'House of the Lord' in the Bible

Then David said, “This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

“Now, my son, may the Lord be with you, and may you succeed in building the house of the Lord your God, as He said about you.

“Notice I have taken great pains to provide for the house of the Lord—3,775 tons of gold, 37,750 tons of silver, and bronze and iron that can’t be weighed because there is so much of it. I have also provided timber and stone, but you will need to add more to them.
