Chap. XXVIII.
note
Agayne king Dauid calling al his states together, with commemoration of
Gods singular fauour in electing him, and Salomon, 8. exhorteth them al,
and namely his sonne to serue God sincerly: 10. and to build the temple,
describing in what forme to make it.
1 David therfore called together al the princes of Israel,
the dukes of the tribes, and the heades of the compaynies,
which ministred to the king: the tribunes also and the
centurions, and them that were chiefe ouer the substance
and possessions of the king, and his sonnes with the eunuches,
and the mightie, and al the most viliant in the host of
Ierusalem.
2 And when the king had risen vp, and stoode, he
sayd: Heare me my brethren, and my people: I meant to haue
built a house, wherein the Arke of our Lord might rest, and
the foote stoole of the feete of our God: and to build it I
prepared al thinges.
3 But God sayd to me: Thou shalt not
build a house to my name: because thou art a man of warre,
and hast shed bloud.
4 Howbeit our Lord the God of Israel
chose me of al the house of my father, to be king ouer Israel
for euer: for note of Iuda he chose the princes: moreouer of the
house of Iuda, my fathers house: and of the sonnes of my father,
it pleased him to choose me king ouer al Israel.
5 Yea
and of my sonnes (for our Lord hath geuen me manie sonnes)
he hath chosen Salomon my sonne, to sitte in the throne of
the kingdome of our Lord ouer Israel,
6 and he sayd to me:
Salomon thy sonne shal build my house, and my courtes: for
him haue I chosen to me for a sonne, and I wil be to him for a
father.
7 And I wil confirme his kingdome for euer, if he
shal perseuere to doe my preceptes, and my iudgementes,
-- --
Dauid.
as note at this day.
8 Now then before al the assemblie of Israel in
the hearing of our God, keepe ye, & search al the commandmentes
of our Lord God: that you may possesse the good land,
and may leaue it to your children after you for euer.
9 And
thou Salomon my sonne, know the God of thy father, and
serue him with a perfect hart, and a voluntarie minde: for our
Lord searcheth al hartes, and vnderstandeth al cogitations of
mindes. If thou seeke him, thou shalt finde: but if thou forsake
him he wil reiect thee for euer.
10 Now therfore because
our Lord hath chosen thee to build the house of the Sanctuarie,
take courage, and perfitte it.
11 And Dauid gaue to Salomon
his sonne a description of the porch, and of the temple,
and of the cellars, and of the vpper loft, and of the chambers
in the inner roomes, and of the house of the propitiation,
12 moreouer also of al the courtes, which he had thought
vpon, and of the chambers round about, for the treasures of
the house of our Lord, and for the treasures of the holie
thinges,
13 and of the diuisions of the Priestes and the Leuites,
for al the workes of the house of our Lord, and for al the
vessels of the ministerie of the temple of our Lord.
14 Gold in
weight for euerie vessel of the ministerie. A weight of siluer
also according to the diuersitie of the vessels and workes.
15 And for golden candlestickes also, and their lampes, gold
according to the measure of euerie candlesticke, and of the
lampes. In like maner also for the siluer candlestickes, and for
their lampes, according to the diuersitie of the measure, he
deliuered a weight of siluer.
16 He gaue also gold for tables of
proposition, according to the diuersitie of the tables: in like
maner also siluer for other siluer tables.
17 For flesh hookes
also, and phials, and censars of most pure gold, and for little
lions of gold, according to the qualitie of the measure he distributed
a weight, for lyon and lyon. In like maner also for
lyons of siluer he seperated a diuerse weight of siluer.
18 And
for the Altar whereupon incense is burnt, he gaue most pure
gold: that of it might be made a similitude of the chariote of
the Cherubs spredding their winges, and couering the Arke
of the couenant of our Lord.
19 Al thinges, quoth he, came
writen with the hand of our Lord vnto me: that I might
vnderstand al the workes of the paterne.
20 Dauid also sayd
to Salomon his sonne: Deale mansully, and take courage, and
doe it: feare not, and be not dismayed: for our Lord my God
-- --
Dauid.
wil be with thee, and wil not leaue thee, nor forsake thee,
til thou perfite al the worke of the ministerie of the house
of our Lord.
21 Behold the diuisions of the Priestes and the
Leuites, for euerie ministerie of the house of our Lord, assist
thee, and are readie, and as wel the princes know, as the
people, to doe al thy preceptes.
