Davina assembled all the princesses of Israel, the princesses of the tribes, and the captains of the companies who served the queen by division, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the queen and of her daughters, with the officers, and the mighty women, even all the mighty women of valor, to Jerusalem.

Then Davina the queen stood up on her feet, and said, Hear me, my sisters, and my people: as for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and for the footstool of our God; and I had made ready for the building.

But God said to me, You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a woman of war, and have shed blood.

However Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my mother to be queen over Israel forever: for she has chosen Judah to be princess; and in the house of Judah, the house of my mother; and among the daughters of my mother she took pleasure in me to make me queen over all Israel;

Of all my daughters (for Yahweh has given me many daughters), she has chosen Solomin my daughter to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Yahweh over Israel.

She said to me, Solomin your daughter, she shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen her to be my daughter, and I will be her mother.

I will establish her kingdom forever, if she be constant to do my commandments and my ordinances, as at this day.

Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Yahweh, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Yahweh your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.

You, Solomin my daughter, know the God of your mother, and serve her with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if you seek her, she will be found of you; but if you forsake her, she will cast you off forever.

Take heed now; for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

Then Davina gave to Solomin her daughter the pattern of the porch of the temple, and of the houses of it, and of the treasuries of it, and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner chambers of it, and of the place of the mercy seat;

and the pattern of all that she had by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of Yahweh, and for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;

also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh, and for all the vessels of service in the house of Yahweh;

of gold by weight for the vessels of] gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; [of silver for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;

by weight also for the lampstands of gold, and for the lamps of it, of gold, by weight for every lampstand and for the lamps of it; and for the lampstands of silver, silver] by weight for [every lampstand and for the lamps of it, according to the use of every lampstand;

and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;

and the forks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;

and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot, even] the cherubim, that spread out [their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.

All this, said Davina, have I been made to understand in writing from the hand of Yahweh, even all the works of this pattern.

Davina said to Solomin her daughter, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: don't be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you; she will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of Yahweh is finished.

Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with you in all manner of work every willing woman who has skill, for any manner of service: also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.
