1 Chronicles 28:11
Compare all
9 “As for you, my son Solomon, aknow the God of your father, and serve Him bwith a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for cthe Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. dIf you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will ecast you off forever.  
10 Consider now, afor the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.”  
11 Then David gave his son Solomon athe plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat;  
12 and the aplans for all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, of all the chambers all around, bof the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries for the dedicated things;  
13 also for the division of the priests and the aLevites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and for all the articles of service in the house of the Lord.  
14 He gave gold by weight for things of gold, for all articles used in every kind of service; also silver for all articles of silver by weight, for all articles used in every kind of service;
15 the weight for the alampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight for each lampstand and its lamps; for the lampstands of silver by weight, for the lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand.  
16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of the showbread, for each atable, and silver for the tables of silver;  
17 also pure gold for the forks, the basins, the pitchers of pure gold, and the golden bowls—he gave gold by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls, silver by weight for every bowl;
18 and refined gold by weight for the aaltar of incense, and for the construction of the chariot, that is, the gold bcherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the Lord.  
19 “All this,” said David, a“the Lord made me understand in writing, by His hand upon me, all the1 works of these plans.”  
20 And David said to his son Solomon, a“Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God—my God—will be with you. bHe will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

I & II Chronicles

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF CHRONICLES were also considered as one by the ancient Jews, who called them "words of days," that is, diaries or journals, being probably compiled from those registers that were kept by the king's historiographers of passing occurrences. In the Septuagint the title given them is Paraleipomenon, "of things omitted," that is, the books are supplementary because many things unnoticed in the former books are here recorded; and not only the omissions are supplied, but some narratives extended while others are added. The authorship is commonly ascribed to Ezra, whose leading object seems to have been to show the division of families, possessions, etc., before the captivity, with a view to the exact restoration of the same order after the return from Babylon. Although many things are restated and others are exact repetitions of what is contained in Kings, there is so much new and important information that, as JEROME has well said, the Chronicles furnish the means of comprehending parts of the New Testament, which must have been unintelligible without them. They are frequently referred to by Christ and the Apostles as forming part of "the Word of God" (see the genealogies in Mat. 1:1-16; Luk. 3:23-38; compare II Chronicles 19:7 with I Peter 1:17; II Chronicles 24:19-21 with Matthew 23:32-35).
