1 Chronicles 28
1 David summoned all the officials of Israel to Jerusalem—the leaders of the tribes, the commanders of the army divisions, the other generals and captains, the overseers of the royal property and livestock, the palace officials, the mighty men, and all the other brave warriors in the kingdom.
2 David rose to his feet and said: “My brothers and my people! It was my desire to build a temple where the Ark of the LORD’s Covenant, God’s footstool, could rest permanently. I made the necessary preparations for building it,
3 but God said to me, ‘You must not build a temple to honor my name, for you are a warrior and have shed much blood.’
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
