1 # Furthermore David <01732> the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto all the congregation <06951>, Solomon <08010> my son <01121>, whom alone <0259> God <0430> hath chosen <0977> (8804), is yet young <05288> and tender <07390>, and the work <04399> is great <01419>: for the palace <01002> is not for man <0120>, but for the LORD <03068> God <0430>.
2 Now I have prepared <03559> (8689) with all my might <03581> for the house <01004> of my God <0430> the gold <02091> for things to be made of gold <02091>, and the silver <03701> for things of silver <03701>, and the brass <05178> for things of brass <05178>, the iron <01270> for things of iron <01270>, and wood <06086> for things of wood <06086> ; onyx <07718> stones <068>, and stones to be set <04394>, glistering <06320> stones <068>, and of divers colours <07553> , and all manner of precious <03368> stones <068>, and marble <07893> stones <068> in abundance <07230>.
3 Moreover, because I have set my affection <07521> (8800) to the house <01004> of my God <0430>, I have <03426> of mine own proper good <05459>, of gold <02091> and silver <03701>, which I have given <05414> (8804) to the house <01004> of my God <0430>, over and above <04605> all that I have prepared <03559> (8689) for the holy <06944> house <01004>,
4 Even three <07969> thousand <0505> talents <03603> of gold <02091>, of the gold <02091> of Ophir <0211>, and seven <07651> thousand <0505> talents <03603> of refined <02212> (8794) silver <03701>, to overlay <02902> (8800) the walls <07023> of the houses <01004> withal:
5 The gold <02091> for things of gold <02091>, and the silver <03701> for things of silver <03701>, and for all manner of work <04399> to be made by the hands <03027> of artificers <02796>. And who then is willing <05068> (8693) to consecrate <04390> (8763) his service <03027> this day <03117> unto the LORD <03068>?
6 Then the chief <08269> of the fathers <01> and princes <08269> of the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>, and the captains <08269> of thousands <0505> and of hundreds <03967>, with the rulers <08269> of the king's <04428> work <04399>, offered willingly <05068> (8691),
7 And gave <05414> (8799) for the service <05656> of the house <01004> of God <0430> of gold <02091> five <02568> thousand <0505> talents <03603> and ten thousand <07239> drams <0150>, and of silver <03701> ten <06235> thousand <0505> talents <03603>, and of brass <05178> eighteen <08083> <07239> thousand <0505> talents <03603> , and one hundred <03967> thousand <0505> talents <03603> of iron <01270>.
8 And they with whom precious stones <068> were found <04672> (8737) gave <05414> (8804) them to the treasure <0214> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, by the hand <03027> of Jehiel <03171> the Gershonite <01649>.
9 Then the people <05971> rejoiced <08055> (8799), for that they offered willingly <05068> (8692), because with perfect <08003> heart <03820> they offered willingly <05068> (8694) to the LORD <03068>: and David <01732> the king <04428> also rejoiced <08055> (8804) with great <01419> joy <08057>.
10 # Wherefore David <01732> blessed <01288> (8762) the LORD <03068> before <05869> all the congregation <06951> : and David <01732> said <0559> (8799), Blessed <01288> (8803) be thou, LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> our father <01>, for <05704> ever <05769> and ever <05769>.
11 Thine, O LORD <03068>, is the greatness <01420>, and the power <01369>, and the glory <08597>, and the victory <05331>, and the majesty <01935>: for all that is in the heaven <08064> and in the earth <0776> is thine; thine is the kingdom <04467>, O LORD <03068>, and thou art exalted <04984> (8693) as head <07218> above all.
12 Both riches <06239> and honour <03519> come of thee <06440>, and thou reignest <04910> (8802) over all; and in thine hand <03027> is power <03581> and might <01369>; and in thine hand <03027> it is to make great <01431> (8763), and to give strength <02388> (8763) unto all.
13 Now therefore, our God <0430>, we thank <03034> (8688) thee, and praise <01984> (8764) thy glorious <08597> name <08034>.
14 But who am I, and what is my people <05971>, that we should be <06113> (8799) able <03581> to offer so willingly <05068> (8692) after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own <03027> have we given <05414> (8804) thee.
15 For we are strangers <01616> before <06440> thee, and sojourners <08453>, as were all our fathers <01>: our days <03117> on the earth <0776> are as a shadow <06738>, and there is none abiding <04723>.
