3. The house of my God means much to me. I have much gold and silver and I give it to the house of my God, together with all I have already given 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 ,

|
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 were filled with joy because they had been so willing to give. They gave their gift to the Lord with a whole heart. And King David was filled with great joy.
|
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. So David praised the Lord in front of all the people. He said, "Honor and thanks be to You, O Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever.
|
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. O Lord, You have great power, shining-greatness and strength. Yes, everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. You are the King, O Lord. And You are honored 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. Both riches and honor come from You. You rule over all. Power and strength are in Your hand. The power 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. So now, our God, we thank You. We praise Your great and honored 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 so much? For all things come from You. We have given You only what already belongs to You.
|
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. We are strangers before You. We are just staying here for a time, as all our fathers did. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and 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. O Lord our God, from Your hand are all these many things that we have given to build You a house for Your holy name. It all 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. O my God, I know that You test the heart and are pleased with what is right. I have given these things because I have wanted to with a clean heart. And now I have seen with joy how Your people who are here give gifts to You because they want to.
|
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, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the thoughts of the hearts of Your people. Lead their hearts to 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 perfect heart to keep Your Words and Your Laws and to obey them all. And so let him build the beautiful house I have planned and given for."
|
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 all the people, "Now praise the Lord your God." And all the people gave praise to the Lord, the God of their fathers. They bowed low to the ground before 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. On the next day they killed animals and gave burnt gifts in worship to the Lord. h41 Chronicles 29/h4
|
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. So they ate and drank that day with great joy before the Lord. h41 Chronicles 29/h4
|
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 sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of his father David. Everything went well for him, 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 powerful men and all the sons of King David promised to be faithful 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 brought much honor to Solomon in the eyes of all Israel. He gave him greater power than any king before him in Israel.
|
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. So David the son of Jesse ruled over all Israel.
|
26. Thus David H1732 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 reigned H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel H3478 .
|
|
27. And he ruled over Israel for forty years. He ruled in Hebron seven years, and in Jerusalem thirty-three years.
|
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. The acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the books of Samuel, Nathan, and Gad, the men of God.
|
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. They tell of all his rule, his power, and of the things which happened to him, to Israel, and to all the nations of the 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 .
