22:6 He summoned his son Solomon and charged him to build a temple for the Lord God of Israel.
22:11 “Now, my son, may the Lord be with you! May you succeed and build a temple for the Lord your God, just as he announced you would. 1 22:12 Only may the Lord give you insight and understanding when he places you in charge of Israel, so you may obey 2 the law of the Lord your God. 22:13 Then you will succeed, if you carefully obey the rules and regulations which the Lord ordered Moses to give to Israel. 3 Be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! 4 22:14 Now, look, I have made every effort to supply what is needed to build the Lord’s temple. 5 I have stored up 100,000 talents 6 of gold, 1,000,000 7 talents of silver, and so much bronze and iron it cannot be weighed, as well as wood and stones. Feel free to add more! 22:15 You also have available many workers, including stonecutters, masons, carpenters, 8 and an innumerable array of workers who are skilled 22:16 in using gold, silver, bronze, and iron. 9 Get up and begin the work! May the Lord be with you!”
