And David{H1732} the king{H4428} said{H559} unto all the assembly,{H6951} Solomon{H8010} my son,{H1121} whom alone{H259} God{H430} hath chosen,{H977} is yet young{H5288} and tender,{H7390} and the work{H4399} is great;{H1419} for the palace{H1002} is not for man,{H120} but for Jehovah{H3068} God.{H430}

Now I have prepared{H3559} with all my might{H3581} for the house{H1004} of my God{H430} the gold{H2091} for the [things of] gold,{H2091} and the silver{H3701} for the [things of] silver,{H3701} and the brass{H5178} for the [things of] brass,{H5178} the iron{H1270} for the [things of] iron,{H1270} and wood{H6086} for the [things of] wood;{H6086} onyx{H7718} stones,{H68} and [stones]{H68} to be set,{H4394} stones{H68} for inlaid work, and of divers colors,{H7553} and all manner of precious{H3368} stones,{H68} and marble{H7893} stones{H68} in abundance.{H7230}

Moreover also, because I have set my affection{H7521} on the house{H1004} of my God,{H430} seeing that I have{H3426} a treasure{H5459} of mine own of gold{H2091} and silver,{H3701} I give{H5414} it unto the house{H1004} of my God,{H430} over and above{H4605} all that I have prepared{H3559} for the holy{H6944} house,{H1004}

even three{H7969} thousand{H505} talents{H3603} of gold,{H2091} of the gold{H2091} of Ophir,{H211} and seven{H7651} thousand{H505} talents{H3603} of refined{H2212} silver,{H3701} wherewith to overlay{H2902} the walls{H7023} of the houses;{H1004}

of gold{H2091} for the things of gold,{H2091} and of silver{H3701} for the things of silver,{H3701} and for all manner of work{H4399} to be made by the hands{H3027} of artificers.{H2796} Who then offereth willingly{H5068} to consecrate{H4390} himself{H3027} this day{H3117} unto Jehovah?{H3068}

Then the princes{H8269} of the fathers'{H1} [houses], and the princes{H8269} of the tribes{H7626} of Israel,{H3478} and the captains{H8269} of thousands{H505} and of hundreds,{H3967} with the rulers{H8269} over the king's{H4428} work,{H4399} offered willingly;{H5068}

and they gave{H5414} for the service{H5656} of the house{H1004} of God{H430} of gold{H2091} five{H2568} thousand{H505} talents{H3603} and ten{H6235} thousand{H505} darics, and of silver{H3701} ten{H6235} thousand{H505} talents,{H3603} and of brass{H5178} eighteen{H8083} thousand{H505} talents,{H3603} and of iron{H1270} a hundred{H3967} thousand{H505} talents.{H3603}

And they with whom [precious] stones{H68} were found{H4672} gave{H5414} them to the treasure{H214} of the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} under the hand{H3027} of Jehiel{H3171} the Gershonite.{H1649}

Then the people{H5971} rejoiced,{H8055} for that they offered willingly,{H5068} because with a perfect{H8003} heart{H3820} they offered willingly{H5068} to Jehovah:{H3068} and David{H1732} the king{H4428} also rejoiced{H8055} with great{H1419} joy.{H8057}

Wherefore David{H1732} blessed{H1288} Jehovah{H3068} before{H5869} all the assembly;{H6951} and David{H1732} said,{H559} Blessed{H1288} be thou, O Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel{H3478} our father,{H1} for{H5704} ever{H5769} and ever.{H5769}

Thine, O Jehovah,{H3068} is the greatness,{H1420} and the power,{H1369} and the glory,{H8597} and the victory,{H5331} and the majesty:{H1935} for all that is in the heavens{H8064} and in the earth{H776} [is thine]; thine is the kingdom,{H4467} O Jehovah,{H3068} and thou art exalted{H4984} as head{H7218} above all.

Both riches{H6239} and honor{H3519} come of thee,{H6440} and thou rulest{H4910} over all; and in thy hand{H3027} is power{H3581} and might;{H1369} and in thy hand{H3027} it is to make great,{H1431} and to give strength{H2388} unto all.

Now therefore, our God,{H430} we thank{H3034} thee, and praise{H1984} thy glorious{H8597} name.{H8034}

But who am I, and what is my people,{H5971} that we should be{H6113} able{H3581} to offer so willingly{H5068} after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own{H3027} have we given{H5414} thee.

