Berean Standard Bible
And
David
the
king said unto
all
the assembly, 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 Jehovah
God.
Then
King David
said to
the whole
assembly, “
My son Solomon
, the
one
whom God has
chosen, is young and inexperienced.
The task
is great because
this
palace is not for man, but for the
LORD
God.
Now I
have
prepared
with all my might
for the house of my God the
gold for the `things
of'
gold, and
the
silver for the `things
of'
silver, and
the
brass
for the `things
of'
brass
, the
iron for the `things
of'
iron, and wood for the `things
of'
wood ;
onyx stones
, and
`stones'
to
be
set
, stones for
inlaid
work,
and
of divers
colors, and
all manner
of precious stones, and marble stones
in abundance.
Now with all my ability
I
have
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 for
the
settings
, turquoise
, stones of various
colors, all kinds
of precious stones, and slabs
of
marble —all
in abundance.
Moreover also
, because I
have
set
my affection
on
the house of my God, seeing
that
I have
a
treasure
of
mine
own
of gold and silver, I
give
it
unto
the
house
of
my
God,
over and above all that I have prepared
for the
holy house,
Moreover, because of
my delight
in
the house of my God, I now
give
for
it
my
personal
treasures
of gold and silver, over and above all that I have provided
for this
holy temple:
even
three thousand talents of gold ,
of
the gold of Ophir ,
and seven thousand talents of refined silver, wherewith
to overlay the walls of the houses;
three thousand talents of gold (
the gold of Ophir )
and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings,
of
gold
for the `things
of'
gold ,
and of
silver
for
the `things
of'
silver, and for all manner
of
work `
to be made'
by the hands
of
artificers
. Who then
offereth
willingly
to consecrate himself this
day
unto
Jehovah
?
for the gold work
and the silver work
, and for all the
work to be done
by the craftsmen
. Now
who will
volunteer
to consecrate himself to
the
LORD
today
? ”
Then the princes
of the fathers'
`houses'
, and
the princes
of the tribes of Israel, and
the captains
of thousands and of hundreds, with
the rulers
over
the king's
work ,
offered
willingly ;
Then the leaders
of the households
, the officers
of the tribes of Israel, the commanders
of thousands and of hundreds, and
the officials
in
charge
of
the king’s
work gave
willingly .
and
they
gave
for
the service of the
house of
God
of
gold
five
thousand
talents and ten
thousand
darics, and
of silver ten
thousand
talents
, and
of
brass
eighteen
thousand
talents, and of iron a
hundred
thousand
talents
.
Toward
the service of God’s
house they
gave
5,000
talents and 10,000
darics of
gold
, 10,000
talents
of silver, 18,000
talents of
bronze
, and 100,000
talents
of iron.
And
they
with
whom
`
precious '
stones were
found
gave them to the treasure
of the house of Jehovah
, under the hand
of Jehiel the Gershonite.
Whoever
had
precious stones gave them to the treasury
of the house of the
LORD
, under the care
of Jehiel the Gershonite.
Then
the people rejoiced, for that
they offered
willingly,
because
with
a
perfect
heart
they
offered
willingly
to Jehovah:
and
David
the king also rejoiced with
great
joy
.
And
the people rejoiced at
the
willing
response
of
their
leaders
, for they had
given
to the LORD
freely
and
wholeheartedly.
And
King David
also rejoiced greatly
.
Wherefore
David blessed Jehovah
before
all the assembly ;
and David
said ,
Blessed
be thou
, O Jehovah
, the
God of Israel
our father, for
ever
and
ever
.
Then
David blessed the
LORD
in
the
sight
of
all the assembly and said :
“May
You
be blessed
, O LORD
, God of our father Israel
, from
everlasting
to
everlasting
.
Thine
, O Jehovah
, is the greatness ,
and the power ,
and the glory ,
and the victory,
and the majesty :
for all
that
is
in the
heavens
and in
the
earth `is
thine';
thine
is the kingdom, O
Jehovah,
and thou
art
exalted as head above
all.
Yours
, O LORD
, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor
and the majesty ,
for everything
in heaven
and on
earth belongs
to
You.
Yours,
O
LORD,
is the kingdom, and You
are
exalted as head over
all.
Both riches and honor come of
thee
, and thou
rulest
over all ;
and
in thy
hand
is
power and might ;
and
in
thy
hand
it
is
to make
great,
and to
give strength unto
all.
Both riches and honor come from
You
, and You
are
the
ruler
over all .
In Your
hands
are
power and might to exalt
and give strength to
all.
