Chapter 29
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.
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.
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,
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:
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13
Now
therefore,
our
God,
we
thank
thee,
and
praise
thy
glorious
name.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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:
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.
23
Then
Solomon
sat
on
the
throne
of
the
Lord
as
king
instead
of
David
his
father,
and
prospered;
and
all
Israel
obeyed
him.
24
And
all
the
princes,
and
the
mighty
men,
and
all
the
sons
likewise
of
king
David,
submitted
themselves
unto
Solomon
the
king.
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.
26
Thus
David
the
son
of
Jesse
reigned
over
all
Israel.
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.
28
And
he
died
in
a
good
old
age,
full
of
days,
riches,
and
honour:
and
Solomon
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
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,
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.
