WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.100 Chapter 28. 00:30.000 --> 00:35.760 My brethren and my people, as for me, I had in my heart to build a house of rest 00:35.760 --> 00:39.740 for the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God, 00:40.180 --> 00:41.600 and had made ready for the building. 00:42.820 --> 00:47.500 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou hast 00:47.500 --> 00:49.480 been a man of war, and hast shed blood. 00:50.780 --> 00:55.040 Howbeit the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be 00:55.040 --> 00:56.360 king over Israel for ever. 00:57.280 --> 01:02.000 For he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler, and of the house of Judah, the house of my 01:02.000 --> 01:06.720 father, and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel. 01:07.940 --> 01:14.120 And of all my sons, for the Lord hath given me many sons, he hath chosen Solomon 01:14.120 --> 01:17.840 my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. 01:18.460 --> 01:24.820 And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts, 01:25.160 --> 01:28.840 for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. 01:29.900 --> 01:34.100 Moreover, I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my 01:34.100 --> 01:36.880 commandments and my judgments as at this day. 01:37.940 --> 01:43.180 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the Lord, and in the 01:43.180 --> 01:48.520 audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God, 01:48.960 --> 01:53.960 that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your 01:53.960 --> 01:55.900 children after you for ever. 01:57.200 --> 02:04.640 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a 02:04.640 --> 02:06.620 perfect heart and with a willing mind. 02:07.660 --> 02:12.400 For the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of 02:12.400 --> 02:12.900 the thoughts. 02:14.080 --> 02:18.900 If thou seek him, he will be found of thee, but if thou forsake him, 02:19.440 --> 02:21.300 he will cast thee off for ever. 02:22.080 --> 02:27.680 Take heed now, for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary. 02:28.320 --> 02:30.540 Be strong, and do it. 02:31.140 --> 02:35.520 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses 02:35.520 --> 02:39.660 thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, 02:39.820 --> 02:43.260 and of the inner parlors thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat, 02:43.600 --> 02:48.440 and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the 02:48.440 --> 02:53.100 Lord, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, 02:53.400 --> 02:55.520 and of the treasuries of the dedicated things. 02:56.500 --> 03:00.580 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the 03:00.580 --> 03:04.280 service of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of service in the 03:04.280 --> 03:04.980 house of the Lord. 03:05.640 --> 03:11.240 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of 03:11.240 --> 03:11.700 service. 03:12.700 --> 03:17.800 Silver also, for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every 03:17.800 --> 03:18.720 kind of service. 03:19.700 --> 03:23.820 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, 03:24.200 --> 03:27.520 by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof. 03:28.180 --> 03:32.160 And for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, 03:32.480 --> 03:36.280 and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick. 03:37.300 --> 03:41.560 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of showbread, for every table. 03:42.180 --> 03:44.540 And likewise silver for the tables of silver. 03:45.720 --> 03:49.460 Also pure gold for the flesh hooks, and the bowls, and the cups. 03:50.560 --> 03:54.520 And for the golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin. 03:54.520 --> 03:58.480 And likewise silver by weight for every basin of silver. 03:59.400 --> 04:02.760 And for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight. 04:03.440 --> 04:07.720 And gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their 04:07.720 --> 04:10.620 wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 04:11.040 --> 04:16.820 All this, said David, the Lord made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, 04:17.300 --> 04:19.080 even all the works of this pattern. 04:19.080 --> 04:23.320 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, 04:23.420 --> 04:24.080 and do it. 04:24.980 --> 04:31.100 Fear not, nor be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee. 04:31.880 --> 04:36.640 He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for 04:36.640 --> 04:38.160 the service of the house of the Lord. 04:39.300 --> 04:44.740 And behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee 04:44.740 --> 04:46.560 for all the service of the house of God. 04:47.080 --> 04:50.800 And there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing, 04:51.040 --> 04:53.680 skillful man, for any manner of service. 04:54.460 --> 04:58.220 Also the princes and all the people will be holy at thy commandment.
