29:1 ¶ Furthermore David {1732} the king {4428} said {559} <8799> unto all (3605) the congregation, {6951} Solomon {8010} my son, {1121} whom alone {259} God {430} hath chosen, {977} <8804> [is yet] young {5288} and tender, {7390} and the work {4399} [is] great: {1419} for (3588) the palace {1002} [is] not (3808) for man, {120} but (3588) for the LORD {3068} God. {430}

29:2 Now I have prepared {3559} <8689> with all (3605) my might {3581} for the house {1004} of my God {430} the gold {2091} for [things to be made] of gold, {2091} and the silver {3701} for [things] of silver, {3701} and the brass {5178} for [things] of brass, {5178} the iron {1270} for [things] of iron, {1270} and wood {6086} for [things] of wood; {6086} onyx {7718} stones, {68} and [stones] to be set, {4394} glistering {6320} stones, {68} and of divers colours, {7553} and all manner (3605) of precious {3368} stones, {68} and marble {7893} stones {68} in abundance. {7230}

29:3 Moreover, (5750) because I have set my affection {7521} <8800> to the house {1004} of my God, {430} I have {3426} of mine own proper good, {5459} of gold {2091} and silver, {3701} [which] I have given {5414} <8804> to the house {1004} of my God, {430} over (4605) and above [4605] all (4480) (3605) that I have prepared {3559} <8689> for the holy {6944} house, {1004}

29:4 [Even] three {7969} thousand {505} talents {3603} of gold, {2091} of the gold {2091} (4480) of Ophir, {211} and seven {7651} thousand {505} talents {3603} of refined {2212} <8794> silver, {3701} to overlay {2902} <8800> the walls {7023} of the houses {1004} [withal]:

29:5 The gold {2091} for [things] of gold, {2091} and the silver {3701} for [things] of silver, {3701} and for all manner (3605) of work {4399} [to be made] by the hands {3027} of artificers. {2796} And who (4310) [then] is willing {5068} <8693> to consecrate [4390] <8763> his service {3027} (4390) this day {3117} unto the LORD? {3068}

29:6 ¶ Then the chief {8269} of the fathers {1} and princes {8269} of the tribes {7626} of Israel, {3478} and the captains {8269} of thousands {505} and of hundreds, {3967} with the rulers {8269} of the king's {4428} work, {4399} offered willingly, {5068} <8691>

29:7 And gave {5414} <8799> for the service {5656} of the house {1004} of God {430} of gold {2091} five {2568} thousand {505} talents {3603} and ten thousand {7239} drams, {150} and of silver {3701} ten {6235} thousand {505} talents, {3603} and of brass {5178} eighteen [8083] [7239] thousand {505} (7239) (8083) talents, {3603} and one hundred {3967} thousand {505} talents {3603} of iron. {1270}

29:8 And they with (854) whom [precious] stones {68} were found {4672} <8737> gave {5414} <8804> [them] to the treasure {214} of the house {1004} of the LORD, {3068} by (5921) the hand {3027} of Jehiel {3171} the Gershonite. {1649}

29:9 Then the people {5971} rejoiced, {8055} <8799> for (5921) that they offered willingly, {5068} <8692> because (3588) with perfect {8003} heart {3820} they offered willingly {5068} <8694> to the LORD: {3068} and David {1732} the king {4428} also (1571) rejoiced {8055} <8804> with great {1419} joy. {8057}

29:10 ¶ Wherefore David {1732} blessed {1288} <8762> (853) the LORD {3068} before {5869} all (3605) the congregation: {6951} and David {1732} said, {559} <8799> Blessed {1288} <8803> [be] thou, (859) LORD {3068} God {430} of Israel {3478} our father, {1} for [5704] ever {5769} (4480) and ever. {5769} (5704)

29:11 Thine, O LORD, {3068} [is] the greatness, {1420} and the power, {1369} and the glory, {8597} and the victory, {5331} and the majesty: {1935} for (3588) all (3605) [that is] in the heaven {8064} and in the earth {776} [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, {4467} O LORD, {3068} and thou art exalted {4984} <8693> as head {7218} above all. (3605)

29:12 Both riches {6239} and honour {3519} [come] of (4480) (6440) thee, [6440] and thou (859) reignest {4910} <8802> over all; (3605) and in thine hand {3027} [is] power {3581} and might; {1369} and in thine hand {3027} [it is] to make great, {1431} <8763> and to give strength {2388} <8763> unto all. (3605)

29:13 Now (6258) therefore, our God, {430} we (587) thank {3034} <8688> thee, and praise {1984} <8764> thy glorious {8597} name. {8034}

29:14 But (3588) who (4310) [am] I, (589) and what (4310) [is] my people, {5971} that (3588) we should be [6113] <8799> able {3581} (6113) to offer so willingly {5068} <8692> after this sort? (2063) for (3588) all things (3605) [come] of (4480) thee, and of thine own {3027} (4480) have we given {5414} <8804> thee.

