1. 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].

2. 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[H7553], and of divers colors, and all manner of precious[H3368] stones[H68], and marble[H7893] stones[H68] in abundance[H7230].

3. Moreover also[H7521], because I have set my affection 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],

4. 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];

5. 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]?

6. Then the princes[H8269] of the fathers[H1]' houses[H8269], and the princes 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[H4428]'s work[H4399], offered willingly[H5068];

7. 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[H3701], and of silver 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].

8. 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].

9. 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].

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

11. Thine[H3068], O Jehovah, 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[H4467]; thine is the kingdom, O Jehovah[H3068], and thou art exalted[H4984] as head above all[H7218].

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

13. Now therefore[H430], our God, we thank[H3034] thee[H1984], and praise thy glorious[H8597] name[H8034].

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

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

16. 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.

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

18. 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 unto thee[H3824];

19. 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[H1129], and to build the palace[H1002], for which I have made provision[H3559].

20. 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].

21. 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],

22. 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].

23. 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 him[H8085].

24. 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].

25. 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].

26. Now David[H1732] the son[H1121] of Jesse[H3448] reigned[H4427] over all Israel[H3478].

27. 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].

28. 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 in his stead[H4427].

29. Now the acts[H1697] of David[H1732] the king[H4428], first[H7223] and last[H314], behold[H3789], they are written 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],

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