15 You have many kinds of workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and men skilled in every kind of work.
16 The gold, silver, bronze, and iron are more than can be counted. So get to work! May the Lord be with you.”
17 David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon.
18 ⌊David said,⌋ “Isn’t the Lord your God with you? Hasn’t he given you peace with all your neighbors? He put the people who live in this country under my power, and the country has been conquered by the Lord and his people.
19 So dedicate your hearts and lives to serving the Lord your God. Start building the holy place of the Lord God so that you can bring the ark of the Lord’s promise and God’s holy utensils into the temple that will be built for the Lord’s name.”
