Chapter 22

¹ Then David said, “This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for the burnt offerings of Israel.”

Preparations for Building the Temple. ² David ordered that all of the foreigners who were in the land of Israel be gathered together. He assigned them the task of serving as masons to prepare hewn stone to build the house of God. ³ David prepared quite a bit of iron for the nails to be used in the doors, the gates, and the joints. He also prepared so much bronze that it could not be measured.
