New American Standard Bible
David’s Address about the Temple
28 Now (A)David assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the leaders of the tribes, and the commanders of the divisions that served the king, the commanders of thousands, and the commanders of hundreds, and the overseers of all the property and livestock belonging to the king and his sons, with the officials and (B)the mighty men, all the valiant warriors. 2 Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people; [a]I (C)had intended to build a [b]permanent home for the ark of the covenant of the Lord and for (D)the footstool of our God. So I had made preparations to build it. 3 But God said to me, ‘(E)You shall not build a house for My name, because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’ 4 Yet, the Lord, the God of Israel, (F)chose me from all the household of my father to be king over Israel (G)forever. For (H)He has chosen Judah to be a leader; and (I)in the house of Judah, my father’s house, and among the sons of my father He took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel. 5 (J)Of all my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons), (K)He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. 6 He said to me, ‘Your son (L)Solomon is the one who shall build My house and My courtyards; for I have chosen him to be a son to Me, and I will be a Father to him. 7 I will establish his kingdom forever (M)if he resolutely performs My commandments and My ordinances, as [c]is done now.’ 8 So now, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the Lord, and in the [d]presence of our God, keep and seek after all the commandments of the Lord your God so that you may possess the good land and leave it as an inheritance to your sons after you forever.
9 “As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and (N)serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing [e]mind; (O)for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. (P)If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever. 10 Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; (Q)be courageous and act.”
11 Then David gave to his son Solomon (R)the plan of (S)the porch of the temple, its buildings, its storehouses, its upper rooms, its inner rooms, and (T)the room for the [f]atoning cover; 12 and the plan of all that he had in [g]mind, for the courtyards of the house of the Lord, and for all the surrounding rooms, for (U)the storehouses of the house of God and for the storehouses of the dedicated things; 13 also for (V)the divisions of the priests and (W)the Levites and for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord and for all the utensils of service in the house of the Lord; 14 for the golden utensils, by weight of gold for all utensils for every service; for all the silver utensils, by weight of silver for all utensils for every service; 15 and the weight of gold for the (X)golden lampstands and their golden lamps, with the weight of each lampstand and its lamps; and the weight of silver for the silver lampstands, with the weight of each lampstand and its lamps according to the use of each lampstand; 16 and the gold by weight for the tables of the showbread, for each table; and silver for the silver tables; 17 and the forks, the basins, and the pitchers of pure gold; and for the golden bowls with the weight for each bowl; and for the silver bowls with the weight for each bowl; 18 and for (Y)the altar of incense, refined gold by weight; and gold for the model of the chariot, and (Z)the cherubim that spread out their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
19 “All this,” said David, “the Lord made me understand in writing by His hand upon me, (AA)all the [h]details of this pattern.”
20 Then David said to his son Solomon, “(AB)Be strong and courageous, and act; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. (AC)He will not fail you nor forsake you until all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished. 21 Now behold, (AD)there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God, and (AE)every willing man of any skill will be with you in all the work for all kinds of service. The officials also and all the people will be entirely at your command.”

Biblia del Jubileo
28 Y juntó David en Jerusalén a todos los príncipes de Israel, los príncipes de las tribus, y los príncipes de las cuadrillas, que servían al rey; y los príncipes de mil y de cien, con los príncipes de toda la hacienda y posesión de David, y sus hijos, con los eunucos, los poderosos, y todos los hombres valientes.
2 Y levantándose el rey David, puesto en pie dijo: Oídme, hermanos míos, y pueblo mío. Yo tenía en mi corazón edificar una Casa, para que en ella reposara el arca del pacto del SEÑOR, y para el estrado de los pies de nuestro Dios; y había ya aparejado todo para edificar.
3 Mas Dios me dijo: Tú no edificarás Casa a mi nombre; porque eres hombre de guerra, y has derramado sangre.
4 Pero el SEÑOR el Dios de Israel me eligió de toda la casa de mi padre, para que perpetuamente fuera rey sobre Israel; porque de Judá escogió el capitán; y de la casa de Judá la casa de mi padre; y de entre los hijos de mi padre en mí tomó contentamiento para ponerme por rey sobre todo Israel;
5 y de todos mis hijos (porque el SEÑOR me ha dado muchos hijos,) eligió a mi hijo Salomón para que él se siente en el trono del reino del SEÑOR sobre Israel.
6 Y me dijo: Salomón tu hijo, él edificará mi Casa y mis atrios; porque a éste me he escogido por hijo, y yo le seré a él por padre.
7 Y yo confirmaré su reino para siempre, si él fuere esforzado para cumplir mis mandamientos y mis juicios, como en este día.
8 Ahora pues, delante de los ojos de todo Israel, congregación del SEÑOR, y en oídos de nuestro Dios, guardad y buscad todos los mandamientos del SEÑOR vuestro Dios, para que poseáis la buena tierra, y la dejéis por heredad a vuestros hijos después de vosotros perpetuamente.
