1 Chronicles
Chapters 22:1-5
Revised Version 1885
1Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.
2And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
3And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and brass in abundance without weight;
4and cedar trees without number: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.
5And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the Lord must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
