1 Chronicles 22

1Then David said, This the house of the LORD God, and this the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

2And David commanded to gather together the strangers that in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

3And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;

4Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

5And David said, Solomon my son young and tender, and the house to be builded for the LORD exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