29:15 For (3588) we (587) [are] strangers {1616} before {6440} thee, and sojourners, {8453} as [were] all (3605) our fathers: {1} our days {3117} on (5921) the earth {776} [are] as a shadow, {6738} and [there is] none (369) abiding. {4723}

29:16 O LORD {3068} our God, {430} all (3605) this (2088) store {1995} that (834) we have prepared {3559} <8689> to build {1129} <8800> thee an house {1004} for thine holy {6944} name {8034} [cometh] of thine hand, {3027} (4480) and [is] all (3605) thine own.

29:17 I know {3045} <8804> also, my God, {430} that (3588) thou (859) triest {974} <8802> the heart, {3824} and hast pleasure {7521} <8799> in uprightness. {3476} As for me, (589) in the uprightness {4339} of mine heart {3824} I have willingly offered {5068} <8694> all (3605) these things: (428) and now (6258) have I seen {7200} <8804> with joy {8057} thy people, {5971} which are present {4672} <8738> here, (6311) to offer willingly {5068} <8692> unto thee.

29:18 O LORD {3068} God {430} of Abraham, {85} Isaac, {3327} and of Israel, {3478} our fathers, {1} keep {8104} <8798> this (2063) for ever {5769} in the imagination {3336} of the thoughts {4284} of the heart {3824} of thy people, {5971} and prepare {3559} <8685> their heart {3824} unto (413) thee:

29:19 And give {5414} <8798> unto Solomon {8010} my son {1121} a perfect {8003} heart, {3824} to keep {8104} <8800> thy commandments, {4687} thy testimonies, {5715} and thy statutes, {2706} and to do {6213} <8800> all (3605) [these things], and to build {1129} <8800> the palace, {1002} [for] the which (834) I have made provision. {3559} <8689>

29:20 ¶ And David {1732} said {559} <8799> to all (3605) the congregation, {6951} Now (4994) bless {1288} <8761> (853) the LORD {3068} your God. {430} And all (3605) the congregation {6951} blessed {1288} <8762> the LORD {3068} God {430} of their fathers, {1} and bowed down their heads, {6915} <8799> and worshipped {7812} <8691> the LORD, {3068} and the king. {4428}

29:21 And they sacrificed {2076} <8799> sacrifices {2077} unto the LORD, {3068} and offered {5927} <8686> burnt offerings {5930} unto the LORD, {3068} on the morrow {4283} after that (1931) day, {3117} [even] a thousand {505} bullocks, {6499} a thousand {505} rams, {352} [and] a thousand {505} lambs, {3532} with their drink offerings, {5262} and sacrifices {2077} in abundance {7230} for all (3605) Israel: {3478}

29:22 And did eat {398} <8799> and drink {8354} <8799> before {6440} the LORD {3068} on that (1931) day {3117} with great {1419} gladness. {8057} And they made (4427) Solomon {8010} the son {1121} of David {1732} king [4427] <8686> the second time, {8145} and anointed {4886} <8799> [him] unto the LORD {3068} [to be] the chief governor, {5057} and Zadok {6659} [to be] priest. {3548}

29:23 Then Solomon {8010} sat (3427) on [3427] <8799> (5921) the throne {3678} of the LORD {3068} as king {4428} instead of (8478) David {1732} his father, {1} and prospered; {6743} <8686> and all (3605) Israel {3478} obeyed {8085} <8799> (413) him.

29:24 And all (3605) the princes, {8269} and the mighty men, {1368} and all (3605) the sons {1121} likewise (1571) of king {4428} David, {1732} submitted (5414) (3027) themselves [5414] <8804> [3027] [8478] unto (8478) Solomon {8010} the king. {4428}

29:25 And the LORD {3068} magnified {1431} <8762> (853) Solomon {8010} exceedingly {4605} in the sight {5869} of all (3605) Israel, {3478} and bestowed {5414} <8799> upon (5921) him [such] royal {4438} majesty {1935} as (834) had not (3808) been (1961) on (5921) any (3605) king {4428} before {6440} him in (5921) Israel. {3478}

29:26 ¶ Thus David {1732} the son {1121} of Jesse {3448} reigned {4427} <8804> over (5921) all (3605) Israel. {3478}

29:27 And the time {3117} that (834) he reigned {4427} <8804> over (5921) Israel {3478} [was] forty {705} years; {8141} seven {7651} years {8141} reigned {4427} <8804> he in Hebron, {2275} and thirty {7970} and three {7969} [years] reigned {4427} <8804> he in Jerusalem. {3389}

29:28 And he died {4191} <8799> in a good [2896] old age, {7872} (2896) full {7649} of days, {3117} riches, {6239} and honour: {3519} and Solomon {8010} his son {1121} reigned {4427} <8799> in his stead. (8478)

29:29 Now the acts {1697} of David {1732} the king, {4428} first {7223} and last, {314} behold, (2009) they [are] written {3789} <8803> in (5921) the book {1697} of Samuel {8050} the seer, [7200] <8802> (7203) and in (5921) the book {1697} of Nathan {5416} the prophet, {5030} and in (5921) the book {1697} of Gad {1410} the seer, {2374}

29:30 With (5973) all (3605) his reign {4438} and his might, {1369} and the times {6256} that (834) went over {5674} <8804> (5921) him, and over (5921) Israel, {3478} and over (5921) all (3605) the kingdoms {4467} of the countries. {776}
