Preparation to Build Yahweh’s House

[5] And David said, "My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh shall be highly exalted, for a name and beauty throughout all lands. [Therefore] now I will make preparation for it." So David made ample preparations before his death. [1Ch 22:5 LSB]

Solomon to Build Yahweh’s House

[10] 'He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be a son to Me and I will be a father to him; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.' [1Ch 22:10 LSB]

[7] There will be no end to the increase of [His] government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will accomplish this. [Isa 9:7 LSB]

The Sons of Gershon

The Sons of Kohath

[13] The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was separated in order to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, to offer [offerings] up in smoke before Yahweh, to minister to Him and to bless in His name forever. [14] But [as for] Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi. [1Ch 23:13-14 LSB]

The Sons of Merari

The Service of the Levites

[25] For David said, "Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem forever. [1Ch 23:25 LSB]

[1] Now it happened when the king inhabited his house, and Yahweh had given him rest on every side from all his enemies, [2Sa 7:1 LSB]

[5] Thus they were divided by lot, the one as the other; for they were leaders for the sanctuary and leaders for God, both from the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar. [1Ch 24:5 LSB]
