1Ch
22:3 David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of

1Ch
22:5 David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house

1Ch
22:6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build
a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel.
1Ch
22:7 David said to Solomon his son, As for me, it was in my heart to
build a house to the name of Yahweh my God.
1Ch
22:8 But the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, You have shed blood
abundantly, and have made great wars: you shall not build a house to
my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.
1Ch
22:9 Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest;
and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his
name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel
in his days:
1Ch
22:10 he shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son,
and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his
kingdom over Israel for ever.
1Ch
22:11 Now, my son, Yahweh be with you; and prosper you, and build
the house of Yahweh your God, as he has spoken concerning you.
1Ch
22:12 May Yahweh give you discretion and understanding, and put you
in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law of Yahweh your God.
1Ch
22:13 Then you shall prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and
the ordinances which Yahweh gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong,
and of good courage. Don't be afraid, neither be dismayed.
1Ch
22:14 Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of
Yahweh one hundred thousand talents of gold, and one million talents
of silver, and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in
abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and you may add to
them.
1Ch
22:15 There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and
workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in
every kind of work:
1Ch
22:16 of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is
no number. Arise and be doing, and Yahweh be with you.

22:17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon
his son, saying,
1Ch
22:18 Isn't Yahweh your God with you? Hasn't he given you rest on
every side? for he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my
hand; and the land is subdued before Yahweh, and before his people.

God; arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring
the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and the holy vessels of God, into
the house that is to be built to the name of Yahweh.

their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
1Ch
23:4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the
house of Yahweh; and six thousand were officers and judges;
1Ch
23:5 and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised
Yahweh with the instruments which I made, said

1Ch
23:6 David divided them into divisions according to the sons of
Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
1Ch
23:7 Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
1Ch
23:8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel,
three.
1Ch
23:9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three.
These were the heads of the fathers' houses
of Ladan.
1Ch
23:10 The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These
four were the sons of Shimei.
1Ch
23:11 Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and
Beriah didn't have many sons; therefore they became a fathers' house
in one reckoning.
1Ch
23:12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
1Ch
23:13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated,
that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons,
forever, to burn incense before Yahweh, to minister to him, and to
bless in his name, forever.

23:20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
1Ch
23:21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli:
Eleazar and Kish.
1Ch
23:22 Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their
brothers the sons of Kish took them to
wife.
1Ch
23:23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
1Ch
23:24 These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, even
the heads of the fathers' houses of those who were counted
individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work
for the service of the house of Yahweh, from twenty years old and
upward.
1Ch
23:25 For David said, Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to
his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever:
1Ch
23:26 and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the
tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.
1Ch
23:27 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered,
from twenty years old and upward.
1Ch
23:28 For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the
service of the house of Yahweh, in the courts, and in the chambers,
and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service
of the house of God;
1Ch
23:29 for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal
offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in
the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner of measure
and size;
1Ch
23:30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and
likewise in the evening;
1Ch
23:31 and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the Sabbaths,
on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the
ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh;
1Ch
23:32 and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, and
the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their
brothers, for the service of the house of Yahweh.

The
Composite
Bible
is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.

is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black

for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.
