9 And thou Solomon my son know thou the God of thy father and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind for the LORD searcheth all hearts and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts if thou seek him he will be found of thee but if thou forsake him he will cast thee off for ever 10 Take heed now for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary be strong and do it
11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch and of the houses thereof and of the treasuries thereof and of the upper chambers thereof and of the inner parlours thereof and of the place of the mercy seat 12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit of the courts of the house of the LORD and of all the chambers round about of the treasuries of the house of God and of the treasuries of the dedicated things 13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD 14 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold for all instruments of all manner of service silver also for all instruments of silver by weight for all instruments of every kind of service 15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold and for their lamps of gold by weight for every candlestick and for the lamps thereof and for the candlesticks of silver by weight both for the candlestick and also for the lamps thereof according to the use of every candlestick 16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread for every table and likewise silver for the tables of silver 17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks and the bowls and the cups and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver 18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims that spread out their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD
19 All this said David the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me even all the works of this pattern
20 And David said to Solomon his son Be strong and of good courage and do it fear not nor be dismayed for the LORD God even my God will be with thee he will not fail thee nor forsake thee until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD 21 And behold the courses of the priests and the Levites even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man for any manner of service also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment
