1 Furthermore David 1732 the king 4428 said 559 unto all the congregation 6951, Solomon 8010 my son 1121, whom alone 259 God 430 hath chosen 977, is yet young 5288 and tender 7390, and the work 4399 is great 1419: for the palace 1002 is not for man 120, but for the LORD 3068 God 430.
2 Now I have prepared 3559 with all my might 3581 for the house 1004 of my God 430 the gold 2091 for things to be made of gold 2091, and the silver 3701 for things of silver 3701, and the brass 5178 for things of brass 5178, the iron 1270 for things of iron 1270, and wood 6086 for things of wood 6086; onyx 7718 stones 68, and stones to be set 4394, glistering 6320 stones 68, and of divers colours 7553, and all manner of precious 3368 stones 68, and marble 7893 stones 68 in abundance 7230.
3 Moreover, because I have set my affection 7521 to the house 1004 of my God 430, I have 3426 of mine own proper good 5459, of gold 2091 and silver 3701, which I have given 5414 to the house 1004 of my God 430, over and above 4605 all that I have prepared 3559 for the holy 6944 house 1004,
4 Even three 7969 thousand 505 talents 3603 of gold 2091, of the gold 2091 of Ophir 211, and seven 7651 thousand 505 talents 3603 of refined 2212 silver 3701, to overlay 2902 the walls 7023 of the houses 1004 withal:
5 The gold 2091 for things of gold 2091, and the silver 3701 for things of silver 3701, and for all manner of work 4399 to be made by the hands 3027 of artificers 2796. And who then is willing 5068 to consecrate 4390 his service 3027 this day 3117 unto the LORD 3068?
6 Then the chief 8269 of the fathers 1 and princes 8269 of the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478, and the captains 8269 of thousands 505 and of hundreds 3967, with the rulers 8269 of the king's 4428 work 4399, offered willingly 5068,
7 And gave 5414 for the service 5656 of the house 1004 of God 430 of gold 2091 five 2568 thousand 505 talents 3603 and ten thousand 7239 drams 150, and of silver 3701 ten 6235 thousand 505 talents 3603, and of brass 5178 eighteen 8083 7239 thousand 505 talents 3603, and one hundred 3967 thousand 505 talents 3603 of iron 1270.
8 And they with whom precious stones 68 were found 4672 gave 5414 them to the treasure 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, by the hand 3027 of Jehiel 3171 the Gershonite 1649.
9 Then the people 5971 rejoiced 8055, for that they offered willingly 5068, because with perfect 8003 heart 3820 they offered willingly 5068 to the LORD 3068: and David 1732 the king 4428 also rejoiced 8055 with great 1419 joy 8057.
10 Wherefore David 1732 blessed 1288 the LORD 3068 before 5869 all the congregation 6951: and David 1732 said 559, Blessed 1288 be thou, LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 our father 1, for 5704 ever 5769 and ever 5769.
11 Thine, O LORD 3068, is the greatness 1420, and the power 1369, and the glory 8597, and the victory 5331, and the majesty 1935: for all that is in the heaven 8064 and in the earth 776 is thine; thine is the kingdom 4467, O LORD 3068, and thou art exalted 4984 as head 7218 above all.
12 Both riches 6239 and honour 3519 come of thee 6440, and thou reignest 4910 over all; and in thine hand 3027 is power 3581 and might 1369; and in thine hand 3027 it is to make great 1431, and to give strength 2388 unto all.
13 Now therefore, our God 430, we thank 3034 thee, and praise 1984 thy glorious 8597 name 8034.
14 But who am I, and what is my people 5971, that we should be 6113 able 3581 to offer so willingly 5068 after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own 3027 have we given 5414 thee.
15 For we are strangers 1616 before 6440 thee, and sojourners 8453, as were all our fathers 1: our days 3117 on the earth 776 are as a shadow 6738, and there is none abiding 4723.
16 O LORD 3068 our God 430, all this store 1995 that we have prepared 3559 to build 1129 thee an house 1004 for thine holy 6944 name 8034 cometh of thine hand 3027, and is all thine own.
17 I know 3045 also, my God 430, that thou triest 974 the heart 3824, and hast pleasure 7521 in uprightness 3476. As for me, in the uprightness 4339 of mine heart 3824 I have willingly offered 5068 all these things: and now have I seen 7200 with joy 8057 thy people 5971, which are present 4672 here, to offer willingly 5068 unto thee.
18 O LORD 3068 God 430 of Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and of Israel 3478, our fathers 1, keep 8104 this for ever 5769 in the imagination 3336 of the thoughts 4284 of the heart 3824 of thy people 5971, and prepare 3559 their heart 3824 unto thee:
19 And give 5414 unto Solomon 8010 my son 1121 a perfect 8003 heart 3824, to keep 8104 thy commandments 4687, thy testimonies 5715, and thy statutes 2706, and to do 6213 all these things, and to build 1129 the palace 1002, for the which I have made provision 3559.
20 And David 1732 said 559 to all the congregation 6951, Now bless 1288 the LORD 3068 your God 430. And all the congregation 6951 blessed 1288 the LORD 3068 God 430 of their fathers 1, and bowed down their heads 6915, and worshipped 7812 the LORD 3068, and the king 4428.
21 And they sacrificed 2076 sacrifices 2077 unto the LORD 3068, and offered 5927 burnt offerings 5930 unto the LORD 3068, on the morrow 4283 after that day 3117, even a thousand 505 bullocks 6499, a thousand 505 rams 352, and a thousand 505 lambs 3532, with their drink offerings 5262, and sacrifices 2077 in abundance 7230 for all Israel 3478:
22 And did eat 398 and drink 8354 before 6440 the LORD 3068 on that day 3117 with great 1419 gladness 8057. And they made Solomon 8010 the son 1121 of David 1732 king 4427 the second time 8145, and anointed 4886 him unto the LORD 3068 to be the chief governor 5057, and Zadok 6659 to be priest 3548.
23 Then Solomon 8010 sat on 3427 the throne 3678 of the LORD 3068 as king 4428 instead of David 1732 his father 1, and prospered 6743; and all Israel 3478 obeyed 8085 him.
24 And all the princes 8269, and the mighty men 1368, and all the sons 1121 likewise of king 4428 David 1732, submitted themselves 5414 3027 8478 unto Solomon 8010 the king 4428.
25 And the LORD 3068 magnified 1431 Solomon 8010 exceedingly 4605 in the sight 5869 of all Israel 3478, and bestowed 5414 upon him such royal 4438 majesty 1935 as had not been on any king 4428 before 6440 him in Israel 3478.
26 Thus David 1732 the son 1121 of Jesse 3448 reigned 4427 over all Israel 3478.
27 And the time 3117 that he reigned 4427 over Israel 3478 was forty 705 years 8141; seven 7651 years 8141 reigned 4427 he in Hebron 2275, and thirty 7970 and three 7969 years reigned 4427 he in Jerusalem 3389.
28 And he died 4191 in a good 2896 old age 7872, full 7649 of days 3117, riches 6239, and honour 3519: and Solomon 8010 his son 1121 reigned 4427 in his stead.
29 Now the acts 1697 of David 1732 the king 4428, first 7223 and last 314, behold, they are written 3789 in the book 1697 of Samuel 8050 the seer 7200, and in the book 1697 of Nathan 5416 the prophet 5030, and in the book 1697 of Gad 1410 the seer 2374,
30 With all his reign 4438 and his might 1369, and the times 6256 that went over 5674 him, and over Israel 3478, and over all the kingdoms 4467 of the countries 776.
