1. Then King David said to all the assembly, "My son Solomon-- God has chosen him alone-- is young and inexperienced. The task is great, for the temple will not be for man, but for the LORD God.
|
1. Furthermore David H1732 the king H4428 said H559 unto all H3605 the congregation H6951 , Solomon H8010 my son H1121 , whom alone H259 God H430 hath chosen H977 , is yet young H5288 and tender H7390 , and the work H4399 is great H1419 : for H3588 the palace H1002 is not H3808 for man H120 , but H3588 for the LORD H3068 God H430 .
|
|
2. So to the best of my ability I've made provision for the house of my God: gold for the gold articles, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood, as well as onyx, stones for mounting, antimony, stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and a great quantity of marble.
|
2. Now I have prepared H3559 with all H3605 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 colors H7553 , and all manner H3605 of precious H3368 stones H68 , and marble H7893 stones H68 in abundance H7230 .
|
|
3. Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the house of my God over and above all that I've provided for the holy house:
|
3. Moreover H5750 , because I have set my affection H7521 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 to the house H1004 of my God H430 , over H4605 and above all H4480 H3605 that I have prepared H3559 for the holy H6944 house H1004 ,
|
|
4. 100 tons of gold (gold of Ophir) and 250 tons of refined silver for overlaying the walls of the buildings,
|
4. Even three H7969 thousand H505 talents H3603 of gold H2091 , of the gold H4480 H2091 of Ophir H211 , and seven H7651 thousand H505 talents H3603 of refined H2212 silver H3701 , to overlay H2902 the walls H7023 of the houses H1004 withal :
|
|
5. the gold for the gold work and the silver for the silver, for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now, who will volunteer to consecrate himself to the LORD today?"
|
5. The gold H2091 for things of gold H2091 , and the silver H3701 for things of silver H3701 , and for all manner H3605 of work H4399 to be made by the hands H3027 of artificers H2796 . And who H4310 then is willing H5068 to consecrate his service H4390 H3027 this day H3117 unto the LORD H3068 ?
|
|
6. Then the leaders of the households, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king's work gave willingly.
|
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 H4428 's work H4399 , offered willingly H5068 ,
|
|
7. For the service of God's house they gave 185 tons of gold and 10,000 gold drachmas, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 4,000 tons of iron.
|
7. And gave H5414 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 thousand H7239 H8083 H505 talents H3603 , and one hundred H3967 thousand H505 talents H3603 of iron H1270 .
|
|
8. Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the LORD's house under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.
|
8. And they with H854 whom precious stones H68 were found H4672 gave H5414 them to the treasure H214 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , by H5921 the hand H3027 of Jehiel H3171 the Gershonite H1649 .
|
|
9. Then the people rejoiced because of their leaders' willingness to give, for they had given to the LORD with a whole heart. King David also rejoiced greatly.
|
9. Then the people H5971 rejoiced H8055 , for H5921 that they offered willingly H5068 , because H3588 with perfect H8003 heart H3820 they offered willingly H5068 to the LORD H3068 : and David H1732 the king H4428 also H1571 rejoiced H8055 with great H1419 joy H8057 .
|
|
10. Then David praised the LORD in the sight of all the assembly. David said, "May You be praised, LORD God of our father Israel, from eternity to eternity.
|
10. Wherefore David H1732 blessed H1288 H853 the LORD H3068 before H5869 all H3605 the congregation H6951 : and David H1732 said H559 , Blessed H1288 be thou H859 , LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 our father H1 , forever H4480 H5769 and ever H5704 H5769 .
|
|
11. Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to You. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.
|
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 H3588 all H3605 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 as head H7218 above all H3605 .
|
|
12. Riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler of everything. In Your hand are power and might, and it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all.
|
12. Both riches H6239 and honor H3519 come of H4480 H6440 thee , and thou H859 reignest H4910 over all H3605 ; and in thine hand H3027 is power H3581 and might H1369 ; and in thine hand H3027 it is to make great H1431 , and to give strength H2388 unto all H3605 .
|
|
13. Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks and praise Your glorious name.
|
13. Now H6258 therefore , our God H430 , we H587 thank H3034 thee , and praise H1984 thy glorious H8597 name H8034 .
|
|
14. "But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? For everything comes from You, and we have given You only what comes from Your own hand.
|
14. But H3588 who H4310 am I H589 , and what H4310 is my people H5971 , that H3588 we should be able H6113 H3581 to offer so willingly H5068 after this sort H2063 ? for H3588 all things H3605 come of H4480 thee , and of thine own H4480 H3027 have we given H5414 thee.
|
|
15. For we are foreigners and sojourners in Your presence as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.
|
15. For H3588 we H587 are strangers H1616 before H6440 thee , and sojourners H8453 , as were all H3605 our fathers H1 : our days H3117 on H5921 the earth H776 are as a shadow H6738 , and there is none H369 abiding H4723 .
|
|
16. LORD our God, all this wealth that we've provided for building You a house for Your holy name comes from Your hand; everything belongs to You.
|
16. O LORD H3068 our God H430 , all H3605 this H2088 store H1995 that H834 we have prepared H3559 to build H1129 thee a house H1004 for thine holy H6944 name H8034 cometh of thine hand H4480 H3027 , and is all H3605 thine own.
|
|
17. I know, my God, that You test the heart and that You are pleased with uprightness. I have willingly given all these things with an upright heart, and now I have seen Your people who are present here giving joyfully and willingly to You.
