1 Then David said, “Here shall be the house of the Lord God and here the altar of burnt offering for Israel.” 2 David gave orders to gather together the aliens who were residing in the land of Israel, and he set stonecutters to prepare dressed stones for building the house of God. 3 David also provided great stores of iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for clamps, as well as bronze in quantities beyond weighing, 4 and cedar logs without number—for the Sidonians and Tyrians brought great quantities of cedar to David. 1 Chronicles 22:1-4, NRSV Catholic Edition.
