1 Chronicles 28:19

Arabic 2016 (الكِتاب المُقَدَّس: التَّرْجَمَةُ العَرَبِيَّةُ المُبَسَّطَةُ)

أعْطَى دَاوُدُ سُلَيْمَانَ هَذِهِ التَّعلِيمَاتِ مَكْتُوبَةً، كَمَا اسْتَلَمَهَا مِنَ اللهِ. وَشَرَحَهَا لَهُ بِكُلِّ تَفْصِيلٍ بَحَسَبِ المُخَطَّطَاتِ.

What Does This Mean?

In this verse, King David explains that God showed him how to design all the plans for the temple through writing. David is speaking, and the key message is about divine guidance and understanding.

Explained for Children

Imagine if your friend told you how to draw a picture, but instead of just saying it, he wrote it down for you. That's what happened to David. God wrote down all the plans for the temple, and David understood them perfectly.

Historical Background

Living It Out Today

Think about a time when you had a project at school and your teacher gave you clear instructions to follow. Just like David understood God's detailed plans for the temple, you can trust that clear guidance helps you succeed in your tasks.