Now therefore, our God, we thank
thee
, and praise thy
glorious name.
Now therefore, our God, we give
You
thanks
, and we
praise Your
glorious name.
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
.
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 from
Your
own hand
we have
given to
You
.
For we are strangers
before
thee,
and sojourners
, as all our fathers
were:
our days on the
earth are as
a shadow, and
there
is
no
abiding
.
For we are foreigners
and strangers
in
Your
presence
, as were
all our forefathers.
Our days on earth are like
a shadow, without
hope
.
O Jehovah
our God, all this store
that we have prepared
to build thee
a house for thy
holy name cometh
of
thy
hand
, and is
all thine
own
.
O LORD
our God, from
Your
hand
comes
all this abundance
that we have provided
to build You
a house for Your
holy Name, and all of
it
belongs
to
You
.
I know also
, my God, that thou
triest
the heart ,
and hast
pleasure
in uprightness. As
for
me,
in
the
uprightness
of
my
heart
I
have
willingly
offered
all these things :
and now have
I seen with
joy
thy
people ,
that
are present here ,
offer
willingly unto
thee
.
I know, my God, that You
test
the heart and delight
in uprightness. All these things I
have
given
willingly
and with
an
upright
heart,
and
now I have
seen Your
people who
are present here giving
joyfully
and
willingly to
You
.
O Jehovah
, the
God of Abraham, of
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;
O LORD
, God of our
fathers
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, keep this desire
forever
in the intentions
of the hearts
of Your
people, and direct
their hearts
toward
You.
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 which I have made provision.
And give my son Solomon
a whole
heart to keep and
carry
out
all
Your
commandments, decrees
, and statutes, and to build Your
palace for which I have made provision. ”
And
David said to all
the assembly, Now
bless
Jehovah
your God. And
all
the assembly blessed Jehovah
, the God of their fathers ,
and
bowed down their
heads,
and worshipped
Jehovah,
and the king.
Then
David said to the whole
assembly, “Blessed
be
the
LORD
your God. ”
So
the whole
assembly blessed the
LORD
, the God of their fathers .
They
bowed down and paid
homage
to
the
LORD
and to
the king.
And
they sacrificed
sacrifices unto
Jehovah,
and offered
burnt -
offerings unto
Jehovah,
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 ,
The
next
day
they offered
sacrifices and presented
burnt offerings to
the LORD:
a thousand bulls
, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along
with their drink offerings, and other
sacrifices in abundance for all Israel .
and
did
eat
and
drink
before
Jehovah
on
that day with great gladness.
And
they
made
Solomon
the son
of David
king
the second time, and
anointed
him unto
Jehovah
to
be
prince
, and Zadok to
be
priest.
That day they
ate
and
drank
with great joy
in
the presence
of the LORD.
Then,
for
a
second time, they
designated
David’s
son
Solomon
as
king,
anointing
him before
the
LORD
as
ruler
, and Zadok as
the
priest.
Then
Solomon sat on the throne of Jehovah
as king instead
of David
his father ,
and
prospered ;
and all Israel obeyed him.
So
Solomon sat on the throne of the
LORD
as king in
place
of his father David.
He
prospered ,
and all Israel obeyed him.
And
all the princes,
and the
mighty men, and
all the
sons
likewise
of king David
, submitted
themselves
unto
Solomon
the
king.
All the officials
and mighty men, as
well
as
all of King David’s
sons
, pledged
their
allegiance
to
King Solomon
.
And
Jehovah
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.
The
LORD
highly
exalted
Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on
him royal majesty such
as had not been bestowed
on any king in Israel before
him
.
Now
David the
son of Jesse reigned
over all Israel.

king
over all Israel.
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.
The length
of
David’s
reign
over Israel was forty years —
seven years in Hebron and thirty -
three years in Jerusalem.
And
he died in
a good
old age, full of days
, riches, and honor :
and Solomon
his son reigned in his stead
.
He died at
a ripe
old age, full of years
, riches, and honor ,
and his son Solomon
reigned in his place
.
Now the acts of David
the
king, first and
last, behold,
they
are written in the history
of Samuel the seer, and
in
the history
of Nathan the prophet, and in
the history
of Gad the seer,
Now the acts of King David
, from
first to
last, are indeed
written in the Chronicles
of Samuel the Seer, the Chronicles
of Nathan the Prophet, and the Chronicles
of Gad the Seer,
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
.
together
with all the
details
of
his reign ,
his might, and the circumstances
that came
upon
him and Israel and all the kingdoms of the lands
.
