| “Go, tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says: “I am offering you three forms of judgment from which to choose. Pick one of them.”’” 1 |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 21:12 |
| three 1 years of famine, or three months being chased by your enemies and struck down by their swords, 2 or three days being struck down by the Lord, during which a plague will invade the land and the Lord’s messenger will destroy throughout Israel’s territory.’ 3 Now, decide what I should tell the one who sent me.” |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 21:15 |
| God sent an angel 1 to ravage 2 Jerusalem. As he was doing so, 3 the Lord watched 4 and relented from 5 his judgment. 6 He told the angel who was destroying, “That’s enough! 7 Stop now!” 8 Now the Lord’s angel was standing near the threshing floor of Ornan 9 the Jebusite. |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 21:19 |
| So David went up as Gad instructed him to do in the name of the Lord. 1 |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 21:24 |
| King David replied to Ornan, “No, I insist on buying it for top price. 1 I will not offer to the Lord what belongs to you or offer a burnt sacrifice 2 that cost me nothing. 3 |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 21:29 |
| Now the Lord’s tabernacle (which Moses had made in the wilderness) and the altar for burnt sacrifices were at that time at the worship center 1 in Gibeon. |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 22:1 |
| David then said, “This is the place where the temple of the Lord God will be, along with the altar for burnt sacrifices for Israel.” |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 22:2 |
| David ordered the resident foreigners in the land of Israel to be called together. He appointed some of them to be stonecutters to chisel stones for the building of God’s temple. |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 22:5 |
| David said, “My son Solomon is just an inexperienced young man, 1 and the temple to be built for the Lord must be especially magnificent so it will become famous and be considered splendid by all the nations. 2 Therefore I will make preparations for its construction.” So David made extensive preparations before he died. |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 22:7 |
| David said to Solomon: “My son, I really wanted 1 to build a temple to honor 2 the Lord my God. |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 22:8 |
| But the Lord said to me: 1 ‘You have spilled a great deal of blood and fought many battles. You must not build a temple to honor me, 2 for you have spilled a great deal of blood on the ground before me. |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 22:14 |
| Now, look, I have made every effort to supply what is needed to build the Lord’s temple. 1 I have stored up 100,000 talents 2 of gold, 1,000,000 3 talents of silver, and so much bronze and iron it cannot be weighed, as well as wood and stones. Feel free to add more! |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 22:15 |
| You also have available many workers, including stonecutters, masons, carpenters, 1 and an innumerable array of workers who are skilled |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 22:16 |
| in using gold, silver, bronze, and iron. 1 Get up and begin the work! May the Lord be with you!” |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 22:19 |
| Now seek the Lord your God wholeheartedly and with your entire being! 1 Get up and build the sanctuary of the Lord God! Then you can bring 2 the ark of the Lord’s covenant and the holy items dedicated to God’s service 3 into the temple that is built to honor the Lord.” 4 |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 23:4 |
| David said, 1 “Of these, 24,000 are to direct the work of the Lord’s temple; 6,000 are to be officials and judges; |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 23:5 |
| 4,000 are to be gatekeepers; and 4,000 are to praise the Lord with the instruments I supplied for worship.” 1 |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 23:13 |
| The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were chosen on a permanent basis to consecrate the most holy items, to offer sacrifices before the Lord, to serve him, and to praise his name. 1 |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 23:24 |
| These were the descendants of Levi according to their families, that is, the leaders of families as counted and individually listed who carried out assigned tasks in the Lord’s temple and were twenty years old and up. 1 |
| (1.00) | 1Ch 23:26 |
| So the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the items used in its service.” |