|
17. I know H3045 also , my God H430 , that H3588 thou H859 triest H974 the heart H3824 , and hast pleasure H7521 in uprightness H3476 . As for me H589 , in the uprightness H4339 of mine heart H3824 I have willingly offered H5068 all H3605 these things H428 : and now H6258 have I seen H7200 with joy H8057 thy people H5971 , which are present H4672 here H6311 , to offer willingly H5068 unto thee.
|
|
18. LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our ancestors, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the hearts of Your people, and confirm their hearts toward You.
|
18. O LORD H3068 God H430 of Abraham H85 , Isaac H3327 , and of Israel H3478 , our fathers H1 , keep H8104 this H2063 forever H5769 in the imagination H3336 of the thoughts H4284 of the heart H3824 of thy people H5971 , and prepare H3559 their heart H3824 unto H413 thee:
|
|
19. Give my son Solomon a whole heart to keep and to carry out all Your commandments, Your decrees, and Your statutes, and to build the temple for which I have made provision."
|
19. And give H5414 unto Solomon H8010 my son H1121 a perfect H8003 heart H3824 , to keep H8104 thy commandments H4687 , thy testimonies H5715 , and thy statutes H2706 , and to do H6213 all H3605 these things , and to build H1129 the palace H1002 , for the which H834 I have made provision H3559 .
|
|
20. Then David said to the whole assembly, "Praise the LORD your God." So the whole assembly praised the LORD God of their ancestors. They bowed down and paid homage to the LORD and the king.
|
20. And David H1732 said H559 to all H3605 the congregation H6951 , Now H4994 bless H1288 H853 the LORD H3068 your God H430 . And all H3605 the congregation H6951 blessed H1288 the LORD H3068 God H430 of their fathers H1 , and bowed down their heads H6915 , and worshiped H7812 the LORD H3068 , and the king H4428 .
|
|
21. The following day they offered sacrifices to the LORD and burnt offerings to the LORD: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, and 1,000 lambs, along with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
|
21. And they sacrificed H2076 sacrifices H2077 unto the LORD H3068 , and offered H5927 burnt offerings H5930 unto the LORD H3068 , on the morrow H4283 after that H1931 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 H3605 Israel H3478 :
|
|
22. They ate and drank with great joy in the LORD's presence that day. Then, for a second time, they made David's son Solomon king; they anointed him as the LORD's ruler, and Zadok as the priest.
|
22. And did eat H398 and drink H8354 before H6440 the LORD H3068 on that H1931 day H3117 with great H1419 gladness H8057 . And they made H4427 Solomon H8010 the son H1121 of David H1732 king the second time H8145 , and anointed H4886 him unto the LORD H3068 to be the chief governor H5057 , and Zadok H6659 to be priest H3548 .
|
|
23. Solomon sat on the LORD's throne as king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
|
23. Then Solomon H8010 sat H3427 on H5921 the throne H3678 of the LORD H3068 as king H4428 instead of H8478 David H1732 his father H1 , and prospered H6743 ; and all H3605 Israel H3478 obeyed H8085 H413 him.
|
|
24. All the leaders and the mighty men, and all of King David's sons as well, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.
|
24. And all H3605 the princes H8269 , and the mighty men H1368 , and all H3605 the sons H1121 likewise H1571 of king H4428 David H1732 , submitted H5414 H3027 themselves unto H8478 Solomon H8010 the king H4428 .
|
|
25. The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been bestowed on any king over Israel before him.
|
25. And the LORD H3068 magnified H1431 H853 Solomon H8010 exceedingly H4605 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 Israel H3478 , and bestowed H5414 upon H5921 him such royal H4438 majesty H1935 as H834 had not H3808 been H1961 on H5921 any H3605 king H4428 before H6440 him in H5921 Israel H3478 .
|
|
26. David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.
|
26. Thus David H1732 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 reigned H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel H3478 .
|
|
27. The length of his reign over Israel was 40 years; he reigned in Hebron for seven years and in Jerusalem for 33.
|
27. And the time H3117 that H834 he reigned H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478 was forty H705 years H8141 ; seven H7651 years H8141 reigned H4427 he in Hebron H2275 , and thirty H7970 and three H7969 years reigned H4427 he in Jerusalem H3389 .
|
|
28. He died at a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor, and his son Solomon became king in his place.
|
28. And he died H4191 in a good old age H7872 H2896 , full H7649 of days H3117 , riches H6239 , and honor H3519 : and Solomon H8010 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 .
|
|
29. As for the events of King David's reign, from beginning to end, note that they are written about in the Events of Samuel the Seer, the Events of Nathan the Prophet, and the Events of Gad the Seer,
|
29. Now the acts H1697 of David H1732 the king H4428 , first H7223 and last H314 , behold H2009 , they are written H3789 in H5921 the book H1697 of Samuel H8050 the seer H7203 , and in H5921 the book H1697 of Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 , and in H5921 the book H1697 of Gad H1410 the seer H2374 ,
|
|
30. along with all his reign, his might, and the incidents that affected him and Israel and all the kingdoms of the surrounding lands.
|
30. With H5973 all H3605 his reign H4438 and his might H1369 , and the times H6256 that H834 went over H5674 H5921 him , and over H5921 Israel H3478 , and over H5921 all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the countries H776 .
