¹⁹ David said, “This is all in writing for the hand of the Lord was upon me; he gave me understanding of all of the details of the plan.”

²⁰ David also said to Solomon, his son, “Be strong! Be brave! Do it! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord, the God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor will he abandon you until you have finished all of the work in service of the temple of the Lord. ²¹ Behold, the divisions for the priests and the Levites for all of their service in the temple of the Lord are completed, and you will have at your disposition every type of workman skillful in every craft. The leaders and the people will obey your every command.”
