1
Furthermore David the
king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen,
is yet
young and tender, and the work
is
great: for the palace
is
not for man, but for the
L
ORD
God.
2
Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for
things to be made
of gold, and the silver for
things
of silver, and the brass for
things
of brass, the iron for
things
of iron, and wood for
things
of wood; onyx stones, and
stones
to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
3
Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver,
which
I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,
4
Even
three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses
withal:
5
The gold for
things
of gold, and the silver for
things
of silver, and for all manner of work
to be made
by the hands of artificers. And who
then
is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the
L
ORD
?
6
Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king’s work, offered willingly,
7
And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
8
And they with whom
precious
stones were found gave
them
to the treasure of the house of the
L
ORD
, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9
Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the
L
ORD
: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
10
Wherefore David blessed the
L
ORD
before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed
be
thou,
L
ORD
God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
11
Thine, O
L
ORD
,
is
the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all
that is
in the heaven and in the earth
is thine;
thine
is
the kingdom, O
L
ORD
, and thou art exalted as head above all.
12
Both riches and honour
come
of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand
is
power and might; and in thine hand
it is
to make great, and to give strength unto all.
Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.
14
But who
am
I, and what
is
my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things
come
of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
15
For we
are
strangers before thee, and sojourners, as
were
all our fathers: our days on the earth
are
as a shadow, and
there is
none abiding.
16
O
L
ORD
our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name
cometh
of thine hand, and
is
all thine own.
17
I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.
18
O
L
ORD
God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
19
And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all
these things
, and to build the palace,
for
the which I have made provision.
20
And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the
L
ORD
your God. And all the congregation blessed the
L
ORD
God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the
L
ORD
, and the king.
21
And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the
L
ORD
, and offered burnt offerings unto the
L
ORD
, on the morrow after that day,
even
a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams,
and
a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:
22
And did eat and drink before the
L
ORD
on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed
him
unto the
L
ORD
to be
the chief governor, and Zadok
to be
priest.
23
Then Solomon sat on the throne of the
L
ORD
as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
24
And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.
25
And the
L
ORD
magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him
such
royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26
Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27
And the time that he reigned over Israel
was
forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three
years
reigned he in Jerusalem.
28
And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
29
Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they
are
written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
30
With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
