A Novel of King David
David in 1 Chronicles 28
(1 Chronicles 28:1) And David gathered to Jerusalem all the rulers of Israel,
the rulers of the tribes, and the commanders of the divisions that ministered to
the king by division, and the commanders over the thousands, and commanders over
the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the
king, and of his sons, with the eunuchs and the mighty ones, even to every
mighty one of valor.
(1 Chronicles 28:2) And David the king stood up on his feet and said, Hear me,
my brothers and my people. I had in my heart to build a 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.
(1 Chronicles 28:3) But God said to me, You shall not build a house for My name,
because you have been a man of war and have shed blood.
(1 Chronicles 28:4) But Jehovah, the God of Israel chose me before all the house
of my father to be king over Israel forever. For He has chosen Judah to be the
ruler, and of the house of Judah the house of my father. And in my father's
house He was pleased to make me king over all Israel.
(1 Chronicles 28:5) And of all my sons (for Jehovah has given me many sons), He
has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over
Israel.
(1 Chronicles 28:6) And He said to me, Solomon your son shall build My house and
My courts, for I have chosen him to be My son, and I will be his Father.
(1 Chronicles 28:7) And I will establish his kingdom forever if he will always
do My commandments and My judgments, as at this day.
(1 Chronicles 28:8) And now in the sight of all Israel, the congregation of
Jehovah, and in the hearing of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments
of Jehovah your God, so that you may possess this good land and leave it for an
inheritance for your sons after you forever.
(1 Chronicles 28:9) And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and
serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind. For Jehovah searches all
hearts and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He
will be found by you. But if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.
(1 Chronicles 28:10) Take heed now, for Jehovah has chosen you to build a house
for the sanctuary. Be strong and do it.
(1 Chronicles 28:11) And David gave to his son Solomon the pattern of the porch,
and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of its upper rooms, and of its
innermost rooms, and of the place of the mercy-seat,
(1 Chronicles 28:12) and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, of the
courts of the house of Jehovah, and of all the rooms all around the treasuries
of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the holy things;
(1 Chronicles 28:13) And for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and
for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all the vessels
of service in the house of Jehovah;
(1 Chronicles 28:14) even gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments
of every kind of service; silver for all the vessels of silver by weight, for
all vessels every kind of service;
(1 Chronicles 28:15) and by weight for the lampstands of gold, and for their
lamps of gold, with the weight of each lampstand and its lamps. And he gave for
the lampstands of silver by weight, for the lampstand and for its lamps,
according to the use of each lampstand;
(1 Chronicles 28:16) and by weight gold for the tables of the showbread, for
every table; silver for the tables of silver;
(1 Chronicles 28:17) and pure gold for the flesh-hooks, and the bowls, and the
cups; and for the golden basins by weight for each basin, and by weight for each
basin of silver;
(1 Chronicles 28:18) and the altar of incense refined gold by weight, and gold
for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubs, who spread out their wings, and
covered the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
(1 Chronicles 28:19) All was in writing from the hand of Jehovah. He made me
understand all the work of this pattern.
(1 Chronicles 28:20) And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good
courage, and do it. Do not fear, nor be dismayed, for Jehovah God, my God, will
be with you. He will not fail you nor leave you until you have finished all the
work for the service of the house of Jehovah.
(1 Chronicles 28:21) And, behold, the divisions of the priests and the Levites
are for all the service of the house of God. And there shall be with you every
willing, skillful man for every kind of workmanship, for any kind of service.
Also the rulers and all the people will be according to all your words.
