15. You also have innumerable people to do the work: stonecutters, masons, and carpenters with every skill required for any task,

17. Then David ordered all of Israel’s leaders to help his son Solomon:

19. Now then, dedicate yourselves to seeking the Lord your God. Get to work and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, so that the chest containing the Lord’s covenant together with God’s holy equipment may be brought into the temple built for the Lord’s name."
