1 Then David said, “This is the place where the House of Adonai Elohim will be, along with the altar for burnt sacrifices for Israel.”
2 David gave orders to assemble the foreigners in the land of Israel, and assigned them to be masons to quarry stones to build the House of God.
3 David supplied an abundance of iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for the joints, so much bronze that it could not be weighed,
4 and cedar logs without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought an abundance of cedar logs to David.