For we are strangers{H1616} before{H6440} thee, and sojourners,{H8453} as all our fathers{H1} were: our days{H3117} on the earth{H776} are as a shadow,{H6738} and there is no abiding.{H4723}

O Jehovah{H3068} our God,{H430} all this store{H1995} that we have prepared{H3559} to build{H1129} thee a house{H1004} for thy holy{H6944} name{H8034} cometh of thy hand,{H3027} and is all thine own.

I know{H3045} also, my God,{H430} that thou triest{H974} the heart,{H3824} and hast pleasure{H7521} in uprightness.{H3476} As for me, in the uprightness{H4339} of my heart{H3824} I have willingly offered{H5068} all these things: and now have I seen{H7200} with joy{H8057} thy people,{H5971} that are present{H4672} here, offer willingly{H5068} unto thee.

O Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Abraham,{H85} of Isaac,{H3327} and of Israel,{H3478} our fathers,{H1} keep{H8104} this for ever{H5769} in the imagination{H3336} of the thoughts{H4284} of the heart{H3824} of thy people,{H5971} and prepare{H3559} their heart{H3824} unto thee;

and give{H5414} unto Solomon{H8010} my son{H1121} a perfect{H8003} heart,{H3824} to keep{H8104} thy commandments,{H4687} thy testimonies,{H5715} and thy statutes,{H2706} and to do{H6213} all these things, and to build{H1129} the palace,{H1002} for which I have made provision.{H3559}

And David{H1732} said{H559} to all the assembly,{H6951} Now bless{H1288} Jehovah{H3068} your God.{H430} And all the assembly{H6951} blessed{H1288} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of their fathers,{H1} and bowed down their heads,{H6915} and worshipped{H7812} Jehovah,{H3068} and the king.{H4428}

And they sacrificed{H2076} sacrifices{H2077} unto Jehovah,{H3068} and offered{H5927} burnt-offerings{H5930} unto Jehovah,{H3068} on the morrow{H4283} after that day,{H4283} even a thousand{H505} bullocks,{H6499} a thousand{H505} rams,{H352} and a thousand{H505} lambs,{H3532} with their drink-offerings,{H5262} and sacrifices{H2077} in abundance{H7230} for all Israel,{H3478}

and did eat{H398} and drink{H8354} before{H6440} Jehovah{H3068} on that day{H3117} with great{H1419} gladness.{H8057} And they made Solomon{H8010} the son{H1121} of David{H1732} king{H4427} the second time,{H8145} and anointed{H4886} him unto Jehovah{H3068} to be prince,{H5057} and Zadok{H6659} to be priest.{H3548}

Then Solomon{H8010} sat on{H3427} the throne{H3678} of Jehovah{H3068} as king{H4428} instead of David{H1732} his father,{H1} and prospered;{H6743} and all Israel{H3478} obeyed{H8085} him.

And all the princes,{H8269} and the mighty men,{H1368} and all the sons{H1121} likewise of king{H4428} David,{H1732} submitted themselves{H3027} unto Solomon{H8010} the king.{H4428}

And Jehovah{H3068} magnified{H1431} Solomon{H8010} exceedingly{H4605} in the sight{H5869} of all Israel,{H3478} and bestowed{H5414} upon him such royal{H4438} majesty{H1935} as had not been on any king{H4428} before{H6440} him in Israel.{H3478}

Now David{H1732} the son{H1121} of Jesse{H3448} reigned{H4427} over all Israel.{H3478}

And the time{H3117} that he reigned{H4427} over Israel{H3478} was forty{H705} years;{H8141} seven{H7651} years{H8141} reigned{H4427} he in Hebron,{H2275} and thirty{H7970} and three{H7969} years reigned{H4427} he in Jerusalem.{H3389}

And he died{H4191} in a good{H2896} old age,{H7872} full{H7649} of days,{H3117} riches,{H6239} and honor:{H3519} and Solomon{H8010} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.

Now the acts{H1697} of David{H1732} the king,{H4428} first{H7223} and last,{H314} behold, they are written{H3789} in the history{H1697} of Samuel{H8050} the seer,{H7200} and in the history{H1697} of Nathan{H5416} the prophet,{H5030} and in the history{H1697} of Gad{H1410} the seer,{H2374}

with all his reign{H4438} and his might,{H1369} and the times{H6256} that went over{H5674} him, and over Israel,{H3478} and over all the kingdoms{H4467} of the countries.{H776}
