Solomon Instructed to Build the Temple

1 Now David assembled at Jerusalem all athe leaders of Israel: the officers of the tribes and bthe captains of the divisions who served the king, the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds, and cthe stewards over all the substance and1 possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officials, the valiant men, and all dthe mighty men of valor.  
2 Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Hear me, my brethren and my people: aI had it in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for bthe footstool of our God, and had made preparations to build it.  
3 But God said to me, a‘You shall not build a house for My name, because you have been a man of war and have shed bblood.’

1 Chronicles 28:1

Officer - literally, as in the margin. This is the only occasion in which eunuchs are mentioned in connection with David' s reign; and it is to be remarked that they occupy, during the earlier period of the Jewish kingdom, a very subordinate position.
