Now David H1732 assembled H6950 at Jerusalem H3389 all H3605 the officials H8269 of Israel H3478, the leaders H8269 of the tribes H7626, and the commanders H8269 of the divisions H4256 that served H8334 the king H4428, the commanders H8269 of thousands H505, and the commanders H8269 of hundreds H3967, and the overseers H8269 of all H3605 the property H7399 and livestock H4735 belonging to the king H4428 and his sons H1121, with the officials H5631 and the mighty H1368 men H1368, all H3605 the valiant H2428 warriors H1368.
“As for you, my son H1121 Solomon H8010, know H3045 the God H430 of your father H1, and serve H5647 Him wholeheartedly H8003 H3820 and with a willing H2655 [fn]mind H5315; for the LORD H3068 searches H1875 all H3605 hearts H3824, and understands H995 every H3605 intent H3336 of the thoughts H4284. If H518 you seek H1875 Him, He will let you find H4672 Him; but if H518 you forsake H5800 Him, He will reject H2186 you forever H5703.
Then David H1732 said H559 to his son H1121 Solomon H8010, “Be strong H2388 and courageous H553, and act H6213; do not fear H3372 nor H408 be dismayed H2865, for the LORD H3068 God H430, my God H430, is with you. He will not fail H7503 you nor H3808 forsake H5800 you until H5704 all H3605 the work H4399 for the service H5656 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 is finished H3615.
