Hello and welcome
to His Words are Life.
00:00:15.47\00:00:17.33
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and we're
going to continue reading today
00:00:17.36\00:00:20.46
in the book of 1st Chronicles,
and the stories of the reign
00:00:20.49\00:00:23.77
of King David and on to King
Solomon. Before we start, let's
00:00:23.80\00:00:27.15
pray together. Dear Lord, thank
you again for a time apart to
00:00:27.18\00:00:33.26
sit with your word, to receive
it for correction and reproof
00:00:33.29\00:00:38.47
and doctrine and
instruction in righteousness.
00:00:38.50\00:00:40.70
Please send your Holy Spirit to
teach us what you have for each
00:00:40.73\00:00:45.55
one of us out of the words we'll
hear today. We love you so much
00:00:45.58\00:00:48.87
and thank you
for loving us. Amen.
00:00:48.90\00:00:50.89
We left off in 1st Chronicles,
chapter 23, we're going to pick
00:00:50.92\00:00:56.67
up with verse 29. And we're
reading about the duties of the
00:00:56.70\00:01:00.79
Levites. Both for
the shewbread, and
00:01:00.82\00:01:04.38
for the fine flour for meat
offering, and for the unleavened
00:01:04.41\00:01:07.48
cakes, and for that which is
baked in the pan, and for that
00:01:07.51\00:01:08.82
which is baked in the pan, and
for that which is fried, and for
00:01:08.85\00:01:11.90
all manner of measure and
size; and to stand every morning
00:01:11.93\00:01:15.98
to thank and praise the
Lord, and likewise at even;
00:01:16.01\00:01:19.57
And to offer all burnt
sacrifices unto the Lord,
00:01:19.60\00:01:23.40
in the Sabbaths, in the new
moons, and on the set feasts,
00:01:23.43\00:01:26.88
by number, according to
the order commanded unto them,
00:01:26.91\00:01:29.96
continually before the Lord:
And that they should keep the
00:01:29.99\00:01:34.71
charge of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the charge of
00:01:34.74\00:01:38.31
the holy place, and the charge
the sons of Aaron their brethren
00:01:38.34\00:01:42.22
in the service of
the house of the Lord.
00:01:42.25\00:01:44.77
In the chapters that are coming
here, 24, 25, so on, there's a
00:01:44.80\00:01:51.05
lot of genealogy; so we're going
to skip ahead to chapter 28.
00:01:51.08\00:01:56.01
1st Chronicles, chapter
28, beginning with verse 1.
00:01:56.04\00:02:01.36
And this is the
King James Version.
00:02:01.39\00:02:02.92
And David assembled all the
princes of Israel, the princes
00:02:02.95\00:02:07.23
of the tribes, and the captains
of the companies that ministered
00:02:07.26\00:02:10.51
to the king by course, and
the captains over the thousands,
00:02:10.54\00:02:13.11
and the captions over the
hundreds, and the stewards
00:02:13.14\00:02:15.95
over all the substance
and possession of the king,
00:02:15.98\00:02:18.58
and of his sons, with the
officers, and with the mighty
00:02:18.61\00:02:21.72
men, and with all the
valiant men, unto Jerusalem.
00:02:21.75\00:02:25.12
Then David the king stood
up upon his feet, and said,
00:02:25.15\00:02:29.11
Hear me, my brethren, and my
people: As for me, I had in mine
00:02:29.14\00:02:34.04
heart to build an house of
rest for the ark of the covenant
00:02:34.07\00:02:36.85
of the Lord, and for the foot
stool of our God, and had made
00:02:36.88\00:02:40.14
ready for the building: But
God said unto me, Thou shalt not
00:02:40.17\00:02:44.98
build an house for my name,
because thou hast been a man of
00:02:45.01\00:02:47.62
war, and hast shed blood.
