 I Chronicles 28

David Gives Solomon the Design of the Temple

11 And David gave to Solomon his son the design of the porch with its houses, its treasuries, its upper rooms, its inner chambers, and the place for the mercy seat.

12 And the design of all that he had in his heart, namely, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the holy things;

13 And of the divisions of the priests, and of the Levites, and of all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and of all the vessels of the service of the house of the LORD.

14 And he gave the gold by weight for all the vessels of every service: and the silver by weight for all the vessels of silver, for all the vessels of every manner of service: 

15 And the weight for the golden candlesticks, and their golden lamps, according to the weight of each candlestick and its lamps; and for the silver candlesticks, according to the weight of the candlestick and its lamps, according to the use of each candlestick.

16 And he gave the gold by weight for the tables of shewbread, for each table; and the silver for the silver tables.

17 And the pure gold for the forks, and for the basins, and for the bowls, and for the golden bowls, by weight for each bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for each bowl.

18 And for the altar of incense, purified gold by weight; and the gold for the pattern of the chariot, even the cherubim that were to spread out their wings, and to cover the ark of the covenant of the LORD. 

19 “All this,” said David, “they have made known to me in writing by the word of the Lord, even all the work of this plan.” 

20 Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord God, my God, will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord. 

21 And behold, here are the divisions of the priests and Levites for all the service of the house of God. They are also with you for all the work, volunteers with wisdom of all kinds for all the service, as are all the princes and all the people for all your commandments.
