Yours, LORD, is the kingdom, and you are exalted as head over all. 12 Wealth and honor come from you, and you rule over everything. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. 13 Now, 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 give so generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. 15 For we are strangers and temporary residents before you, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. 16 LORD our God, all this abundance that we have provided to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you. 17 I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. In the uprightness of my heart, I have freely offered all these things; and now I have seen your people, who are present here, joyfully and willingly give to you. 18 LORD, the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, keep these intentions and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever, and direct their hearts toward you. 19 And give my son Solomon an undivided heart to keep your commandments, your statutes, and your decrees, and to carry out all these plans, building the temple for which I have made preparations. 20 Then David said to the whole assembly, 'Praise the LORD your God.' So the entire assembly praised the LORD, the God of their fathers; they bowed down and prostrated themselves before the LORD and the king. 21 The next day, they offered sacrifices to the LORD and presented burnt offerings to him: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in great abundance for all Israel. 22 They ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the LORD that day. Then they made Solomon, son of David, king a second time, anointing him as ruler for the LORD and Zadok as priest. 23 So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all of Israel obeyed him. 24 All the officials, the mighty men, and all of King David’s sons pledged their allegiance to King Solomon. 25 The LORD greatly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and gave him royal majesty greater than that of any king before him in Israel. 26 David son of Jesse was king over all Israel. 27 He ruled over Israel for forty years: seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. 28 David died at a good old age, having enjoyed a full life of days, riches, and honor.
