King David stood up. He said,“ All of you Israelites, listen to me. With all my heart I wanted to build a house for the Lord. I wanted it to be a place of peace and rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord. The ark is the stool for our God’s feet. I made plans to build the Lord’ s house.

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

King David rose to his feet and said:“ Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I wanted to build a temple where the ark of the LORD’s covenant could be placed as a footstool for our God. I have made the preparations for building it.

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 Yahweh’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.

This is what the Lord says:“ Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Could you build me a temple as good as that? Could you build me such a resting place?

Exalt the Lord our God! Bow low before his feet, for he is holy!

When David was settled in his palace, he summoned Nathan the prophet.“ Look,” David said,“ I am living in a beautiful cedar palace, but the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant is out there under a tent!”Nathan replied to David,“ Do whatever you have in mind, for God is with you.”

The Lord in his anger has cast a dark shadow over beautiful Jerusalem. The fairest of Israel’s cities lies in the dust, thrown down from the heights of heaven. In his day of great anger, the Lord has shown no mercy even to his Temple.

This regular reading will prevent him from becoming proud and acting as if he is above his fellow citizens. It will also prevent him from turning away from these commands in the smallest way. And it will ensure that he and his descendants will reign for many generations in Israel.

“ This is my resting place forever,” he said.“ I will live here, for this is the home I desired.

And all the royal officials have gone to King David and congratulated him, saying,‘ May your God make Solomon’s fame even greater than your own, and may Solomon’s reign be even greater than yours!’ Then the king bowed his head in worship as he lay in his bed,

So David gave orders to call together the foreigners living in Israel, and he assigned them the task of preparing finished stone for building the Temple of God.David provided large amounts of iron for the nails that would be needed for the doors in the gates and for the clamps, and he gave more bronze than could be weighed.He also provided innumerable cedar logs, for the men of Tyre and Sidon had brought vast amounts of cedar to David.David said,“ My son Solomon is still young and inexperienced. And since the Temple to be built for the Lord must be a magnificent structure, famous and glorious throughout the world, I will begin making preparations for it now.” So David collected vast amounts of building materials before his death.

So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.For he said to God,“ I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people.”

David brought the gold shields of Hadadezer’s officers to Jerusalem,along with a large amount of bronze from Hadadezer’s towns of Tebah and Cun. Later Solomon melted the bronze and molded it into the great bronze basin called the Sea, the pillars, and the various bronze articles used at the Temple.When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had destroyed the entire army of King Hadadezer of Zobah,he sent his son Joram to congratulate King David for his successful campaign. Hadadezer and Toi had been enemies and were often at war. Joram presented David with many gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.King David dedicated all these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from the other nations— from Edom, Moab, Ammon, Philistia, and Amalek.

If this happens, be sure to select as king the man the Lord your God chooses. You must appoint a fellow Israelite; he may not be a foreigner.

Then Solomon said,“ My father, David, wanted to build this Temple to honor the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.But the Lord told him,‘ You wanted to build the Temple to honor my name. Your intention is good,

When King David was settled in his palace and the Lord had given him rest from all the surrounding enemies,the king summoned Nathan the prophet.“ Look,” David said,“ I am living in a beautiful cedar palace, but the Ark of God is out there in a tent!”

David assigned the following men to lead the music at the house of the Lord after the Ark was placed there.

I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people.

‘ Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Could you build me a temple as good as that?’ asks the Lord.‘ Could you build me such a resting place?

“ I will not go home; I will not let myself rest.I will not let my eyes sleep nor close my eyelids in slumberuntil I find a place to build a house for the Lord, a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.”We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah; then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar.Let us go to the sanctuary of the Lord; let us worship at the footstool of his throne.Arise, O Lord, and enter your resting place, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.

“ I have worked hard to provide materials for building the Temple of the Lord— nearly 4,000 tons of gold, 40,000 tons of silver, and so much iron and bronze that it cannot be weighed. I have also gathered timber and stone for the walls, though you may need to add more.

Then all Israel gathered before David at Hebron and told him,“ We are your own flesh and blood.In the past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who really led the forces of Israel. And the Lord your God told you,‘ You will be the shepherd of my people Israel. You will be the leader of my people Israel.’”So there at Hebron, David made a covenant before the Lord with all the elders of Israel. And they anointed him king of Israel, just as the Lord had promised through Samuel.
