1 Chronicles 22:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ Then David sent messages to all the leaders in Israel. He commanded them to help his son Solomon. ¹⁸ He said to them, ‘You know that the Lord your God is with you. He has kept you safe from all your enemies. He has put the people who live in this region under my authority. So now the Lord and his people rule over all those nations. ¹⁹ So you must serve the Lord your God with all that you are. Start the work! Begin to build the Lord God's holy place. Then you can put the Lord's Covenant Box there, as well as the other holy things. You will put them in the temple that you have built to give honour to the Lord's name.’
