1 Chronicles 29

1 David, by his example and intreaty, 6 causeth the princes and people to offer willingly. 10 David's thanksgiving and prayer. 20 The people, having blessed God, and sacrificed, make Solomon king. 26 David's reign and death.

 29:1 Then King 4428 David 1732 said 559 to the entire 3605 assembly 6951, “My son 1121 Solomon 8010, whom alone 259 God 430 has chosen 977, is still young 5288 and inexperienced 7390 and the work 4399 is great 1419; for the temple 1002 is not for man 120, but for the LORD 3068 God 430.

 29:2 “Now with all 3605 my ability 3581b I have provided 3559 for the house 1004 of my God 430 the gold 2091 for the [things of] gold 2091, and the silver 3701 for the [things of] silver 3701, and the bronze 5178 for the [things of] bronze 5178, the iron 1270 for the [things of] iron 1270, and wood 6086 for the [things of] wood 6086, onyx 7718 stones 68 and inlaid 4394 [stones], stones 68 of antimony 6320 and stones 7553 of various 7553 colors 7553, and all 3605 kinds of precious 3368 stones 68 and alabaster 7893 in abundance 7230.

 29:3 “Moreover 5750, in my delight 7521 in the house 1004 of my God 430, the treasure 5459 I have 3426 of gold 2091 and silver 3701, I give 5414 to the house 1004 of my God 430, over 4605 and above 4480 4605 all 3605 that I have already provided 3559 for the holy 6944 temple 1004,

 29:4 [namely], 3,000 7969 505 talents 3603 of gold 2091, of the gold 2091 of Ophir 211, and 7,000 7651 505 talents 3603 of refined 2212 silver 3701, to overlay 2902 the walls 7023 of the buildings 1004;

 29:5 of gold 2091 for the [things of] gold 2091 and of silver 3701 for the [things of] silver 3701, that is, for all 3605 the work 4399 done 3027 by the craftsmen 2796. Who 4310 then is willing 5068 to consecrate 4390 3027 himself this day 3117 to the LORD 3068?”

 29:6 ¶ Then the rulers 8269 of the fathers’ 1 [households], and the princes 8269 of the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478, and the commanders 8269 of thousands 505 and of hundreds 3967, with the overseers 8269 over the king’s 4428 work 4399, offered 5068 willingly 5068;

 29:7 and for the service 5656 for the house 1004 of God 430 they gave 5414 5,000 2568 505 talents 3603 and 10,000 6235 505 darics 150 of gold 2091, and 10,000 6235 505 talents 3603 of silver 3701, and 18,000 8083 7239 505 talents 3603 of brass 5178, and 100,000 3967 505 talents 3603 of iron 1270.

 29:8 Whoever possessed 4672 [precious] stones 68 gave 5414 them to the treasury 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, in care 3027 of Jehiel 3171 the Gershonite 1649.

 29:9 Then the people 5971a rejoiced 8055 because 5921 they had offered 5068 so willingly 5068, for they made 5068 their offering 5068 to the LORD 3068 with a whole 8003 heart 3820, and King 4428 David 1732 also 1571 rejoiced 8055 greatly 1419.

 29:10 ¶ So David 1732 blessed 1288 the LORD 3068 in the sight 5869 of all 3605 the assembly 6951; and David 1732 said 559, “Blessed 1288 are You, O LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 our father 1, forever 5769 and ever 5769.

 29:11 “Yours, O LORD 3068, is the greatness 1420 and the power 1369 and the glory 8597 and the victory 5331 and the majesty 1935, indeed 3588 everything 3605 that is in the heavens 8064 and the earth 776; Yours is the dominion 4467, O LORD 3068, and You exalt 5375 Yourself as head 7218 over all 3605.

 29:12 “Both riches 6239 and honor 3519b [come] from You, and You rule 4910 over all 3605, and in Your hand 3027 is power 3581b and might 1369; and it lies in Your hand 3027 to make 1431 great 1431 and to strengthen 2388 everyone 3605.

 29:13 “Now 6258 therefore, our God 430, we thank 3034 You, and praise 1984b Your glorious 8597 name 8034.

 29:14 ¶ “But who 4310 am I and who 4310 are my people 5971a that we should be able 6113 3581b to offer 5068 as generously as this 2088? For all 3605 things 3605 come from You, and from Your hand 3027 we have given 5414 You.