Howbeit the Lord God of Israel
00:02:47.65\00:02:52.47
chose me before all the house of
my father to be king over Israel
00:02:52.50\00:02:56.26
for ever: for he hath
chosen Judah to be the ruler;
00:02:56.29\00:02:59.64
and of the house of Judah, the
house of my father; and among
00:02:59.67\00:03:03.50
the sons of my father he liked
me to make me king over all
00:03:03.53\00:03:08.07
Israel: And of my all sons, for
the Lord hath given me many sons
00:03:08.10\00:03:14.31
he hath chosen Solomon my son
to sit upon the throne of the
00:03:14.34\00:03:18.40
kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
And he said unto me, Solomon
00:03:18.43\00:03:22.52
thy son, he shall build my house
and my courts: for I have chosen
00:03:22.55\00:03:27.37
him to be my son, and I will
be his father. Moreover I will
00:03:27.40\00:03:31.24
establish his kingdom for
ever, if he be constant to do my
00:03:31.27\00:03:35.52
commandments and my judgments,
as at this day. Now therefore
00:03:35.55\00:03:40.58
in the sight of all Israel
the congregation of the Lord,
00:03:40.61\00:03:43.23
and in the audience of our
God, keep and seek for all the
00:03:43.26\00:03:47.87
commandments of the Lord your
God: that ye may possess this
00:03:47.90\00:03:51.31
good land, and leave it for
an inheritance for your children
00:03:51.34\00:03:54.42
after you for ever. And thou,
Solomon my son, know thou the
00:03:54.45\00:04:01.22
God of thy father, and serve him
with a perfect heart and with a
00:04:01.25\00:04:04.67
willing mind: for the
Lord searcheth all hearts,
00:04:04.70\00:04:08.06
and understandeth all the
imaginations of the thoughts:
00:04:08.09\00:04:11.43
If thou seek him, he will
be found of thee; but if thou
00:04:11.46\00:04:17.31
forsake him, he will cast thee
off for ever. Take heed now;
00:04:17.34\00:04:22.02
for the Lord hath chosen
thee to build an house for the
00:04:22.05\00:04:24.94
sanctuary: be strong, and do
it. Then David gave to Solomon
00:04:24.97\00:04:30.88
his son the pattern of the
porch and of the houses thereof,
00:04:30.91\00:04:34.03
and of the treasuries thereof,
and of the upper chambers
00:04:34.06\00:04:36.50
thereof, and of the inner
parlors thereof, and of the
00:04:36.53\00:04:39.46
place of the mercy seat, and
the pattern of all that he had
00:04:39.49\00:04:43.10
by the spirit, of the
courts of the house of the Lord,
00:04:43.13\00:04:45.63
and of all the chambers round
about, of the treasuries of the
00:04:45.66\00:04:49.48
house of God, and of the
treasuries of the dedicated
00:04:49.51\00:04:52.32
things: Also for the courses
of the priests and the Levites,
00:04:52.35\00:04:56.43
and for all the work of
the service of the house of the
00:04:56.46\00:04:59.64
Lord, and for all the vessels of
service in the house of the Lord
00:04:59.67\00:05:03.08
He gave of gold by
weight for things of gold,
00:05:03.11\00:05:06.59
for all instruments
for all manner of service;
00:05:06.62\00:05:09.44
silver also for all
instruments of silver by weight,
00:05:09.47\00:05:12.78
for all instruments
of every kind of service:
00:05:12.81\00:05:14.99
Even the weight for the candle
sticks of gold, and for their
00:05:15.02\00:05:18.47
lamps of gold, by
weight for every candlestick,
00:05:18.50\00:05:21.42
and for the lamps thereof,
and for the candlesticks of
00:05:21.45\00:05:24.42
silver by weight, both for the
candlestick, and also for the
00:05:24.45\00:05:27.54
lamps thereof: according to
the use of every candlestick.
