David Prepares to Build the Temple
1 Then David said, a“This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
2 So David commanded to gather the aaliens who were in the land of Israel; and he appointed masons to bcut hewn stones to build the house of God.
3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails of the doors of the gates and for the joints, and bronze in abundance abeyond measure,
4 and cedar trees in abundance; for the aSidonians and those from Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
5 Now David said, a“Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it.” So David made abundant preparations before his death.
