9. “And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the lord sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.
10. So take this seriously. The lord has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work.”
11. Then David gave Solomon the plans for the Temple and its surroundings, including the entry room, the storerooms, the upstairs rooms, the inner rooms, and the inner sanctuary—which was the place of atonement.
12. David also gave Solomon all the plans he had in mind for the courtyards of the lord’s Temple, the outside rooms, the treasuries, and the rooms for the gifts dedicated to the lord.
