David tells Solomon to be strong, courageous, and active because God will be with him until the temple service is finished. Priests, Levites, skilled workers, and leaders are ready to help. Haggai later uses a strikingly similar cluster of courage, work, and divine presence during the Second Temple rebuilding. The connection shows how temple-building language can be reused within Scripture across generations.
