1 Chronicles 29:13-25

13Now, our God, we give you thanks and praise Your glorious Name.

14“But who am I and who are my people that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For everything comes from You, and from Your hand we have given to You.

15For we are sojourners before You, mere transients like our fathers. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, without security.

16Adonai Eloheinu, all this abundance that we have laid aside to build You a House for Your holy Name is from Your hand; it all belongs to You.

17I know, my God, that You search the heart and take pleasure in uprightness. With integrity of heart I have willingly offered all these things. And now I have seen with joy Your people who are present here willingly contribute to You.

18Adonai, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel our fathers, preserve forever such motives and thoughts in the heart of Your people and make their heart constant toward You.

19As for my son Solomon, give him a whole heart to keep Your mitzvot, Your decrees and Your statutes, and to fulfill them all and to build the Temple for which I have made provision.”

20Then David said to the whole congregation, “Now bless Adonai your God.” So the whole congregation blessed Adonai, the God of their fathers. They bowed down and fell prostrate before Adonai and the king.

21The next day, they sacrificed sacrifices to Adonai and offered burnt offerings to Adonai; 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams and 1,000 lambs, along with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

22So they ate and drank before Adonai on that day with great joy. Then they designated Solomon the son of David as king a second time, anointing him before Adonai as ruler and Zadok as kohen.

23So Solomon sat on the throne of Adonai as king instead of his father David. He prospered and all Israel obeyed him.

24All the officials and mighty men, as well as all the sons of King David, pledged their hand in support of King Solomon.

25Adonai highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had never been on any king before him in Israel.
