1 Chronicles 28:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ As for you, Solomon, my son, keep near to your father's God. Be happy to serve him faithfully in every way. The Lord knows what you are thinking. He understands all your thoughts. If you turn to him, you will find him. But if you turn away from him, he will leave you alone for ever. ¹⁰ You must realize that the Lord has chosen you to build a temple to be his special home. Now you must be strong! Do this work.’

Solomon learns how to build the temple

¹¹ Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the temple buildings. That included the entrance room, the rooms to store things, the upstairs rooms and the inside rooms. And it included the Most Holy Place where the Covenant Box would be.
