Young's Literal Translation
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 .
And
David the
king
saith
to all
the assembly, `Solomon
my son --
the one on
whom God hath
fixed
--
`
is '
young and tender,
and
the work
`
is '
great ,
for
not for man is
the
palace
, but for Jehovah
God ;
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.
and
with all my power
I have prepared
for the house of my God ,
the
gold for `things
of'
gold, and
the
silver for `those
of'
silver, and
the brass
for
`those
of'
brass
, the
iron for `those
of'
iron, and the
wood for `those
of'
wood, shoham
stones
, and
settings
, and
stones of painting
and
of
diverse
colours
, and
all `
kinds of '
precious stone
, and stones
of white
marble ,
in abundance.
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
:
`And
again
, because of my delighting
in the house of my God, the
substance
I have
--
a
peculiar
treasure
of gold and silver --
I
have
given
for
the
house
of
my
God
, even
over and above all I have prepared
for the
house
of
the
sanctuary
:
three thousand talents of gold (
the gold of Ophir )
and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings
,
three thousand talents of gold ,
of
the gold of Ophir ,
and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses
,
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
? ”
even
gold
for `things
of'
gold ,
and silver for
`those
of'
silver
, and for all the work by the hand
of
artificers;
and
who `is'
he
that
is
offering
willingly
to consecrate his
hand
to -day
to
Jehovah
? '
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
the heads
of the fathers
, and
the heads
of the tribes of Israel, and
the heads
of the
thousands ,
and of the
hundreds, even
to
the heads
of the work of
the
king,
offer
willingly.
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
give
for
the service of the
house of
God
, of gold --
talents five
thousand,
and
drams
a
myriad;
and
of silver --
talents ten
thousand
, and of
brass
--
a
myriad
and
eight
thousand
talents ;
and
of iron --
a
hundred
thousand
talents;
Whoever
had
precious
stones gave
them
to the treasury of the house of the
LORD
, under
the care
of Jehiel the Gershonite.
and
he
with
whom
stones are
found
hath
given
to the treasury of the house of Jehovah
, by
the hand
of Jehiel the Gershonite.
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
.
And the people rejoice
because
of their offering
willingly
, for with
a
perfect
heart
they have
offered
willingly
to Jehovah;
and also David
the
king
hath
rejoiced --
great
joy
.
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
.
And
David blesseth
Jehovah
before
the eyes
of all the assembly ,
and David
saith,
`
Blessed `art'
Thou
, Jehovah
, God of Israel
our father, from age
even
unto
age
.
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 .
To
Thee
, O Jehovah
, `
is '
the greatness ,
and the might,
and the beauty,
and the victory,
and the honour
, because
of
all
in the
heavens
and in
the
earth ;
to Thee
, O Jehovah
, `
is '
the kingdom, and he
who
is
lifting
up
himself
over all for
head;
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.
and
the
riches ,
and the
honour
`are'
from before
Thee
, and Thou
art
ruling
over all ,
and
in Thy
hand
`is'
power and might ,
and
in
Thy
hand,
to make
great,
and to
give strength to all.
Now therefore
, our God, we give
You
thanks, and we
praise Your
glorious
name .
`And
now, our God, we are
giving
thanks to
Thee
, and giving
praise to
Thy
beauteous
name ;
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.
yea,
because,
who `
am '
I, and who `
are '
my people, that we retain
power
to offer
thus
willingly
? but
of
Thee
`is'
the
whole
, and out
of
Thy
hand we have given to Thee;
For we are foreigners
and strangers
in
Your
presence
, as
were
all our forefathers.
Our days on earth
are
like
a
shadow
, without
hope
.
for sojourners
we `
are '
before
Thee,
and settlers
, like
all our fathers;
as
a
shadow
`are'
our days on the
land
, and
there
is
none
abiding
.
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
.
`
O Jehovah
our God, all this store
that we have prepared
to build to
Thee
a house ,
for Thy
holy name, `is'
out
of
Thy
hand,
and of Thee
`is'
the
whole
.
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
.
`And
I have
known
, my God, that Thou
art
trying
the heart ,
and uprightness dost
desire;
I ,
in
the
uprightness
of
my
heart, have
willingly
offered
all
these:
and now ,
Thy
people who are found
here I
have
seen
with
joy
to
offer
willingly to 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.
`
O Jehovah
, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our
fathers,
keep this to
the age
for
the
imagination
of the thoughts
of the
heart
of
Thy
people, and prepare
their heart
unto
Thee;
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 to
Solomon
my son give
a perfect
heart ,
to keep Thy
commands
, Thy
testimonies
, and Thy
statutes, and to do
the
whole,
even
to
build the
palace `
for '
which I have prepared
. '
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
David saith
to all
the assembly, `Bless,
I
pray
you,
Jehovah
your God ;'
and
all
the assembly bless
Jehovah
, God of their fathers ,
and bow
and
do
obeisance
to Jehovah,
and to the king.
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
they sacrifice
to
Jehovah
sacrifices ,
and cause
to
ascend
burnt -
offerings to Jehovah
on
the morrow
of
that
day,
bullocks
a thousand, rams
a thousand, lambs
a thousand, and
their oblations
, even
sacrifices in abundance ,
for all Israel.
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.
And
they eat
and drink
before
Jehovah
on
that
day
with great joy, and
cause
Solomon
son
of
David
to
reign
a second time, and
anoint
`
him '
before Jehovah
for
leader
, and Zadok for
priest.
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
Solomon sitteth
on the throne of Jehovah
for
king instead
of David
his father, and prospereth,
and
all Israel hearken
unto
him ,
All the officials
and mighty men, as
well
as
all of
King
David’s
sons ,
pledged
their
allegiance
to
King Solomon .
and
all the heads,
and the
mighty men, and
also
all the
sons of
king David
have
given
a
hand
under
Solomon the
king;
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.
and
Jehovah
maketh
Solomon exceedingly
great
before
the eyes
of all Israel ,
and putteth
upon
him the
honour
of
the
kingdom
that
hath
not been on any king over
Israel before him.
David son of Jesse was
king
over all Israel .
And
David son of Jesse hath
reigned
over all Israel ,
The length
of
David’s
reign
over Israel was
forty years —seven
years
in Hebron and
thirty-three
years in Jerusalem .
and
the days
that
he
hath
reigned
over Israel `are'
forty years ;
in Hebron he
reigned
seven
years ,
and
in Jerusalem he
reigned
thirty
and
three;
He died
at
a ripe
old age, full
of
years
, riches, and honor
, and his son Solomon
reigned
in his place
.
and
he dieth
in
a good
old age, satisfied
with
days
, riches, and honour
, and reign
doth
Solomon
his son in his stead
.
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,
And
the matters
of David the
king
, the
first and
the
last, lo,
they
are written beside
the matters
of Samuel the seer, and
beside
the matters
of Nathan the prophet, and beside
the matters
of Gad the seer,
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.
with all his reign, and
his might, and the times
that went
over
him ,
and over
Israel ,
and over
all kingdoms of the lands.
