1 Chronicles 29

1And DavidH1732 the kingH4428 saidH559 unto all the assemblyH6951, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, whom alone GodH430 hath chosenH977, is yet youngH5288 and tenderH7390, and the workH4399 is greatH1419; for the palace is not for manH120, but for Jehovah GodH430. 2Now I have preparedH3559 with all my might for the houseH1004 of my GodH430 the goldH2091 for the things of goldH2091, and the silverH3701 for the things of silverH3701, and the brass for the things of brass, the ironH1270 for the things of ironH1270, and woodH6086 for the things of woodH6086; onyxH7718 stonesH68, and stonesH68 to be set, stonesH68 for inlaid work, and of divers colors, and all manner of preciousH3368 stonesH68, and marble stonesH68 in abundanceH7230. 3Moreover also, because I have setH5414 my affection on the houseH1004 of my GodH430, seeing that I have a treasureH5459 of mine own of goldH2091 and silverH3701, I giveH5414 it unto the houseH1004 of my GodH430, over and above all that I have preparedH3559 for the holyH6944 houseH1004, 4even threeH7969 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, of the goldH2091 of OphirH211, and sevenH7651 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of refinedH2212 silverH3701, wherewith to overlay the wallsH7023 of the housesH1004; 5of goldH2091 for the things of goldH2091, and of silverH3701 for the things of silverH3701, and for all manner of workH4399 to be made by the handsH3027 of artificers. Who then offereth willingly to consecrate himself this dayH3117 unto Jehovah?

6Then the princesH8269 of the fathers’H1houses, and the princesH8269 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and the captains of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, with the rulers over the king’sH4428 workH4399, offeredH5068 willingly; 7and they gaveH5414 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430 of goldH2091 fiveH2568 thousandH505 talentsH3603 and tenH6235 thousandH505 daricsH150, and of silverH3701 tenH6235 thousandH505 talentsH3603, and of brass eighteen thousandH505 talentsH3603, and of ironH1270 a hundredH3967 thousandH505 talentsH3603. 8And they with whom precious stonesH68 were foundH4672 gaveH5414 them to the treasureH214 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, under the handH3027 of JehielH3171 the GershoniteH1649. 9Then the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055, for that they offeredH5068 willingly, because with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 they offeredH5068 willingly to Jehovah: and DavidH1732 the kingH4428 alsoH1571 rejoicedH8055 with greatH1419 joyH8057.

10Wherefore DavidH1732 blessedH1288 Jehovah before all the assemblyH6951; and DavidH1732 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 our fatherH1, for everH5769 and everH5769. 11Thine, O Jehovah, is the greatnessH1420, and the power, and the gloryH8597, and the victory, and the majestyH1935: for all that is in the heavensH8064 and in the earthH776 is thine; thine is the kingdomH4467, O Jehovah, and thou art exalted as headH7218 above all. 12Both richesH6239 and honorH3519 come of thee, and thou rulest over all; and in thy handH3027 is power and might; and in thy handH3027 it is to makeH1431 greatH1431, and to give strengthH1369 unto all. 13NowH6258 thereforeH6258, our GodH430, we thankH3034 thee, and praiseH1984 thy glorious nameH8034. 14But who am I, and what is my peopleH5971, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we givenH5414 thee. 15For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathersH1 were: our daysH3117 on the earthH776 are as a shadowH6738, and there is no abiding. 16O Jehovah our GodH430, all this store that we have preparedH3559 to buildH1129 thee a houseH1004 for thy holyH6944 nameH8034 cometh of thy handH3027, and is all thine own. 17I knowH3045 also, my GodH430, that thou triest the heartH3824, and hast pleasureH8057 in uprightnessH3476. As for me, in the uprightnessH3476 of my heartH3824 I have willingly offeredH5068 all these thingsH428: and nowH6258 have I seenH7200 with joyH8057 thy peopleH5971, that are present hereH6311, offerH5068 willingly unto thee. 18O Jehovah, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, of IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, our fathersH1, keepH8104 this for everH5769 in the imagination of the thoughtsH4284 of the heartH3824 of thy peopleH5971, and prepareH3559 their heartH3824 unto thee; 19and giveH5414 unto SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 a perfectH8003 heartH3824, to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687, thy testimoniesH5715, and thy statutesH2708, and to do all these things, and to buildH1129 the palace, for which I have madeH6213 provision.

20And DavidH1732 saidH559 to all the assemblyH6951, Now blessH1288 Jehovah your GodH430. And all the assemblyH6951 blessedH1288 Jehovah, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, and bowedH7812 downH7812 their heads, and worshipped Jehovah, and the kingH4428. 21And they sacrificedH2076 sacrificesH2077 unto Jehovah, and offeredH5927 burnt-offerings unto Jehovah, on the morrow after that dayH3117, even a thousandH505 bullocks, a thousandH505 ramsH352, and a thousandH505 lambsH3532, with their drink-offerings, and sacrificesH2077 in abundanceH7230 for all IsraelH3478, 22and did eatH398 and drinkH8354 before Jehovah on that dayH3117 with greatH1419 gladnessH8057.

And they made SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4427 the secondH8145 time, and anointedH4886 him unto Jehovah to be princeH5057, and ZadokH6659 to be priestH3548. 23Then SolomonH8010 satH3427 on the throneH3678 of Jehovah as kingH4428 instead of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, and prospered; and all IsraelH3478 obeyed him. 24And all the princesH8269, and the mightyH1368 menH1368, and all the sonsH1121 likewise of kingH4428 DavidH1732, submitted themselves unto SolomonH8010 the kingH4428. 25And Jehovah magnifiedH1431 SolomonH8010 exceedingly in the sight of all IsraelH3478, and bestowed upon him such royal majestyH1935 as had not beenH1961 on any kingH4428 before him in IsraelH3478.

26Now DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 reignedH4427 over all IsraelH3478. 27And the time that he reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 was fortyH705 yearsH8141; sevenH7651 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in HebronH2275, and thirtyH7970 and threeH7969yearsH8141reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389. 28And he diedH4191 in a goodH2896 old age, full of daysH3117, richesH6239, and honorH3519: and SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. 29Now the acts of DavidH1732 the kingH4428, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the history of SamuelH8050 the seerH2374, and in the history of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and in the history of GadH1410 the seerH2374, 30with all his reignH4438 and his might, and the timesH6256 that went over him, and over IsraelH3478, and over all the kingdomsH4467 of the countries.
