1 Chronicles 29:29 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Then King David turned to the entire assembly and said, "My son Solomon, whom God has clearly chosen as the next king of Israel, is still young and inexperienced. The work ahead of him is enormous, for the Temple he will build is not for mere mortals-- it is for the LORD God himself!
2 Using every resource at my command, I have gathered as much as I could for building the Temple of my God. Now there is enough gold, silver, bronze, iron, and wood, as well as great quantities of onyx, other precious stones, costly jewels, and all kinds of fine stone and marble.
3 "And now, because of my devotion to the Temple of my God, I am giving all of my own private treasures of gold and silver to help in the construction. This is in addition to the building materials I have already collected for his holy Temple.
4 I am donating more than 112 tons of gold from Ophir and 262 tons of refined silver to be used for overlaying the walls of the buildings
5 and for the other gold and silver work to be done by the craftsmen. Now then, who will follow my example and give offerings to the LORD today?"
6 Then the family leaders, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the generals and captains of the army, and the king's administrative officers all gave willingly.
7 For the construction of the Temple of God, they gave about 188 tons of gold, 10,000 gold coins, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
8 They also contributed numerous precious stones, which were deposited in the treasury of the house of the LORD under the care of Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon.
9 The people rejoiced over the offerings, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the LORD, and King David was filled with joy.
10 Then David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly: "O LORD, the God of our ancestor Israel, may you be praised forever and ever!
11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.
12 Wealth and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given strength.
13 "O our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name!
14 But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you first gave us!
15 We are here for only a moment, visitors and strangers in the land as our ancestors were before us. Our days on earth are like a passing shadow, gone so soon without a trace.
16 "O LORD our God, even this material we have gathered to build a Temple to honor your holy name comes from you! It all belongs to you!
17 I know, my God, that you examine our hearts and rejoice when you find integrity there. You know I have done all this with good motives, and I have watched your people offer their gifts willingly and joyously.
18 "O LORD, the God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, make your people always want to obey you. See to it that their love for you never changes.
19 Give my son Solomon the wholehearted desire to obey all your commands, laws, and decrees, and to do everything necessary to build this Temple, for which I have made these preparations."
20 Then David said to the whole assembly, "Give praise to the LORD your God!" And the entire assembly praised the LORD, the God of their ancestors, and they bowed low and knelt before the LORD and the king.
21 The next day they brought 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, and 1,000 male lambs as burnt offerings to the LORD. They also brought liquid offerings and many other sacrifices on behalf of all Israel.
22 They feasted and drank in the LORD's presence with great joy that day.And again they crowned David's son Solomon as their new king. They anointed him before the LORD as their leader, and they anointed Zadok as priest.
23 So Solomon took the throne of the LORD in place of his father, David, and he succeeded in everything, and all Israel obeyed him.
24 All the officials, the warriors, and the sons of King David pledged their loyalty to King Solomon.
25 And the LORD exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and he gave Solomon greater royal splendor than any king in Israel before him.
26 So David son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27 He reigned over Israel for forty years, seven of them in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem.
28 He died at a ripe old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth, and honor. Then his son Solomon ruled in his place.
29 All the events of King David's reign, from beginning to end, are written in The Record of Samuel the Seer, The Record of Nathan the Prophet, and The Record of Gad the Seer.
30 These accounts include the mighty deeds of his reign and everything that happened to him and to Israel and to all the surrounding kingdoms.
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 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 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 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 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 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's H4428 work, H4399 offered willingly, H5068
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 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 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 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 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 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 H6258 therefore , our God, H430 we H587 thank H3034 thee , and praise H1984 thy glorious H8597 name. H8034
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Thus David H1732 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 reigned H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel. H3478
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 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 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 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
