H1732
Furthermore David
H4428
the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H6951
to all the congregation
H8010
, Solomon
H1121
my son
H259
, whom alone
H430
God
H977 [H8804]
hath chosen
H5288
, is yet young
H7390
and tender
H4399
, and the work
H1419
is great
H1002
: for the palace
H120
is not for man
H3068
, but for the LORD
H430
God.
2
H3559 [H8689]
Now I have prepared
H3581
with all my might
H1004
for the house
H430
of my God
H2091
the gold
H2091
for things to be made of gold
H3701
, and the silver
H3701
for things of silver
H5178
, and the brass
H5178
for things of brass
H1270
, the iron
H1270
for things of iron
H6086
, and wood
H6086
for things of wood
H7718
; onyx
H68
stones
H4394
, and stones to be set
H6320
, glittering
H68
stones
H7553
, and of various colours
H3368
, and all manner of precious
H68
stones
H7893
, and marble
H68
stones
H7230
in abundance.
3
H7521 [H8800]
Moreover, because I have set my affection
H1004
to the house
H430
of my God
H3426
, I have
H5459
of my own possessions
H2091
, of gold
H3701
and silver
H5414 [H8804]
, which I have given
H1004
to the house
H430
of my God
H4605
, over and above
H3559 [H8689]
all that I have prepared
H6944
for the holy
H1004
house,
4
H7969
Even three
H505
thousand
H3603
talents
H2091
of gold
H2091
, of the gold
H211
of Ophir
H7651
, and seven
H505
thousand
H3603
talents
H2212 [H8794]
of refined
H3701
silver
H2902 [H8800]
, to overlay
H7023
the walls
H1004
of the houses:
5
H2091
The gold
H2091
for things of gold
H3701
, and the silver
H3701
for things of silver
H4399
, and for all manner of work
H3027
to be made by the hands
H2796
of craftsmen
H5068 [H8693]
. And who then is willing
H4390 [H8763]
to consecrate
H3027
his service
H3117
this day
H3068
to the LORD?
6
H8269
Then the heads
H1
of the fathers
H8269
and princes
H7626
of the tribes
H3478
of Israel
H8269
, and the captains
H505
of thousands
H3967
and of hundreds
H8269
, with the rulers
H4428
over the king's
H4399
work
H5068 [H8691]
, offered willingly,
7
H5414 [H8799]
And gave
H5656
for the service
H1004
of the house
H430
of God
H2091
of gold
H2568
five
H505
thousand
H3603
talents
H7239
and ten thousand
H150
drams
H3701
, and of silver
H6235
ten
H505
thousand
H3603
talents
H5178
, and of brass
H8083 H7239
eighteen
H505
thousand
H3603
talents
H3967
, and one hundred
H505
thousand
H3603
talents
H1270
of iron.
8
H68
And they with whom precious stones
H4672 [H8737]
were found
H5414 [H8804]
gave
H214
them to the treasury
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the LORD
H3027
, by the hand
H3171
of Jehiel
H1649
the Gershonite.
9
H5971
Then the people
H8055 [H8799]
rejoiced
H5068 [H8692]
, for that they offered willingly
H8003
, because with perfect
H3820
heart
H5068 [H8694]
they offered willingly
H3068
to the LORD
H1732
: and David
H4428
the king
H8055 [H8804]
also rejoiced
H1419
with great
H8057
joy.
10
H1732
Therefore David
H1288 [H8762]
blessed
H3068
the LORD
H5869
before
H6951
all the congregation
H1732
: and David
H559 [H8799]
said
H1288 [H8803]
, Blessed
H3068
be thou, LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H1
our father
H5704
, for
H5769
ever
H5769
and ever.
11
H3068
Thine, O LORD
H1420
, is the greatness
H1369
, and the power
H8597
, and the glory
H5331
, and the victory
H1935
, and the majesty
H8064
: for all that is in the heaven
H776
and on the earth
H4467
is thine; thine is the kingdom
H3068
, O LORD
H4984 [H8693]
, and thou art exalted
H7218
as head above all.
12
H6239
Both riches
H3519
and honour
H6440
come from thee
H4910 [H8802]
, and thou reignest
H3027
over all; and in thy hand
H3581
is power
H1369
and might
H3027
; and in thy hand
H1431 [H8763]
it is to make great
H2388 [H8763]
, and to give strength to all.
13
H430
Now therefore, our God
H3034 [H8688]
, we thank
H1984 [H8764]
thee, and praise
H8597
thy glorious
H8034
name.
