Furthermore DavidH1732 the kingH4428 saidH559 to allH3605 the congregation,H6951 SolomonH8010 my son,H1121 whom aloneH259 GodH430 has chosen,H977 is yet youngH5288 and tender,H7390 and the workH4399 is great:H1419 for the palaceH1002 is not for man,H120 but for the LORDH3068 God.H430
2
Now I have preparedH3559 with allH3605 my mightH3581 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430 the goldH2091 for things to be made of gold,H2091 and the silverH3701 for things of silver,H3701 and the brassH5178 for things of brass,H5178 the ironH1270 for things of iron,H1270 and woodH6086 for things of wood;H6086 onyxH7718 stones,H68 and stonesH68 to be set,H4394 glisteringH6320 stones,H68 and of diversH7553 colors,H7553 and allH3605 manner of preciousH3368 stones,H68 and marbleH7893 stonesH68 in abundance.H7230
3
Moreover,H5750 because I have set my affectionH7521 to the houseH1004 of my God,H430 I haveH3426 of my own properH5459 good, of goldH2091 and silver,H3701 which I have givenH5414 to the houseH1004 of my God,H430 overH5921 and aboveH4605 allH3605 that I have preparedH3559 for the holyH6944 house.H1004
4
Even threeH7969 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of gold,H2091 of the goldH2091 of Ophir,H211 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of refinedH2212 silver,H3701 to overlayH2902 the wallsH7023 of the housesH1004 with:
5
The goldH2091 for things of gold,H2091 and the silverH3701 for things of silver,H3701 and for allH3605 manner of workH4399 to be made by the handsH3027 of artificers.H2796 And whoH4310 then is willingH5068 to consecrateH4390 H3027 his serviceH3027 this dayH3117 to the LORD?H3068
6
Then the chiefH8269 of the fathersH1 and princesH8269 of the tribesH7626 of Israel H3478and the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundreds,H3967 with the rulersH8269 of the king'sH4428 work,H4399 offered willingly,H5068
7
And gaveH5414 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430 of goldH2091 fiveH2568 thousandH505 talentsH3603 and tenH7239 thousandH7239 drams,H150 and of silverH3701 tenH6235 thousandH505 talents,H3603 and of brassH5178 eighteenH7239 H8083 thousandH7239 H505 talents,H3603 and one hundredH3967 thousandH7239 H505 talentsH3603 of iron.H1270
8
And they with whomH834 precious stonesH68 were foundH4672 gaveH5414 them to the treasureH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 by the handH3027 of JehielH3171 the Gershonite.H1649
9
Then the peopleH5971 rejoiced,H8055 for that they offered willingly,H5068 becauseH3588 with perfectH8003 heartH3820 they offered willinglyH5068 to the LORD:H3068 and DavidH1732 the kingH4428 alsoH1571 rejoicedH8055 with greatH1419 joy.H8057
10
Why DavidH1732 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 beforeH5869 allH3605 the congregation:H6951 and DavidH1732 said,H559 BlessedH1288 be you, LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 our father,H25 for everH5769 and ever.H5769
11
Yours, O LORD H3068is the greatness,H1420 and the power,H1369 and the glory,H8597 and the victory,H5331 and the majesty:H1935 for allH3605 that is in the heavenH8064 and in the earthH776 is yours; your is the kingdom,H4467 O LORD,H3068 and you are exaltedH5375 as headH7218 above all.H3605
12
Both richesH6239 and honorH3519 come of you, and you reignH4910 overH4605 all;H3605 and in your handH3027 is powerH3581 and might;H1369 and in your handH3027 it is to make great,H1431 and to give strengthH2388 to all.H3605
13
NowH6258 therefore, our God,H430 we thankH3034 you, and praiseH1984 your gloriousH8597 name.H8034
14
But whoH4310 am I, and whatH4310 is my people,H5971 that we should be ableH6113 H3581 to offer so willinglyH5068 after thisH2063 sort? for allH3605 things come of you, and of your own have we givenH5414 you.
