World English Bible Classic
[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.

[12] Both richesH6239 and honourH3519 [come] of thee,H6440 and thou reignestH4910(QalActPtc) over all; and in thine handH3027 [is] powerH3581 and might;H1369 and in thine handH3027 [it is] to make great,H1431(PielInf) and to give strengthH2388(PielInf) unto all. [13] Now therefore, our God,H430 we thankH3034(HiphPtc) thee, and praiseH1984(PielPtc) thy gloriousH8597 name.H8034 [14] But who [am] I, and what [is] my people,H5971 that we should beH6113(QalImpf) ableH3581 to offer so willinglyH5068(HithInf) after this sort? for all things [come] of thee, and of thine ownH3027 have we givenH5414(QalPerf) thee. [15] For we [are] strangersH1616 beforeH6440 thee, and sojourners,H8453 as [were] all our fathers:H1 our daysH3117 on the earthH776 [are] as a shadow,H6738 and [there is] none abiding.H4723 [16] O LordH3068 our God,H430 all this storeH1995 that we have preparedH3559(HiphPerf) to buildH1129(QalInf) thee an houseH1004 for thine holyH6944 nameH8034 [cometh] of thine hand,H3027 and [is] all thine own. [17] I knowH3045(QalPerf) also, my God,H430 that thou triestH974(QalActPtc) the heart,H3824 and hast pleasureH7521(QalImpf) in uprightness.H3476 As for me, in the uprightnessH4339 of mine heartH3824 I have willingly offeredH5068(HithPerf) all these things: and now have I seenH7200(QalPerf) with joyH8057 thy people,H5971 which are presentH4672(NiphPerf) here, to offer willinglyH5068(HithInf) unto thee. [18] O LordH3068 GodH430 of Abraham,H85 Isaac,H3327 and of Israel,H3478 our fathers,H1 keepH8104(QalImpv) this for everH5769 in the imaginationH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of the heartH3824 of thy people,H5971 and prepareH3559(HiphImpv) their heartH3824 unto thee: [19] And giveH5414(QalImpv) unto SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 a perfectH8003 heart,H3824 to keepH8104(QalInf) thy commandments,H4687 thy testimonies,H5715 and thy statutes,H2706 and to doH6213(QalInf) all [these things], and to buildH1129(QalInf) the palace,H1002 [for] the which I have made provision.H3559(HiphPerf) [20] And DavidH1732 saidH559(QalImpf) to all the congregation,H6951 Now blessH1288(PielImpv) the LordH3068 your God.H430 And all the congregationH6951 blessedH1288(PielImpf) the LordH3068 GodH430 of their fathers,H1 and bowed down their heads,H6915(QalImpf) and worshippedH7812(HithImpf) the Lord,H3068 and the king.H4428 [21] And they sacrificedH2076(QalImpf) sacrificesH2077 unto the Lord,H3068 and offeredH5927(HiphImpf) burnt offeringsH5930 unto 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 drink offerings,H5262 and sacrificesH2077 in abundanceH7230 for all Israel:H3478 [22] And did eatH398(QalImpf) and drinkH8354(QalImpf) beforeH6440 the LordH3068 on that dayH3117 with greatH1419 gladness.H8057 And they made SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4427(HiphImpf) the second time,H8145 and anointedH4886(QalImpf) [him] unto the LordH3068 [to be] the chief governor,H5057 and ZadokH6659 [to be] priest.H3548 [23] Then SolomonH8010 sat onH3427(QalImpf) the throneH3678 of the LordH3068 as kingH4428 instead of DavidH1732 his father,H1 and prospered;H6743(HiphImpf) and all IsraelH3478 obeyedH8085(QalImpf) him. [24] And all the princes,H8269 and the mighty men,H1368 and all the sonsH1121 likewise of kingH4428 David,H1732 submitted themselvesH5414(QalPerf) unto SolomonH8010 the king.H4428 [25] And the LordH3068 magnifiedH1431(PielImpf) SolomonH8010 exceedinglyH4605 in the sightH5869 of all Israel,H3478 and bestowedH5414(QalImpf) upon him [such] royalH4438 majestyH1935 as had not been on any kingH4428 beforeH6440 him in Israel.H3478 [26] Thus DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 reignedH4427(QalPerf) over all Israel.H3478 [27] And the timeH3117 that he reignedH4427(QalPerf) over IsraelH3478 [was] fortyH705 years;H8141 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 reignedH4427(QalPerf) he in Hebron,H2275 and thirtyH7970 and threeH7969 [years] reignedH4427(QalPerf) he in Jerusalem.H3389 [28] And he diedH4191(QalImpf) in a goodH2896 old age,H7872 fullH7649 of days,H3117 riches,H6239 and honour:H3519 and SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 reignedH4427(QalImpf) in his stead. [29] Now the actsH1697 of DavidH1732 the king,H4428 firstH7223 and last,H314 behold, they [are] writtenH3789(QalPasPtc) in the bookH1697 of SamuelH8050 the seer,H7200(QalActPtc) and in the bookH1697 of NathanH5416 the prophet,H5030 and in the bookH1697 of GadH1410 the seer,H2374 [30] With all his reignH4438 and his might,H1369 and the timesH6256 that went overH5674(QalPerf) him, and over Israel,H3478 and over all the kingdomsH4467 of the countries.H776