16 O LORD <03068> our God <0430>, all this store <01995> that we have prepared <03559> (8689) to build <01129> (8800) thee an house <01004> for thine holy <06944> name <08034> cometh of thine hand <03027>, and is all thine own.
17 I know <03045> (8804) also, my God <0430>, that thou triest <0974> (8802) the heart <03824>, and hast pleasure <07521> (8799) in uprightness <03476>. As for me, in the uprightness <04339> of mine heart <03824> I have willingly offered <05068> (8694) all these things: and now have I seen <07200> (8804) with joy <08057> thy people <05971>, which are present <04672> (8738) here, to offer willingly <05068> (8692) unto thee.
18 O LORD <03068> God <0430> of Abraham <085>, Isaac <03327>, and of Israel <03478>, our fathers <01> , keep <08104> (8798) this for ever <05769> in the imagination <03336> of the thoughts <04284> of the heart <03824> of thy people <05971>, and prepare <03559> (8685) their heart <03824> unto thee:
19 And give <05414> (8798) unto Solomon <08010> my son <01121> a perfect <08003> heart <03824>, to keep <08104> (8800) thy commandments <04687>, thy testimonies <05715>, and thy statutes <02706>, and to do <06213> (8800) all these things, and to build <01129> (8800) the palace <01002>, for the which I have made provision <03559> (8689) .
20 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) to all the congregation <06951>, Now bless <01288> (8761) the LORD <03068> your God <0430>. And all the congregation <06951> blessed <01288> (8762) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>, and bowed down their heads <06915> (8799), and worshipped <07812> (8691) the LORD <03068>, and the king <04428>.
21 And they sacrificed <02076> (8799) sacrifices <02077> unto the LORD <03068>, and offered <05927> (8686) burnt offerings <05930> unto the LORD <03068>, on the morrow <04283> after that day <03117>, even a thousand <0505> bullocks <06499>, a thousand <0505> rams <0352>, and a thousand <0505> lambs <03532>, with their drink offerings <05262>, and sacrifices <02077> in abundance <07230> for all Israel <03478>:
22 And did eat <0398> (8799) and drink <08354> (8799) before <06440> the LORD <03068> on that day <03117> with great <01419> gladness <08057>. And they made Solomon <08010> the son <01121> of David <01732> king <04427> (8686) the second time <08145>, and anointed <04886> (8799) him unto the LORD <03068> to be the chief governor <05057>, and Zadok <06659> to be priest <03548>.
23 # Then Solomon <08010> sat on <03427> (8799) the throne <03678> of the LORD <03068> as king <04428> instead of David <01732> his father <01>, and prospered <06743> (8686); and all Israel <03478> obeyed <08085> (8799) him.
24 And all the princes <08269>, and the mighty men <01368>, and all the sons <01121> likewise of king <04428> David <01732> , submitted themselves <05414> (8804) <03027> <08478> unto Solomon <08010> the king <04428>.
25 And the LORD <03068> magnified <01431> (8762) Solomon <08010> exceedingly <04605> in the sight <05869> of all Israel <03478>, and bestowed <05414> (8799) upon him such royal <04438> majesty <01935> as had not been on any king <04428> before <06440> him in Israel <03478>.
26 Thus David <01732> the son <01121> of Jesse <03448> reigned <04427> (8804) over all Israel <03478>.
27 And the time <03117> that he reigned <04427> (8804) over Israel <03478> was forty <0705> years <08141>; seven <07651> years <08141> reigned <04427> (8804) he in Hebron <02275>, and thirty <07970> and three <07969> years reigned <04427> (8804) he in Jerusalem <03389>.
28 And he died <04191> (8799) in a good <02896> old age <07872>, full <07649> of days <03117>, riches <06239>, and honour <03519>: and Solomon <08010> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
29 Now the acts <01697> of David <01732> the king <04428>, first <07223> and last <0314>, behold, they are written <03789> (8803) in the book <01697> of Samuel <08050> the seer <07200> (8802), and in the book <01697> of Nathan <05416> the prophet <05030>, and in the book <01697> of Gad <01410> the seer <02374>,
30 With all his reign <04438> and his might <01369>, and the times <06256> that went over <05674> (8804) him, and over Israel <03478>, and over all the kingdoms <04467> of the countries <0776>.
