[1] David the king said to all the assembly, “Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for Yahweh God. [2] Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, the bronze for the things of bronze, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, also onyx stones, stones to be set, stones for inlaid work of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance. [3] In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, since I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house: [4] even three thousand talents of gold,ⓘ of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talentsⓘ of refined silver, with which to overlay the walls of the houses; [5] of gold for the things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be made by the hands of artisans. Who then offers willingly to consecrate himself today to Yahweh?” [6] Then the princes of the fathers’ households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king’s work, offered willingly; [7] and they gave for the service of God’s house of gold five thousand talentsⓘ and ten thousand darics,ⓘ of silver ten thousand talents, of bronze eighteen thousand talents, and of iron one hundred thousand talents. [8] People with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of Yahweh’s house, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. [9] Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to Yahweh; and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. [10] Therefore David blessed Yahweh before all the assembly; and David said, “You are blessed, Yahweh, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. [11] Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all. [12] Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all! [13] Now therefore, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name. [14] But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and we have given you of your own. [15] For we are strangers before you and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining. [16] Yahweh our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own. [17] I know also, my God, that you try the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you. [18] Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you; [19] and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.” [20] Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless Yahweh your God!”All the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before Yahweh and the king. [21] They sacrificed sacrifices to Yahweh and offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel, [22] and ate and drank before Yahweh on that day with great gladness. They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him before Yahweh to be prince, and Zadok to be priest. [23] Then Solomon sat on the throne of Yahweh as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. [24] All the princes, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of King David submitted themselves to Solomon the king. [25] Yahweh magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and gave to him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel. [26] Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. [27] The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem. [28] He died at a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place. [29] Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer, [30] with all his reign and his might, and the events that involved him, Israel, and all the kingdoms of the lands.

King James Version
[1] Furthermore David H1732 the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) unto all the congregation, H6951 Solomon H8010 my son, H1121 whom alone H259 God H430 hath chosen, H977 (QalPerf) 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 the Lord H3068 God. H430 [2] Now I have prepared H3559 (HiphPerf) with all my might H3581 for the house H1004 of my God H430 the gold H2091 for things to be made of gold, H2091 and the silver H3701 for things of silver, H3701 and the brass H5178 for things of brass, H5178 the iron H1270 for things of iron, H1270 and wood H6086 for things of wood; H6086 onyx H7718 stones, H68 and stones to be set, H4394 glistering H6320 stones, H68 and of divers colours, H7553 and all manner of precious H3368 stones, H68 and marble H7893 stones H68 in abundance. H7230 [3] Moreover, because I have set my affection H7521 (QalInf) to the house H1004 of my God, H430 I have H3426 of mine own proper good, H5459 of gold H2091 and silver, H3701 which I have given H5414 (QalPerf) to the house H1004 of my God, H430 over and above H4605 all that I have prepared H3559 (HiphPerf) 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 (PualPtc) silver, H3701 to overlay H2902 (QalInf) the walls H7023 of the houses H1004 withal: [5] the gold H2091 for things of gold, H2091 and the silver H3701 for things of silver, H3701 and for all manner of work H4399 to be made by the hands H3027 of artificers. H2796 And who then is willing H5068 (HithPtc) to consecrate H4390 (PielInf) his service H3027§ this day H3117 unto the Lord? H3068 [6] Then the chief H8269 of the fathers H1 and princes H8269 of the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 and the captains H8269 of thousands H505 and of hundreds, H3967 with the rulers H8269 of the king’s H4428 work, H4399 offered willingly, H5068 (HithImpf) [7] and gave H5414 (QalImpf) for the service H5656 of the house H1004 of God H430 of gold H2091 five H2568 thousand H505 talents H3603 and ten thousand H7239 drams, H150 and of silver H3701 ten H6235 thousand H505 talents, H3603 and of brass H5178 eighteen H8083 thousand H505 talents, H3603 and one hundred H3967 thousand H505 talents H3603 of iron. H1270 [8] And they with whom precious stones H68 were found H4672 (NiphPtc) gave H5414 (QalPerf) them to the treasure H214 of the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 by the hand H3027 of Jehiel H3171 the Gershonite. H1649 [9] Then the people H5971 rejoiced, H8055 (QalImpf) for that they offered willingly, H5068 (HithInf) because with perfect H8003 heart H3820 they offered willingly H5068 (HithPerf) to the Lord: H3068 and David H1732 the king H4428 also rejoiced H8055 (QalPerf) with great H1419 joy.

