10. The Lord has chosen you to build a temple for worshipping him. Be confident and do the work you have been assigned.
11. After David finished speaking, he gave Solomon the plans for building the main rooms of the temple, including the porch, the storerooms, the rooms upstairs and downstairs, as well as the most holy place.
12. He gave Solomon his plans for the courtyards and the open areas around the temple, and for the rooms to store the temple treasures and gifts that had been dedicated to God.
13. David also gave Solomon his plans for dividing the priests and the Levites into groups, as well as for the work that needed to be done at the temple and for taking care of the objects used for worship.
14. He told Solomon how much gold and silver was to be used in making the sacred objects,
15. including the lampstands and lamps,
16. the gold table which held the sacred loaves of bread, the tables made of silver,
17. the meat forks, the bowls and cups,
18. the gold incense altar, and the gold statue of a chariot for the winged creatures which were on the lid of the sacred chest.
19. David then said to Solomon:The Lord showed me how his temple is to be built.
20. But you must see that everything is done according to these plans. Be confident, and never be afraid of anything or get discouraged. The Lord my God will help you do everything needed to finish the temple, so it can be used for worshipping him.
