1 Chronicles 29:13-25

13Now thereforeH6258, our GodH430, weH587 give You thanksH3034, and we praiseH1984 Your gloriousH8597 nameH8034. 14ButH3588 whoH4310 am IH589, and whoH4310 are my peopleH5971, thatH3588 we should be ableH6113H3581 to give as generouslyH5068 as thisH2063? ForH3588 everythingH3605 comes from YouH4480, and from Your own handH3027 we have givenH5414 to You. 15ForH3588 weH587 are foreignersH1616 and strangersH8453 in Your presenceH6440, as were allH3605 our forefathersH1. Our daysH3117 onH5921 earthH776 are like a shadowH6738, withoutH369 hopeH4723.

16O LORDH3068 our GodH430, from Your handH3027 comesH1931 allH3605 thisH2088 abundanceH1995 thatH834 we have providedH3559 to buildH1129 You a houseH1004 for Your holyH6944 NameH8034, and all of itH3605 belongs to You. 17I knowH3045, my GodH430, thatH3588 YouH859 testH974 the heartH3824 and delightH7521 in uprightnessH4339. AllH3605 these thingsH428 IH589 have given willinglyH5068 and with an uprightH3476 heartH3824, and nowH6258 I have seenH7200 Your peopleH5971 who are presentH4672 hereH6311 giving joyfullyH8057 and willinglyH5068 to You.

18O LORDH3068, GodH430 of our fathersH1 AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, keepH8104 thisH2063 desireH3336 foreverH5769 in the intentionsH4284 of the heartsH3824 of Your peopleH5971, and directH3559 their heartsH3824 toward YouH413. 19And giveH5414 my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 a wholeH8003 heartH3824 to keepH8104 and carry outH6213 allH3605 Your commandmentsH4687, decreesH5715, and statutesH2706, and to buildH1129 Your palaceH1002 for whichH834 I have made provisionH3559.”

20Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951, “BlessH1288H4994 the LORDH3068 your GodH430.”

So the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. They bowed downH6915 and paid homageH7812 to the LORDH3068 and to the kingH4428.

21The next dayH4283H3117H1931 they offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077H5927 and presented burnt offeringsH5930 to the LORDH3068: a thousandH505 bullsH6499, a thousandH505 ramsH352, and a thousandH505 lambsH3532, along with their drink offeringsH5262, and other sacrificesH2077 in abundanceH7230 for allH3605 IsraelH3478. 22ThatH1931 dayH3117 they ateH398 and drankH8354 with greatH1419 joyH8057 in the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068.

Then, for a secondH8145 time, they designated David’sH1732 sonH1121 SolomonH8010 as kingH4427, anointing himH4886 before the LORDH3068 as rulerH5057, and ZadokH6659 as the priestH3548.

23So SolomonH8010 satH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of the LORDH3068 as kingH4428 in place ofH8478 his fatherH1 DavidH1732. He prosperedH6743, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 obeyed himH8085H413. 24AllH3605 the officialsH8269 and mighty menH1368, as well asH1571 allH3605 of KingH4428 David’sH1732 sonsH1121, pledgedH5414 their allegianceH3027 toH8478 KingH4428 SolomonH8010.

25The LORDH3068 highlyH4605 exaltedH1431 SolomonH8010 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478 and bestowedH5414 on himH5921 royalH4438 majestyH1935 such asH834 had notH3808 beenH1961 bestowed onH5921 anyH3605 kingH4428 inH5921 IsraelH3478 before himH6440.
