1 Chronicles 22:14

Verse 14 of 19. The 22nd of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.

10He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’

11Now, my son, may the LORD be with you and prosper you, and build the house of the LORD your God, as he has spoken concerning you.

12May the LORD give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel, so that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.

13Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid and don’t be dismayed.

14Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the LORD’s house one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.

15There are also workmen with you in abundance—cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work;

16of the gold, the silver, the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may the LORD be with you.”

17David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

18“Isn’t the LORD your God with you? Hasn’t he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD and before his people.
