  • 1 Chr 15:12-16 : 12 He said to them, "You are the heads of the Levitical families. Consecrate yourselves, you and your relatives, so that you may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place I prepared for it. 13 For because you did not carry it the first time, the LORD our God broke out against us, since we did not seek Him according to the proper procedure." 14 So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves in order to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel. 15 The Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD. 16 David instructed the leaders of the Levites to appoint their fellow Levites as singers, to sing joyful songs accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals.

David also wore a linen ephod. 28 So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouts of joy, the sound of the ram's horn, trumpets, cymbals, and the music of harps and lyres. 29 As the ark of the covenant of the LORD entered the City of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looked out of the window. When she saw King David leaping and celebrating, she despised him in her heart.

  • 1 Chr 22:1-9 : 1 Then David said, 'This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar of burnt offerings for Israel.' 2 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. 3 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. 4 He also supplied cedar logs without number, for the Sidonians and Tyrians brought great quantities of cedar logs to David. 5 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. 6 Then he called for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel. 7 David said to Solomon, 'My son, it was in my heart to build a house for the name of the Lord my God.' 8 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.' 9 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. 10 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. 11 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. 12 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. 13 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. 14 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. 15 Moreover, you have an abundance of workers—stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and every kind of skilled craftsman. 16 Gold, silver, bronze, and iron are beyond measure. Arise and begin the work, and may the Lord be with you. 17 Then David commanded all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon. 18 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.' 19 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.
