1 Chronicles 29:1
|
|
Furthermore David the king said unto all the
congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender,
and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:2 |
|
Now I have prepared with all my might for the
house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things
of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and
wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones,
and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in
abundance. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:3 |
|
Moreover, because I have set my affection to
the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which
I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for
the holy house. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:4 |
|
Even three thousand talents of gold, of the
gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls
of the houses withal: |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:5 |
|
The gold for things of gold, and the silver
for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers.
And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD? |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:6 |
|
Then the chief of the fathers and princes of
the tribes of Israel and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers
of the king's work, offered willingly, |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:7 |
|
And gave for the service of the house of God
of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand
talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents
of iron. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:8 |
|
And they with whom precious stones were found
gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the
Gershonite. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:9 |
|
Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered
willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and
David the king also rejoiced with great joy. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:10 |
|
Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all
the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father,
for ever and ever. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:11 |
|
Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power,
and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven
and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted
as head above all. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:12 |
|
Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou
reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it
is to make great, and to give strength unto all. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:13 |
|
Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and
praise thy glorious name. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:14 |
|
But who am I, and what is my people, that we
should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee,
and of thine own have we given thee. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:15 |
|
For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners,
as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none
abiding. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:16 |
|
O LORD our God, all this store that we have
prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and
is all thine own. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:17 |
|
I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart,
and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart
I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people,
which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:18 |
|
O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel,
our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart
of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee: |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:19 |
|
And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart,
to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these
things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:20 |
|
And David said to all the congregation, Now
bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their
fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:21 |
|
And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD,
and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even
a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings,
and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel: |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:22 |
|
And did eat and drink before the LORD on that
day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second
time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be
priest. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:23 |
|
Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD
as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:24 |
|
And all the princes, and the mighty men, and
all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:25 |
|
And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in
the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been
on any king before him in Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:26 |
|
Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all
Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:27 |
|
And the time that he reigned over Israel was
forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned
he in Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:28 |
|
And he died in a good old age, full of days,
riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:29 |
|
Now the acts of David the king, first and last,
behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan
the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer, |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:30 |
|
With all his reign and his might, and the times
that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries. |
