| 5.

Therefore I will prepare it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death. |
| 5. Dynamic Translation David said, “My son Solomon is still young and untested, and the house that is to be built for the LORD {Yahweh, Object of Worship} must be extremely grand—bringing fame and splendor for people everywhere. So I will get everything ready now.” Then David made extensive preparations before he died. |