 29:15 “For we are sojourners 1616 before 6440 You, and tenants 8453, as all 3605 our fathers 1 were; our days 3117 on the earth 776 are like a shadow 6738, and there 369 is no 369 hope 4723a.

 29:16 “O LORD 3068 our God 430, all 3605 this 2088 abundance 1995 that we have provided 3559 to build 1129 You a house 1004 for Your holy 6944 name 8034, it is from Your hand 3027, and all 3605 is Yours.

 29:17 “Since I know 3045, O my God 430, that You try 974 the heart 3824 and delight 7521 in uprightness 4339, I, in the integrity 3476 of my heart 3824, have willingly 5068 offered 5068 all 3605 these 428 [things]; so now 6258 with joy 8057 I have seen 7200 Your people 5971a, who are present 4672 here 6311, make 5068 [their] offerings 5068 willingly 5068 to You.

 29:18 “O LORD 3068, the God 430 of Abraham 85, Isaac 3327 and Israel 3478, our fathers 1, preserve 8104 this 2088 forever 5769 in the intentions 3336 4284 of the heart 3824 of Your people 5971a, and direct 3559 their heart 3824 to You;

 29:19 and give 5414 to my son 1121 Solomon 8010 a perfect 8003 heart 3824 to keep 8104 Your commandments 4687, Your testimonies 5715 and Your statutes 2706, and to do 6213a [them] all 3605, and to build 1129 the temple 1002, for which 834 I have made 3559 provision 3559.”

 29:20 ¶ Then David 1732 said 559 to all 3605 the assembly 6951, “Now 4994 bless 1288 the LORD 3068 your God 430.” And all 3605 the assembly 6951 blessed 1288 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of their fathers 1, and bowed 6915 low 6915 and did 7812 homage 7812 to the LORD 3068 and to the king 4428.

 29:21 On the next 4283 day 3117 they made 2076 sacrifices 2077 to the LORD 3068 and offered 5927 burnt 5930a offerings 5930a to the LORD 3068, 1,000 505 bulls 6499, 1,000 505 rams 352a [and] 1,000 505 lambs 3532, with their drink 5262a offerings 5262a and sacrifices 2077 in abundance 7230 for all 3605 Israel 3478.

 29:22 So they ate 398 and drank 8354 that day 3117 before 6440 the LORD 3068 with great 1419 gladness 8057. ¶ And they made 4427a Solomon 8010 the son 1121 of David 1732 king 4427a a second 8145 time 8145, and they anointed 4886 [him] as ruler 5057 for the LORD 3068 and Zadok 6659 as priest 3548.

 29:23 Then Solomon 8010 sat 3427 on the throne 3678 of the LORD 3068 as king 4428 instead 8478 of David 1732 his father 1; and he prospered 6743b, and all 3605 Israel 3478 obeyed 8085 him.

 29:24 All 3605 the officials 8269, the mighty 1368 men 1368, and also 1571 all 3605 the sons 1121 of King 4428 David 1732 pledged 5414 allegiance 3027 8478 to King 4428 Solomon 8010.

 29:25 The LORD 3068 highly 4605 exalted 1431 Solomon 8010 in the sight 5869 of all 3605 Israel 3478, and bestowed 5414 on him royal 4438 majesty 1935 which 834 had 1961 not been 1961 on any 3605 king 4428 before 6440 him in Israel 3478.

 29:26 ¶ Now David 1732 the son 1121 of Jesse 3448 reigned 4427a over 5921 all 3605 Israel 3478.

 29:27 The period 3117 which 834 he reigned 4427a over 5921 Israel 3478 [was] forty 705 years 8141; he reigned 4427a in Hebron 2275a seven 7651 years 8141 and in Jerusalem 3389 thirty-three 7970 7969 [years].

 29:28 Then he died 4191 in a ripe 2896a old 7872 age 7872, full 7649 of days 3117, riches 6239 and honor 3519b; and his son 1121 Solomon 8010 reigned 4427a in his place 8478.

 29:29 Now the acts 1697 of King 4428 David 1732, from first 7223 to last 314, are written 3789 in the chronicles 1697 of Samuel 8050 the seer 7203a, in the chronicles 1697 of Nathan 5416 the prophet 5030 and in the chronicles 1697 of Gad 1410 the seer 2374,

 29:30 with all 3605 his reign 4438, his power 1369, and the circumstances 6256 which 834 came 5674a on him, on Israel 3478, and on all 3605 the kingdoms 4467 of the lands 776.
