To the place of the name of the Lord of hosts,
To Mount Zion.

Ezra 7:13-28
New King James Version
13 I issue a decree that all those of the people of Israel and the priests and Levites in my realm, who volunteer to go up to Jerusalem, may go with you. 14 And whereas you are being sent [a]by the king and his (A)seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, with regard to the Law of your God which is in your hand; 15 and whereas you are to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, (B)whose dwelling is in Jerusalem; 16 (C)and whereas all the silver and gold that you may find in all the province of Babylon, along with the freewill offering of the people and the priests, are to be (D)freely offered for the [b]house of their God in Jerusalem— 17 now therefore, be careful to buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs, with their (E)grain offerings and their drink offerings, and (F)offer them on the altar of the house of your God in Jerusalem.
18 And whatever seems good to you and your brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do it according to the will of your God. 19 Also the articles that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver in full before the God of Jerusalem. 20 And whatever more may be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to provide, pay for it from the king’s treasury.
21 And I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, issue a decree to all the treasurers who are in the region beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, may require of you, let it be done diligently, 22 up to one hundred talents of silver, one hundred kors of wheat, one hundred baths of wine, one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribed limit. 23 Whatever [c]is commanded by the God of heaven, let it diligently be done for the [d]house of the God of heaven. For why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
24 Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tax, tribute, or custom on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God. 25 And you, Ezra, according to your God-given wisdom, (G)set magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are in the region beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and (H)teach those who do not know them. 26 Whoever will not observe the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily on him, whether it be death, or [e]banishment, or confiscation of goods, or imprisonment.
27 (I)Blessed[f] be the Lord God of our fathers, (J)who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, 28 and (K)has extended mercy to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes.
So I was encouraged, as (L)the hand of the Lord my God was upon me; and I gathered leading men of Israel to go up with me.

10 Consider now, (A)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 (B)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 (C)plans for all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, of all the chambers all around, (D)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 (E)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 (F)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 (G)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 (H)altar of incense, and for the construction of the chariot, that is, the gold (I)cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 19 “All this,” said David, (J)“the Lord made me understand in writing, by His hand upon me, all the [a]works of these plans.”
20 And David said to his son Solomon, (K)“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. (L)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 (M)the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and (N)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.”

His name shall be [a]Solomon, for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days. 10 (F)He shall build a house for My name, and (G)he shall be My son, and I will be his Father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’ 11 Now, my son, may (H)the Lord be with you; and may you prosper, and build the house of the Lord your God, as He has said to you.

4 “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You shall (A)not build Me a house to dwell in. 5 For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. 6 Wherever I have moved about with all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’ ” ’ 7 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “I took you (B)from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be [a]ruler over My people Israel. 8 And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have [b]made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth. 9 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will (C)plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, 10 since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the Lord will build you a [c]house. 11 And it shall be, when your days are (D)fulfilled, when you must [d]go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your (E)seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. 12 (F)He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
