“Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God, etc.] His honour and glory, most sincerely and cordially, and to the utmost of their power: arise ye, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God; assist therein, and encourage the work as much as they were able, without delay: to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord; which was now in a tent of David’s erecting and pitching: and the holy vessels of God: which were in the tabernacle at Gibeon: into the house that is to be built to the name of the Lord: that so they might be together, and made use of; which in times past had been separated, and much neglected.”
