Preparing Abundantly

Name Date

Read and Think

After God answered by fire, David declared that this was the house of Yahweh God and the altar of burnt offering for Israel. He gathered the foreigners in the land to cut stones. He prepared iron for nails, bronze without weight, and more cedar than could be counted.

David reasoned that Solomon was young and tender, and the house must be exceedingly magnificent. So he prepared abundantly before his death. He told Solomon that he had wanted to build, but God said he had shed much blood. God had promised a son who would be a man of peace, named Solomon.

David charged Solomon to keep the law of Yahweh. Then he would prosper, if he took heed to do what Moses was commanded. He told him to be strong and courageous, and not to be afraid. He commanded the princes to help Solomon, to set their heart and soul to seek Yahweh, and to arise and build.

1 Chronicles 22 · Grade 5

Building for the Next Generation

Name Date

Read and Think

Chapter 22 begins a long section in which David prepares for the temple. He named Ornan's threshing floor as the house of Yahweh and the altar of burnt offering. He organized stone cutters and gathered iron, bronze, and cedar in abundance, for the Sidonians and Tyrians brought much cedar wood to David.

David explained to Solomon why he could not build. God had told him that he had shed much blood and made great wars. But God promised a son who would be a man of rest, and his name, Solomon, sounds like the Hebrew word for peace. God would give peace and quietness to Israel in his days, and that son would build the house.

David's charge to Solomon mirrors Moses' charge to Joshua: be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid or dismayed. In his affliction, David had stored up enormous treasure, and Solomon could add to it. David told the princes that God had given them rest on every side. Now they must set their heart and soul to seek Yahweh and build the sanctuary for the ark.