00:05:27.57\00:05:30.22
And by weight he gave gold
for the tables of shewbread,
00:05:30.25\00:05:34.04
for every table; and likewise
silver for the tables of silver:
00:05:34.07\00:05:38.19
Also pure gold for the
flesh hooks, and the bowls,
00:05:38.22\00:05:41.96
and the cups: and for the golden
basins he gave gold by weight
00:05:41.99\00:05:45.59
for every basin; and likewise
silver by weight for every basin
00:05:45.62\00:05:49.10
of silver: And for the altar of
incense refined gold by weight;
00:05:49.13\00:05:54.51
and gold for the pattern of
the chariot of the cherubims,
00:05:54.54\00:05:57.63
that spread out their wings,
and covered the ark of the
00:05:57.66\00:06:00.60
covenant of the Lord. All this,
said David, the Lord made me
00:06:00.63\00:06:05.22
understand in writing by his
hand upon me, even all the works
00:06:05.25\00:06:09.48
of this pattern. And David said
to Solomon his son, Be strong
00:06:09.51\00:06:14.31
and of good courage, and do
it: fear not, nor be dismayed:
00:06:14.34\00:06:19.39
for the Lord God, even
my God, will be with thee;
00:06:19.42\00:06:23.05
He will not fail thee, nor
forsake thee, until thou hast
00:06:23.08\00:06:27.64
finished all the work for the
service of the house of the Lord
00:06:27.67\00:06:31.01
and, behold, the courses of
the priests and the Levites,
00:06:31.04\00:06:34.49
even they shall be with thee for
all the service of the house of
00:06:34.52\00:06:38.08
God: and there shall be
with thee for all manner of
00:06:38.11\00:06:40.91
workmanship every willing
skilful man, for any manner
00:06:40.94\00:06:45.40
of service: also the princes and
all the people will be wholly
00:06:45.43\00:06:50.39
at they
commandment. We're continuing in
00:06:50.42\00:06:53.86
1st Chronicles, chapter 29, and
this is the King James Version.
00:06:53.89\00:06:58.01
Furthermore David the king
said unto all the congregation,
00:06:58.04\00:07:02.12
Solomon my son, whom alone God
hath chosen, is yet young and
00:07:02.15\00:07:08.55
tender, and the work is great:
for the palace is not for man,
00:07:08.58\00:07:13.25
but for the Lord God. Now I
have prepared with all my might
00:07:13.28\00:07:18.60
for the house of my God the gold
for things to be made of gold
00:07:18.63\00:07:22.24
and the silver for things of
silver, and the brass for things
00:07:22.27\00:07:26.01
of brass, the iron for things
of iron, and wood for things of
00:07:26.04\00:07:29.25
wood; onyx stones, and stones
to be set, glistering stones,
00:07:29.28\00:07:34.91
and of divers colors, and
all manner of precious stones,
00:07:34.94\00:07:37.91
and marble stones in abundance.
Moreover, because I have set
00:07:37.94\00:07:42.78
my affection to the house of my
God, I have of mine own proper
00:07:42.81\00:07:46.79
good, of gold and silver, which
I have given to the house of my
00:07:46.82\00:07:50.44
God, over and above all that I
have prepared for the holy house
00:07:50.47\00:07:54.71
even 3,000 talents of gold,
of the gold of Ophir, and 7,000
00:07:54.74\00:07:59.81
talents of refined silver to
overlay the walls of the houses
00:07:59.84\00:08:04.13
withal: The gold for things of
gold, and the silver for things
00:08:04.16\00:08:09.41
of silver, and for all manner
of work to be made by the hands
00:08:09.44\00:08:12.49
of artificers. And who
then is willing to consecrate
00:08:12.52\00:08:16.76
his service this day unto
the Lord? Then the chief of the
00:08:16.79\00:08:22.13
fathers and princes
of the tribes of Israel,
00:08:22.16\00:08:24.48
and the captains of thousands
and of hundreds, with the rulers
00:08:24.51\00:08:28.21
of the king's work, offered
willingly, and gave for the
00:08:28.24\00:08:32.39
service of the house of God
of gold 5,000 talents and 10,000
