H8034 and he shall be my son, H1121 and I will be his father; H25 and I will establish H3559 the throne H3678 of his kingdom H4438 over H5921 Israel H3478 for ever. H5769

Then David H1732 gave H5414 to Solomon H8010 his son H1121 the pattern H8403 of the porch, H197 and of the houses H1004 thereof, and of the treasuries H1597 thereof, and of the upper H5944 chambers H5944 thereof, and of the inner H6442 parlors H2315 thereof, and of the place H1004 of the mercy H3727 seat,

Also for the courses H4256 of the priests H3548 and the Levites, H3881 and for all H3605 the work H4399 of the service H5656 of the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and for all H3605 the vessels H3627 of service H5656 in the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068

Even the weight H4948 for the candlesticks H4501 of gold, H2091 and for their lamps H5216 of gold, H2091 by weight H4948 for every candlestick, H4501 and for the lamps H5216 thereof: and for the candlesticks H4501 of silver H3701 by weight, H4948 both for the candlestick, H4501 and also for the lamps H5216 thereof, according to the use H5656 of every candlestick. H4501

Also pure H2889 gold H2091 for the meat hooks, H4207 and the bowls, H4219 and the cups: H7184 and for the golden H2091 basins H3713 he gave gold by weight H4948 for every basin; H3713 and likewise silver by weight H4948 for every basin H3713 of silver: H3701

All H3605 this, said David, the LORD H3068 made me understand H7919 in writing H3791 by his hand H3027 on me, even all H3605 the works H4399 of this pattern. H8403

And, behold, H2009 the courses H4256 of the priests H3548 and the Levites, H3881 even they shall be with you for all H3605 the service H5656 of the house H1004 of God: H430 and there shall be with you for all H3605 manner of workmanship H4399 every H3605 willing H5081 skillful H2451 man, for any H3605 manner of service: H5656 also the princes H8269 and all H3605 the people H5971 will be wholly H3605 at your commandment. H1697

For as much H3606 as you are sent H7972 of the king, H4430 and of his seven H7655 counsellors, H3272 to inquire H1240 concerning H5922 Judah H3061 and Jerusalem, H3390 according to the law H1882 of your God H426 which H1768 is in your hand; H3028

And all H3606 the silver H3702 and gold H1722 that you can find H7912 in all H3606 the province H4082 of Babylon, H895 with the freewill H5069 offering of the people, H5972 and of the priests, H3549 offering willingly H5068 for the house H1005 of their God H426 which H1768 is in Jerusalem: H3390

And whatever H1401 H1768 shall seem H3191 good H3191 to you, and to your brothers, H252 to do H5648 with the rest H7606 of the silver H3702 and the gold, H1722 that do H5648 after the will H7470 of your God. H426

And whatever more H7606 shall be needful H2819 for the house H1005 of your God, H426 which H1768 you shall have occasion H5308 to bestow, H5415 bestow H5415 it out of the king's H4430 treasure H1596 house. H1005

To an hundred H3969 talents H3604 of silver, H3702 and to an hundred H3969 measures H3734 of wheat, H2591 and to an hundred H3969 baths H1325 of wine, H2562 and to an hundred H3969 baths H1324 of oil, H4887 and salt H4416 without H3809 prescribing H3792 how much.

Also we certify H3046 you, that touching any H3606 of the priests H3549 and Levites, H3879 singers, H2171 porters, H8652 Nethinims, H5412 or ministers H6399 of this H1836 house H1005 of God, H426 it shall not be lawful H7990 to impose H7412 toll, H4061 tribute, H1093 or custom, H1983 on them.

And whoever H3605 will not do H5648 the law H1882 of your God, H426 and the law H1882 of the king, H4430 let judgment H1780 be executed H5648 speedily H629 on him, whether H2006 it be to death, H4193 or H2006 to banishment, H8332 or H2006 to confiscation H6065 of goods, H5232 or to imprisonment. H613

And has extended H5186 mercy H2617 to me before H6440 the king, H4428 and his counsellors, H3289 and before H6440 all H3605 the king's H4428 mighty H1368 princes. H8269 And I was strengthened H2388 as the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 my God H430 was on me, and I gathered H6908 together out of Israel H3478 chief H7218 men to go H5927 up with me.

All H3605 the flocks H6629 of Kedar H6938 shall be gathered H6908 together to you, the rams H352 of Nebaioth H5032 shall minister H8334 to you: they shall come H5927 up with acceptance H7522 on H5921 my altar, H4196 and I will glorify H6286 the house H1004 of my glory. H8597

Surely H3588 the isles H339 shall wait H6960 for me, and the ships H591 of Tarshish H8659 first, H7223 to bring H935 your sons H1121 from far, H7350 their silver H3701 and their gold H2091 with them, to the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 your God, H430 and to the Holy H6918 One of Israel, H3478 because H3588 he has glorified H6286 you.

Therefore your gates H8179 shall be open H6605 continually; H8548 they shall not be shut H5462 day H3119 nor night; H3915 that men may bring H935 to you the forces H2428 of the Gentiles, H1471 and that their kings H4428 may be brought. H5090