14
H5971
But who am I, and what is my people
H6113 [H8799]
, that we should be
H3581
able
H5068 [H8692]
to offer so willingly
H3027
after this sort? for all things come from thee, and of thy own
H5414 [H8804]
have we given thee.
15
H1616
For we are strangers
H6440
before
H8453
thee, and sojourners
H1
, as were all our fathers
H3117
: our days
H776
on the earth
H6738
are as a shadow
H4723
, and there is no abiding.
16
H3068
O LORD
H430
our God
H1995
, all this abundance
H3559 [H8689]
that we have prepared
H1129 [H8800]
to build
H1004
thee an house
H6944
for thy holy
H8034
name
H3027
cometh from thy hand, and is all thy own.
17
H3045 [H8804]
I know
H430
also, my God
H974 [H8802]
, that thou triest
H3824
the heart
H7521 [H8799]
, and hast pleasure
H3476
in uprightness
H4339
. As for me, in the uprightness
H3824
of my heart
H5068 [H8694]
I have willingly offered
H7200 [H8804]
all these things: and now have I seen
H8057
with joy
H5971
thy people
H4672 [H8738]
, who are present
H5068 [H8692]
here, to offer willingly to thee.
18
H3068
O LORD
H430
God
H85
of Abraham
H3327
, Isaac
H3478
, and of Israel
H1
, our fathers
H8104 [H8798]
, keep
H5769
this for ever
H3336
in the imagination
H4284
of the thoughts
H3824
of the heart
H5971
of thy people
H3559 [H8685]
, and prepare
H3824
their heart to thee:
19
H5414 [H8798]
And give
H8010
to Solomon
H1121
my son
H8003
a perfect
H3824
heart
H8104 [H8800]
, to keep
H4687
thy commandments
H5715
, thy testimonies
H2706
, and thy statutes
H6213 [H8800]
, and to do
H1129 [H8800]
all these things, and to build
H1002
the palace
H3559 [H8689]
, for which I have made provision.
20
H1732
And David
H559 [H8799]
said
H6951
to all the congregation
H1288 [H8761]
, Now bless
H3068
the LORD
H430
your God
H6951
. And all the congregation
H1288 [H8762]
blessed
H3068
the LORD
H430
God
H1
of their fathers
H6915 [H8799]
, and bowed their heads
H7812 [H8691]
, and worshipped
H3068
the LORD
H4428
, and the king.
21
H2076 [H8799]
And they sacrificed
H2077
sacrifices
H3068
to the LORD
H5927 [H8686]
, and offered
H5930
burnt offerings
H3068
to the LORD
H4283
, on the day
H3117
following that day
H505
, even a thousand
H6499
bulls
H505
, a thousand
H352
rams
H505
, and a thousand
H3532
lambs
H5262
, with their drink offerings
H2077
, and sacrifices
H7230
in abundance
H3478
for all Israel:
22
H398 [H8799]
And ate
H8354 [H8799]
and drank
H6440
before
H3068
the LORD
H3117
on that day
H1419
with great
H8057
gladness
H8010
. And they made Solomon
H1121
the son
H1732
of David
H4427 [H8686]
king
H8145
the second time
H4886 [H8799]
, and anointed
H3068
him to the LORD
H5057
to be the chief governor
H6659
, and Zadok
H3548
to be priest.
23
H8010
Then Solomon
H3427 [H8799]
sat on
H3678
the throne
H3068
of the LORD
H4428
as king
H1732
instead of David
H1
his father
H6743 [H8686]
, and prospered
H3478
; and all Israel
H8085 [H8799]
obeyed him.
24
H8269
And all the princes
H1368
, and the mighty men
H1121
, and all the sons
H4428
likewise of king
H1732
David
H5414 H3027 H8478 [H8804]
, submitted themselves
H8010
to Solomon
H4428
the king.
25
H3068
And the LORD
H1431 [H8762]
magnified
H8010
Solomon
H4605
exceedingly
H5869
in the sight
H3478
of all Israel
H5414 [H8799]
, and bestowed
H4438
upon him such royal
H1935
majesty
H4428
as had not been on any king
H6440
before
H3478
him in Israel.
27
H3117
And the time
H4427 [H8804]
that he reigned
H3478
over Israel
H705
was forty
H8141
years
H7651
; seven
H8141
years
H4427 [H8804]
he reigned
H2275
in Hebron
H7970
, and thirty
H7969
and three
H4427 [H8804]
years he reigned
H3389
in Jerusalem.
28
H4191 [H8799]
And he died
H2896
in a good
H7872
old age
H7649
, full
H3117
of days
H6239
, riches
H3519
, and honour
H8010
: and Solomon
H1121
his son
H4427 [H8799]
reigned in his stead.