00:08:32.42\00:08:37.22
drams, and of silver 10,000
talents, and of brass 18,000
00:08:37.25\00:08:42.82
talents, and 100,000 talents
of iron. And they with whom
00:08:42.85\00:08:47.96
precious stones were found
gave them to the treasure of the
00:08:47.99\00:08:51.41
house of the Lord, by the
hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
00:08:51.44\00:08:55.39
Then the people rejoiced,
for that they offered willingly,
00:08:55.42\00:09:00.32
because with perfect heart they
offered willingly to the Lord:
00:09:00.35\00:09:04.06
and David the king also rejoiced
with great joy. Wherefore David
00:09:04.09\00:09:09.19
blessed the Lord before all the
congregation: and David said,
00:09:09.22\00:09:12.21
Blessed be thou, Lord God
of Israel our father, for ever
00:09:12.24\00:09:16.71
and ever. Thine, O Lord, is the
greatness, and the power, and
00:09:16.74\00:09:22.40
the glory, and the victory, and
majesty: for all that is in the
00:09:22.43\00:09:26.81
heaven and in the earth is thine
thine is the kingdom, O Lord,
00:09:26.84\00:09:31.47
and thou art exalted as head
above all. Both riches and honor
00:09:31.50\00:09:37.10
come of thee, and thou reignest
over all; and in thine hand is
00:09:37.13\00:09:41.27
power and might; and in
thine hand it is to make great
00:09:41.30\00:09:44.58
and give strength unto all. Now
therefore our God, we thank thee
00:09:44.61\00:09:51.35
and praise thy glorious name.
But who am I, and what is my
00:09:51.38\00:09:57.30
people, that we should be
able to offer so willingly
00:09:57.33\00:10:00.98
after this sort? for all things
come of thee, and of thine own
00:10:01.01\00:10:05.19
have we given thee. For
we are strangers before thee,
00:10:05.22\00:10:09.05
and sojourners, as were all our
fathers: our days on the earth
00:10:09.08\00:10:14.39
are as a shadow, and there
is none abiding. O Lord our God,
00:10:14.42\00:10:18.98
all this store that we have
prepared to build thee an house
00:10:19.01\00:10:23.15
for thine holy name cometh of
thine hand and is all thine own.
00:10:23.18\00:10:29.95
I know also, my God, that
thou triest the heart, and hast
00:10:29.98\00:10:35.13
pleasure in uprightness. As for
me, in the uprightness of mine
00:10:35.16\00:10:40.32
heart I have willingly offered
all these things: and now have I
00:10:40.35\00:10:44.81
seen with joy thy people,
which are present here, to offer
00:10:44.84\00:10:49.63
willingly unto thee. O Lord God
of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel
00:10:49.66\00:10:54.43
our fathers, keep this for
ever in the imagination of the
00:10:54.46\00:10:58.66
thoughts of the heart of thy
people, and prepare their heart
00:10:58.69\00:11:02.38
unto thee: And give unto
Solomon my son a perfect heart,
00:11:02.41\00:11:06.36
to keep thy commandments, thy
testimonies, and thy statutes,
00:11:06.39\00:11:09.55
and to do all these things,
and to build the palace, for the
00:11:09.58\00:11:12.81
which I have made provision.
And David said to all the
00:11:12.84\00:11:16.48
congregation, Now bless
the Lord your God. And all the
00:11:16.51\00:11:20.72
congregation blessed the Lord
God of their fathers, and bowed
00:11:20.75\00:11:23.48
down their heads, and worshipped
the Lord, and the king.
00:11:23.51\00:11:27.12
And they sacrificed sacrifices
unto the Lord, and offered
00:11:27.15\00:11:30.68
burnt offerings unto the Lord,
on the morrow after that day,
00:11:30.71\00:11:34.26
even a thousand bullocks, a
thousand rams, and a thousand
00:11:34.29\00:11:37.93
lambs with their drink offerings
and sacrifices in abundance
00:11:37.96\00:11:42.04
for all Israel: and did eat
and drink before the Lord on
00:11:42.07\00:11:46.06
that day with great gladness.