9 Y tú, Salomón, hijo mío, conoce al Dios de tu padre, y sírvele de corazón perfecto, y de ánimo voluntario; porque el SEÑOR escudriña los corazones de todos, y entiende toda imaginación de los pensamientos. Si tú le buscares, lo hallarás; mas si le dejares, él te desechará para siempre.
10 Mira, pues, ahora que el SEÑOR te ha elegido para que edifiques casa para santuario; esfuérzate, y hazla.
11 ¶ Y David dio a Salomón su hijo la traza del pórtico, y de sus casas, y de sus despensas, y de sus salas, y de sus recámaras de adentro, y del lugar del asiento de la reconciliación.
12 Asimismo la traza de todas las cosas que había recibido por el Espíritu, para los atrios de la Casa del SEÑOR, y para todas las cámaras en derredor, para los tesoros de la Casa de Dios, y para los tesoros de las cosas santificadas;
13 también para los órdenes de los sacerdotes y de los levitas, y para toda la obra del ministerio de la Casa del SEÑOR, y para todos los vasos del ministerio de la Casa del SEÑOR.
14 Y dio oro por peso para lo de oro, para todos los vasos de cada servicio; y plata por peso para todos los vasos, para todos los vasos de cada servicio.
15 Oro por peso para los candeleros de oro, y para sus lámparas; por peso el oro para cada candelero y sus lámparas; y para los candeleros de plata, plata por peso para el candelero y sus lámparas, conforme al servicio de cada candelero.
16 Asimismo dio oro por peso para las mesas de la proposición, para cada mesa; del mismo modo plata para las mesas de plata.
17 También oro puro para los garfios, para las bacines, para los incensarios, y para los tazones de oro, para cada tazón por peso; asimismo para los tazones de plata, por peso para cada tazón.
18 Además, oro puro por peso para el altar del incienso; asimismo para la semejanza del carro de los querubines de oro, que con las alas extendidas cubrían el arca del pacto del SEÑOR.
19 Todas estas cosas por escrito de la mano del SEÑOR que fue sobre mí, dijo David, y me hizo entender todas las obras del diseño.
20 Dijo más David a Salomón su hijo: Anímate y esfuérzate, y ponlo por obra; no temas, ni desmayes, porque el SEÑOR Dios, mi Dios, será contigo; él no te dejará, ni te desamparará, hasta que acabes toda la obra del servicio de la casa del SEÑOR.
21 He aquí los órdenes de los sacerdotes y de los levitas, en todo el ministerio de la Casa de Dios, serán contigo en toda la obra; todos voluntarios, con sabiduría en todo ministerio; asimismo los príncipes y todo el pueblo para ejecutar todas tus órdenes.

New King James Version
Solomon Instructed to Build the Temple
28 Now David assembled at Jerusalem all (A)the leaders of Israel: the officers of the tribes and (B)the captains of the divisions who served the king, the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds, and (C)the stewards over all the substance and [a]possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officials, the valiant men, and all (D)the mighty men of valor.
2 Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Hear me, my brethren and my people: (E)I had it in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for (F)the footstool of our God, and had made preparations to build it. 3 But God said to me, (G)‘You shall not build a house for My name, because you have been a man of war and have shed (H)blood.’ 4 However the Lord God of Israel (I)chose me above all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever, for He has chosen (J)Judah to be the ruler. And of the house of Judah, (K)the house of my father, and (L)among the sons of my father, He was pleased with me to make me king over all Israel. 5 (M)And of all my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons) (N)He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. 6 Now He said to me, ‘It is (O)your son Solomon who shall build My house and My courts; for I have chosen him to be My son, and I will be his Father. 7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever, (P)if he is steadfast to observe My commandments and My judgments, as it is this day.’ 8 Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, be careful to seek out all the commandments of the Lord your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it as an inheritance for your children after you forever.
9 “As for you, my son Solomon, (Q)know the God of your father, and serve Him (R)with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for (S)the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. (T)If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will (U)cast you off forever. 10 Consider now, (V)for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.”
11 Then David gave his son Solomon (W)the plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat; 12 and the (X)plans for all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, of all the chambers all around, (Y)of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries for the dedicated things; 13 also for the division of the priests and the (Z)Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and for all the articles of service in the house of the Lord. 14 He gave gold by weight for things of gold, for all articles used in every kind of service; also silver for all articles of silver by weight, for all articles used in every kind of service; 15 the weight for the (AA)lampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight for each lampstand and its lamps; for the lampstands of silver by weight, for the lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand. 16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of the showbread, for each (AB)table, and silver for the tables of silver; 17 also pure gold for the forks, the basins, the pitchers of pure gold, and the golden bowls—he gave gold by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls, silver by weight for every bowl; 18 and refined gold by weight for the (AC)altar of incense, and for the construction of the chariot, that is, the gold (AD)cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 19 “All this,” said David, (AE)“the Lord made me understand in writing, by His hand upon me, all the [b]works of these plans.”
20 And David said to his son Solomon, (AF)“Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God—my God—will be with you. (AG)He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord. 21 Here are (AH)the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and (AI)every willing craftsman will be with you for all manner of workmanship, for every kind of service; also the leaders and all the people will be completely at your command.”