Gives Thanks to God

[10] Wherefore David H1732 blessed H1288 (PielImpf) the Lord H3068 before H5869 all the congregation: H6951 and David H1732 said, H559 (QalImpf) Blessed H1288 (QalPasPtc) be thou, Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 our father, H1 for H5704 ever H5769 and ever. H5769 [11] Thine, O Lord, H3068 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 heaven H8064 and in the earth H776 is thine; thine is the kingdom, H4467 O Lord, H3068 and thou art exalted H4984 (HithPtc) as head H7218 above all. [12] Both riches H6239 and honour H3519 come of thee, H6440 and thou reignest H4910 (QalActPtc) over all; and in thine hand H3027 is power H3581 and might; H1369 and in thine hand H3027 it is to make great, H1431 (PielInf) and to give strength H2388 (PielInf) unto all. [13] Now therefore, our God, H430 we thank H3034 (HiphPtc) thee, and praise H1984 (PielPtc) thy glorious H8597 name. H8034 [14] But who am I, and what is my people, H5971 that we should be H6113 (QalImpf) able H3581§ to offer so willingly H5068 (HithInf) after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own H3027 have we given H5414 (QalPerf) thee. [15] For we are strangers H1616 before H6440 thee, and sojourners, H8453 as were all our fathers: H1 our days H3117 on the earth H776 are as a shadow, H6738 and there is none abiding.§ H4723 [16] O Lord H3068 our God, H430 all this store H1995 that we have prepared H3559 (HiphPerf) to build H1129 (QalInf) thee an house H1004 for thine holy H6944 name H8034 cometh of thine hand, H3027 and is all thine own. [17] I know H3045 (QalPerf) also, my God, H430 that thou triest H974 (QalActPtc) the heart, H3824 and hast pleasure H7521 (QalImpf) in uprightness. H3476 As for me, in the uprightness H4339 of mine heart H3824 I have willingly offered H5068 (HithPerf) all these things: and now have I seen H7200 (QalPerf) with joy H8057 thy people, H5971 which are present H4672 (NiphPerf)§ here, to offer willingly H5068 (HithInf) unto thee. [18] O Lord H3068 God H430 of Abraham, H85 Isaac, H3327 and of Israel, H3478 our fathers, H1 keep H8104 (QalImpv) this for ever H5769 in the imagination H3336 of the thoughts H4284 of the heart H3824 of thy people, H5971 and prepare H3559 (HiphImpv)§ their heart H3824 unto thee: [19] and give H5414 (QalImpv) unto Solomon H8010 my son H1121 a perfect H8003 heart, H3824 to keep H8104 (QalInf) thy commandments, H4687 thy testimonies, H5715 and thy statutes, H2706 and to do H6213 (QalInf) all these things, and to build H1129 (QalInf) the palace, H1002 for the which I have made provision. H3559 (HiphPerf) [20] And David H1732 said H559 (QalImpf) to all the congregation, H6951 Now bless H1288 (PielImpv) the Lord H3068 your God. H430 And all the congregation H6951 blessed H1288 (PielImpf) the Lord H3068 God H430 of their fathers, H1 and bowed down their heads, H6915 (QalImpf) and worshipped H7812 (HithImpf) the Lord, H3068 and the king. H4428 [21] And they sacrificed H2076 (QalImpf) sacrifices H2077 unto the Lord, H3068 and offered H5927 (HiphImpf) burnt offerings H5930 unto the Lord, H3068 on the morrow H4283 after that day, H3117 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 (QalImpf) and drink H8354 (QalImpf) before H6440 the Lord H3068 on that day H3117 with great H1419 gladness. H8057And they made Solomon H8010 the son H1121 of David H1732 king H4427 (HiphImpf) the second time, H8145 and anointed H4886 (QalImpf) him unto the Lord H3068 to be the chief governor, H5057 and Zadok H6659 to be priest. H3548 [23] Then Solomon H8010 sat on H3427 (QalImpf) the throne H3678 of the Lord H3068 as king H4428 instead of David H1732 his father, H1 and prospered; H6743 (HiphImpf) and all Israel H3478 obeyed H8085 (QalImpf) him. [24] And all the princes, H8269 and the mighty men, H1368 and all the sons H1121 likewise of king H4428 David, H1732 submitted themselves H5414 (QalPerf) unto Solomon H8010§ the king. H4428 [25] And the Lord H3068 magnified H1431 (PielImpf) Solomon H8010 exceedingly H4605 in the sight H5869 of all Israel, H3478 and bestowed H5414 (QalImpf) upon him such royal H4438 majesty H1935 as had not been on any king H4428 before H6440 him in Israel. H3478 [26] Thus David H1732 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 reigned H4427 (QalPerf) over all Israel. H3478 [27] And the time H3117 that he reigned H4427 (QalPerf) over Israel H3478 was forty H705 years; H8141 seven H7651 years H8141 reigned H4427 (QalPerf) he in Hebron, H2275 and thirty H7970 and three H7969 years reigned H4427 (QalPerf) he in Jerusalem. H3389 [28] And he died H4191 (QalImpf) in a good H2896 old age, H7872 full H7649 of days, H3117 riches, H6239 and honour: H3519 and Solomon H8010 his son H1121 reigned H4427 (QalImpf) in his stead. [29] Now the acts H1697 of David H1732 the king, H4428 first H7223 and last, H314 behold, they are written H3789 (QalPasPtc) in the book H1697§ of Samuel H8050 the seer, H7200 (QalActPtc) and in the book H1697§ of Nathan H5416 the prophet, H5030 and in the book 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 (QalPerf) him, and over Israel, H3478 and over all the kingdoms H4467 of the countries.
