David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, the captains of the companies who served the king by division, the captains of thousands, the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem. 1Ch 23:21Ch 11:10-471Ch 27:1-34Jos 23:2Jos 24:1 Then David the king stood up on his feet and said, “Hear me, my brothers and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building. Isa 66:1Psa 99:51Ch 17:1-2Lam 2:11Ch 11:1-31Ch 18:7-111Ch 22:141Ch 22:2-5 But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’ 1Ch 22:81Ch 17:41Ki 5:32Ch 6:8-92Sa 7:5-13 However the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel. 1Ch 5:21Sa 16:11Sa 16:6-131Ch 17:231Ch 17:272Sa 7:8-16Gen 49:8-101Sa 26:1 Of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the LORD’s kingdom over Israel. 1Ch 23:11Ch 3:1-91Ch 22:9-101Ch 14:3-71Ch 17:141Ch 29:11Ch 29:232Ch 1:8-9 He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. 2Sa 7:13-141Ch 22:9-10Heb 3:61Ch 17:11-142Ch 1:9Heb 3:3Heb 4:5Zec 6:12-13 I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’ 1Ch 22:131Ki 8:611Ch 28:101Ki 11:41Ki 11:9-131Ki 2:2-41Ki 6:12-131Ki 9:4-5
Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the LORD’s assembly, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever. Deu 4:1Deu 5:32Ezr 9:12Isa 34:16Pro 13:22Pro 2:1-5Act 10:33Act 17:11
You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever. Jer 29:13Jas 4:8-11Mat 7:7-8Isa 55:6-7Jer 24:71Ki 8:61Pro 2:1-62Ch 15:2 Take heed now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.” 1Ch 28:61Ti 4:161Ch 22:16-19

David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the LORD’s house is finished. 1Ch 22:13Isa 41:10Jos 1:5-9Heb 13:51Co 16:13Deu 31:7-8Isa 41:13Psa 27:1-2 Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of God’s house.
