Then David said, 'This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar of burnt offerings for Israel.'

Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

David commanded the gathering of the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, and he appointed stonecutters to prepare dressed stones to build the house of God.

And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

David provided an abundance of iron for making nails for the doors of the gates and for clamps, as well as so much bronze that it was beyond measure.

And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;

He also supplied cedar logs without number, for the Sidonians and Tyrians brought great quantities of cedar logs to David.

Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

David said, 'My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent to promote His name and glory throughout all lands. Therefore, I will make preparations for it.' So David made extensive preparations before his death.

And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

Then he called for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.

Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.

David said to Solomon, 'My son, it was in my heart to build a house for the name of the Lord my God.'

And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 'You have shed much blood and have fought great wars. You shall not build a house for my name, because you have shed abundant blood on the earth in my sight.'

But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

Behold, a son will be born to you; he will be a man of rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies around him. His name will be Solomon, and I will grant peace and quiet to Israel during his reign.

Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

He will build a house for my name, and he will be my son, and I will be his father. I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.

He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

Now, my son, may the Lord be with you, so that you may succeed in building the house of the Lord your God, as He has spoken concerning you.

Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.

Only may the Lord give you wisdom and understanding and put you in charge of Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.

Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.

Then you will prosper if you are careful to observe the statutes and ordinances that the Lord commanded Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous; do not fear or be dismayed.

Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

Now, behold, in my trouble, I have prepared for the house of the Lord one hundred thousand talents of gold, a million talents of silver, and so much bronze and iron that it cannot be weighed, as well as timber and stone in abundance, which you may add to.

Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

Moreover, you have an abundance of workers—stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and every kind of skilled craftsman.

Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.

Gold, silver, bronze, and iron are beyond measure. Arise and begin the work, and may the Lord be with you.

Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.

Then David commanded all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon.

David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

He said, 'Isn’t the Lord your God with you? And hasn’t He given you rest on every side? For He has handed the inhabitants of the land over to me, and the land is subdued before the Lord and His people.'

Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.

Now set your heart and soul to seek the Lord your God. Arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the Lord.

Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.
