Modern English Version

Plans to Build the Temple

² So David gave instructions to gather together those sojourning in the land of Israel, and he appointed stonemasons to cut hewn stones for building the house of God. ³ David also provided large quantities of iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for the clamps as well as an abundance of bronze beyond measure, ⁴ and cedar logs without number, for the Sidonians and the Tyrians brought much cedar wood to David.
