1David was like, "This is the crib for the Lord God, and that altar over there is for burnt offerings for Israel. Vibes."

2David told everyone to gather the peeps in Israel and got some builders to chop up stones for God's house. Lit.

3He stocked up on mad iron for the nails and doors, plus a ton of brass too, no cap.

4Also, he had a bunch of cedar trees, 'cause the Zidonians and Tyre sent him loads of cedar wood. Bussin'.

5David was like, "Solomon, my dude, you're young and soft. The house for the Lord has gotta be super lit, famous and glorious everywhere. I’m prepping for it big time."

6Then he called up Solomon and told him to build a house for the Lord God of Israel.

7David said to Solomon, "Yo, I wanted to build a house for the Lord my God."

8But God hit me up and said, "You’ve spilled a lot of blood and fought big wars, so you can't build my house, fam."

9"But check it, a son will be born to you who's all about chill vibes; I’ll give him peace from all his enemies, and his name will be Solomon."

10"He’s gonna build a house for my name; he’ll be my son, and I’ll be his father, establishing his kingdom over Israel forever."

11"Now, my son, may the Lord vibe with you; go hard and build the house of the Lord like He said."

12"Just make sure the Lord gives you wisdom and understanding, and keep the law of God."

13"You’ll pop off if you follow the rules God gave Moses for Israel; be strong, no fear, and don’t stress."

14"In my struggles, I’ve gathered tons of gold and silver for the Lord's house, and there’s so much brass and iron, plus timber and stone for you to use."

15"Plus, you got plenty of workers with you—stonecutters and builders, all skilled for every type of work. Goated."

16"There’s no counting the gold, silver, brass, or iron. So get up and start working; the Lord’s with you."

17David told all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon, saying,

18"Isn't the Lord your God with you? He’s given you peace all around; the land is chill and under control."

19"So set your heart and soul to seek the Lord your God; get up and build the sanctuary for the Lord, bringing the ark and holy stuff into the house for the Lord’s name."

1Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

2And 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.

3And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;

4Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

5And 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.

6Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the Lord God of Israel.

7And 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:

8But 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.

9Behold, 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.

10He 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.

11Now, 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.

12Only the Lord give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the Lord thy God.

13Then 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.

14Now, 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.

15Moreover 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.

16Of 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.

17David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

18Is 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.

19Now 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.