15
For we are strangersH1616 beforeH6440 you, and sojourners,H8453 as were allH3605 our fathers:H1 our daysH3117 onH5921 the earthH776 are as a shadow,H6738 and there is noneH369 abiding.H4723
16
O LORDH3068 our God,H430 allH3605 thisH2088 storeH1995 that we have preparedH3559 to buildH1129 you an houseH1004 for your holyH6944 nameH8034 comes of your hand,H3027 and is allH3605 your own.
17
I knowH3045 also, my God,H430 that you tryH974 the heart,H3824 and have pleasureH7521 in uprightness.H3476 As for me, in the uprightnessH4339 of my heartH3824 I have willinglyH5068 offered allH3605 theseH428 things: and nowH6258 have I seenH7200 with joyH8057 your people,H5971 which are presentH4672 here,H6311 to offer willinglyH5068 to you.
18
O LORDH3068 GodH430 of Abraham,H85 Isaac,H3327 and of Israel,H3478 our fathers,H1 keepH8104 thisH2063 for everH5769 in the imaginationH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of the heartH3824 of your people,H5971 and prepareH3559 their heartH3824 to you:
19
And giveH5414 to SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 a perfectH8003 heart,H3824 to keepH8104 your commandments,H4687 your testimonies,H5715 and your statutes,H2706 and to doH6213 allH3605 these things, and to buildH1129 the palace,H1002 for the whichH834 I have made provision.H3559
20
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to allH3605 the congregation,H6951 NowH4994 blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your God.H430 And allH3605 the congregationH6951 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathers,H1 and bowedH6915 downH6915 their heads,H7218 and worshippedH7812 the LORD,H3068 and the king.H4428
21
And they sacrificedH2076 sacrificesH2077 to the LORD,H3068 and offeredH5927 burntH5930 offerings to the LORD,H3068 on the morrowH4283 after that day,H3117 even a thousandH505 bullocks,H6499 a thousandH505 rams,H352 and a thousandH505 lambs,H3532 with their drinkH5262 offerings, and sacrificesH2077 in abundanceH7230 for allH3605 Israel:H3478
22
And did eatH398 and drinkH8354 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 on that dayH3117 with greatH1419 gladness.H8057 And they made SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 the secondH8145 time, and anointedH4886 him to the LORDH3068 to be the chiefH5057 governor,H5057 and ZadokH6659 to be priest.H3548
23
Then SolomonH8010 satH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of the LORDH3068 as kingH4428 insteadH8478 of DavidH1732 his father,H25 and prospered;H6743 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 obeyedH8085 him.
24
And allH3605 the princes,H8269 and the mightyH1368 men, and allH3605 the sonsH1121 likewiseH1571 of kingH4428 David,H1732 submittedH5414 H3027 themselves to SolomonH8010 the king.H4428
25
And the LORDH3068 magnifiedH1431 SolomonH8010 exceedinglyH4605 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 Israel,H3478 and bestowedH5414 on him such royalH4438 majestyH1935 as hadH1961 not beenH1961 onH5921 anyH3605 kingH4428 beforeH6440 him in Israel.H3478
26
Thus DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 reignedH4427 overH5921 allH3605 Israel.H3478
27
And the timeH3117 that he reignedH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 was fortyH705 years;H8141 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in Hebron,H2275 and thirtyH7970 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in Jerusalem.H3389
28
And he diedH4191 in a goodH2896 oldH7872 age,H7872 fullH7646 of days,H3117 riches,H6239 and honor:H3519 and SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
29
Now the actsH1697 of DavidH1732 the king,H4428 firstH7223 and last,H314 behold,H2009 they are writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of SamuelH8050 the seer,H7200 and in the bookH1697 of NathanH5416 the prophet,H5030 and in the bookH1697 of GadH1410 the seer,H2374
30
With allH3605 his reignH4438 and his might,H1369 and the times that wentH5674 overH5674 him, and overH5921 Israel,H3478 and overH5921 allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the countries.H776
