15. Moreover, you have available workers, stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and experts in every craft,
16. without number, skilled with gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Set to work, therefore, and the Lord be with you!”
17. David also commanded all of the officials of Israel to help his son Solomon:
18. “Is not the Lord your God with you? Has he not given you rest on every side? Indeed, he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my power, and the land is subdued before the Lord and his people.
19. Therefore, devote your hearts and souls to seeking the Lord your God. Proceed to build the sanctuary of the Lord God, that the ark of the covenant of the Lord and God’s sacred vessels may be brought into the house built for the name of the Lord.”
