Offerings
for the Temple |
|
|
 |
1 Chronicles 29:1
|
|
Then King David said to the entire assembly,
"My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is still young and inexperienced and
the work is great; for the temple is not for man, but for the LORD God. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:2 |
|
Now with all my ability I have provided for
the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things
of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of
iron, and wood for the things of wood, onyx stones and inlaid stones, stones of
antimony and stones of various colors, and all kinds of precious stones and alabaster
in abundance. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:3 |
|
Moreover, in my delight in the house of my God,
the treasure I have of gold and silver, I give to the house of my God, over and
above all that I have already provided for the holy ttemple, |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:4 |
|
namely, 3,000 talents of gold, of the gold of
Ophir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings; |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:5 |
|
of gold for the things of gold and of silver
for the things of silver, that is, for all the work done by the craftsmen. Who
then is willing to consecrate himself this day to the LORD?" |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:6 |
|
Then the rulers of the fathers' households,
and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and of
hundreds, with the overseers over the king's work, offered willingly; |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:7 |
|
and for the service for the house of God they
gave 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, and 10,000 talents of silver, and
18,000 talents of brass, and 100,000 talents of iron. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:8 |
|
Whoever possessed precious stones gave them
to the treasury of the house of the LORD, in care of Jehiel the Gershonite. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:9 |
|
Then the people rejoiced because they had offered
so willingly, for they made their offering to the LORD with a whole heart, and
King David also rejoiced greatly. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
David's
Prayer |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:10 |
|
So David blessed the LORD in the sight of all
the assembly; and David said, "Blessed are You, O LORD God of Israel our father,
forever and ever. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:11 |
|
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the
heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt Yourself as
head over all. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:12 |
|
Both riches and honor come from You, and You
rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to
make great and to strengthen everyone. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:13 |
|
Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise
Your glorious name. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:14 |
|
"But who am I and who are my people that we
should be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and
from Your hand we have given You. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:15 |
|
For we are sojourners before You, and tenants,
as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is
no hope. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:16 |
|
O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have
provided to build You a house for Your holy name, it is from Your hand, and all
is Yours. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:17 |
|
Since I know, O my God, that You try the heart
and delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered
all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here,
make their offerings willingly to You. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:18 |
|
O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel,
our fathers, preserve this forever in the intentions of the heart of Your people,
and direct their heart to You; |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:19 |
|
and give to my son Solomon a perfect heart to
keep Your commandments, Your testimonies and Your statutes, and to do them all,
and to build the temple, for which I have made provision." |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:20 |
|
Then David said to all the assembly, "Now bless
the LORD your God." And all the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers,
and bowed low and did homage to the LORD and to the king. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Sacrifices |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:21 |
|
On the next day they made sacrifices to the
LORD and offered burnt offerings to the LORD, 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams and 1,000
lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:22 |
|
So they ate and drank that day before the LORD
with great gladness. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Solomon
Again Made King |
| |
|
|
| |
|
And
they made Solomon the son of David king a second time, and they anointed him as
ruler for the LORD and Zadok as priest. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:23 |
|
Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as
king instead of David his father; and he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:24 |
|
All the officials, the mighty men, and also
all the sons of King David pledged allegiance to King Solomon. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:25 |
|
The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight
of all Israel, and bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king
before him in Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:26 |
|
Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all
Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:27 |
|
The period which he reigned over Israel was
forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven years and in Jerusalem thirty-three years.
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
Death
of David |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:28 |
|
Then he died in a ripe old age, full of days,
riches and honor; and his son Solomon reigned in his place. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:29 |
|
Now the acts of King David, from first to last,
are written in the chronicles of Samuel the seer, in the chronicles of Nathan
the prophet and in the chronicles of Gad the seer, |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 29:30 |
|
with all his reign, his power, and the circumstances
which came on him, on Israel, and on all the kingdoms of the lands. |
