196 : Basic English : 1 Chronicles 22,23; Proverbs 24 ) 1. Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for Israel's burned offerings.
2. And David gave orders to get together all the men from strange lands who were in the land of Israel; and he put stone-cutters to work, cutting stones for building the house of God.
3. And he got together a great store of iron, for the nails for the doors and for the joins; and brass, more in weight than might be measured;
4. And cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the men of Tyre came with a great amount of cedar-trees for David.
5. And David said, Solomon my son is young and untested, and the house which is to be put up for the Lord is to be very great, a thing of wonder and glory through all countries; so I will make ready what is needed for it. So David got ready a great store of material before his death.
