1 Chronicles 29
29:1And David the king said to all the assembly, Solomon my son, in whom the lord has taken for himself, is young and tender, and the work is great; for the place of abode is not to man, but only to the lord God.
29:2And I according to all my power have prepared for the house of my God -- the gold for a gold thing, and the silver for a silver thing, and the brass for a brass thing, and the iron for an iron thing, and wood for a wood thing, and onyx stones, and fullness of very costly stones, and colored, and every valuable stone, and stones of Paros in multitude.
29:3And still, because of my favoring to the house of my God, there is to me gold and silver which I procured; and behold, I give it for the house of my God, for above and outside what I prepared for the house of the holy place --
29:4three thousand talents of gold from Ophir, and seven thousand talents of unadulterated silver, to overlay by them the walls of the temple;
29:5for the gold for the gold things, and for the silver for the silver things, and for every work by the hand of craftsmen. And who is feeling eager to fill his hands today to the lord?
29:6And the rulers of the families were eager, and the rulers of the sons of Israel, and the commanders of thousands, and commanders of hundreds, and the superintendents of the works, and the managers of the king.
29:7And they gave for the works of the house of the lord five thousand talents of gold, and ten thousand dracmas, and ten thousand talents of silver, and ten thousand eight thousand talents of brass, and of iron a hundred thousand talents.
29:8And the ones who were found with stones for themselves gave to the storehouses of the house of the lord, through the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
29:9And the people were glad over the voluntary offering, for from a full heart they were volunteering to the lord. And David the king was glad with great gladness.
29:10And king David blessed the lord before the assembly, saying, Blessed are you, O lord God of Israel, our father from the eon and unto the eon.
29:11To you, O lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the majesty, and the victory, and the acknowledgment. For you are master of all the things in heaven and upon the earth. To you, O lord, is the kingdom, and the raising in all, and in all rule.
29:12From you are the riches and the glory. You rule all, O lord, ruler of all sovereignty. And in your hand is strength and dominion; and in your hand to magnify, and to strengthen all.
29:13And now, O lord, we make acknowledgment to you, and we praise the name of your glory.
29:14And who am I, and what is my people, that we were strong to volunteer to you thus? For all things are yours, and of your things we give to you.
29:15For we are sojourners before you, and sojourners as all our fathers, and our days are as shadows upon the earth, and there is no waiting.
29:16O lord our God, to all this abundance which we prepared for you to build a house to your name -- to the holy name, for it is from your hand, and all things are yours.
29:17And I know, O lord, that you are the one examining hearts, and loving righteousness. And I in singleness of heart volunteered all these things. And now, your people, being found here, see with gladness, volunteering to you.
29:18O lord, God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, of the one of our fathers, keep of them the thing shaped of the thoughts of the heart of your people into the eon! and straighten out their hearts to you!
29:19And give to my son Solomon a good heart! to observe your commandments, and your testimonies, and your orders, and to lead all unto completion, and to build the furnishing of your house which I prepared.
29:20And David said to all the assembly, Bless indeed the lord our God! And all the assembly blessed the lord, the God of their fathers, and bent the knees to do obeisance to the lord, and to the king.
29:21And David sacrificed to the lord a sacrifice, and offered whole burnt-offerings to the lord on the next day of the first day -- of a thousand calves, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, and their libations, and sacrifices in multitude for all Israel.
29:22And they ate and drank before the lord in that day with great joy. And they gave reign for a second time for Solomon son of David. And they anointed him to the lord as king, and Zadok for priest.
29:23And Solomon sat upon the throne of the lord as king instead of David his father, and he prospered. And all Israel obeyed him.
29:24And the rulers, and the mighty ones, and also all the sons of king David submitted to him.
29:25And the lord magnified Solomon before all Israel, and put upon him glory of the kingdom of which did not happen unto any king before him over Israel.
29:26And David son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
29:27And the days which he reigned over Israel -- forty years. In Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem thirty-three years.
29:28And he died in a good old age, full of days, in wealth, and glory. And Solomon his son reigned instead of him.
29:29And the rest of the words of David the king, the ones former and the ones latter, behold, they are written in the words of Samuel the seer, and by the words of Nathan the prophet, and by the words of Gad the seer,
29:30concerning all his kingship, and all his dominion, and of the events of the times of the ones spreading unto him, and unto Israel, and unto all the kingdoms of the lands.