And they made Solomon the son
00:11:46.09\00:11:49.99
of David king the second time,
and anointed him unto the Lord
00:11:50.02\00:11:53.33
to be the chief governor,
and Zadok to be priest.
00:11:53.36\00:11:56.95
Then Solomon sat on the throne
of the Lord as king instead of
00:11:56.98\00:12:01.59
David his father, and prospered;
and all Israel obeyed him.
00:12:01.62\00:12:05.67
And all the princes and
the mighty men and all the sons
00:12:05.70\00:12:08.98
likewise of king
David, submitted themselves
00:12:09.01\00:12:11.61
unto Solomon the king.
And the Lord magnified Solomon
00:12:11.64\00:12:15.68
exceedingly in the sight of all
Israel, and bestowed upon him
00:12:15.71\00:12:19.03
such royal majesty as had
not been on any king before him
00:12:19.06\00:12:23.81
in Israel. Thus David the son
of Jesse reigned over all Israel
00:12:23.84\00:12:29.05
And the time that he reigned
over Israel was 40 years;
00:12:29.08\00:12:32.92
seven years reigned he in Hebron
and thirty and three years
00:12:32.95\00:12:37.32
reigned he in Jerusalem.
And he died in a good old age,
00:12:37.35\00:12:42.21
full of days, riches, and honor:
and Solomon his son reigned
00:12:42.24\00:12:48.13
in his stead. Now the acts of
David the king, first and last,
00:12:48.16\00:12:52.66
behold, they are written in
the book of Samuel the seer,
00:12:52.69\00:12:57.06
and in the book of Nathan
the prophet, and in the book of
00:12:57.09\00:13:00.82
Gad the seer, with all his reign
and his might, and the times
00:13:00.85\00:13:05.67
that went over him, and
over Israel, and over all the
00:13:05.70\00:13:09.39
kingdoms of the countries.
- We're continuing now in
00:13:09.42\00:13:13.37
the second book of
the Chronicles, chapter 1,
00:13:13.40\00:13:16.28
This is the king James Version.
And Solomon the son of David
00:13:16.31\00:13:21.23
was strengthened in his kingdom,
and the Lord his God was with
00:13:21.26\00:13:24.96
him, and
magnified him exceedingly.
00:13:24.99\00:13:28.15
Then Solomon spake unto
all Israel, to the captains
00:13:28.18\00:13:31.69
of thousands and of hundreds,
and to the judges, and to every
00:13:31.72\00:13:35.22
governor in all Israel,
the chief of the fathers.
00:13:35.25\00:13:37.51
So Solomon, and all
the congregation with him,
00:13:37.54\00:13:40.56
went to the high place that
was at Gibeon, for there was the
00:13:40.59\00:13:43.99
tabernacle of the congregation
of God, which Moses the servant
00:13:44.02\00:13:47.61
of the Lord had made in the
wilderness. But the ark of God
00:13:47.64\00:13:51.39
had David brought up from
Kirjathjearim to the place which
00:13:51.42\00:13:55.11
David had prepared for it:
for he had pitched a tent for it
00:13:55.14\00:13:58.11
at Jerusalem. Moreover the
brasen altar, that Bezaleel
00:13:58.14\00:14:02.78
the son of Uri, the son of
Hur, had made, he put before the
00:14:02.81\00:14:05.91
tabernacle of the Lord: and
Solomon and the congregation
00:14:05.94\00:14:09.03
sought unto it. And Solomon
went up thither to the brasen
00:14:09.06\00:14:12.69
altar before the Lord, which
was at the tabernacle of the
00:14:12.72\00:14:15.97
congregation, and offered a
thousand burnt offerings upon it
00:14:16.00\00:14:19.52
In that night did God appear
unto Solomon, and said unto him,
00:14:19.55\00:14:26.47
Ask what I shall give thee.
Thank you for joining with me
00:14:26.50\00:14:32.13

And until next time may He keep
00:14:32.16\00:14:35.84
us all in His care. Goodbye.
