sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant
men, unto Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 28:2
2 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren,
and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for
the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God,
and had made ready for the building: 1 Chronicles 28:3
3 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because
thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood. 1 Chronicles 28:4
4 Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to
be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of
the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my
father he liked me to make me king over all Israel: 1 Chronicles 28:5
5 And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen
Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.
1 Chronicles 28:6
6 And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts:
for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. 1 Chronicles 28:7
7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my
commandments and my judgments, as at this day. 1 Chronicles 28:8
8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and
in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD
your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an
inheritance for your children after you for ever. 1 Chronicles 28:9
9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him
with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all
hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou
seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast
thee off for ever.
1 Chronicles 28:10
10 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the
sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
1 Chronicles 28:11
11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the
houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers
thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,
1 Chronicles 28:12
12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the
house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of
the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things: 1 Chronicles
28:13
13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work
of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in
the house of the LORD.
1 Chronicles 28:14
14 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all
manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for
all instruments of every kind of service: 1 Chronicles 28:15
15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold,
by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the
candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the
lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick. 1 Chronicles 28:16
16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table;
and likewise silver for the tables of silver: 1 Chronicles 28:17
17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the
golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver by
weight for every bason of silver: 1 Chronicles 28:18
18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the
pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and
covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD. 1 Chronicles 28:19
19 All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand
upon me, even all the works of this pattern. 1 Chronicles 28:20
20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do
it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with
thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all
the work for the service of the house of the LORD. 1 Chronicles 28:21
21 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be
with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with
thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner
of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy
commandment.
CHAPTER 29
1 Chronicles 29:1
1 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, 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 the LORD God. 1 Chronicles 29:2
2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for
things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass
for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of
wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers
colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
1 Chronicles 29:3
3 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of
mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of
my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, 1
Chronicles 29:4
4 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven
thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal:
1 Chronicles 29:5
5 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for
all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is
willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD? 1 Chronicles 29:6
6 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the
captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work,
offered willingly,
1 Chronicles 29:7
7 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents
and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass
eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. 1
Chronicles 29:8
8 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of
the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. 1 Chronicles 29:9
9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with
perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also
rejoiced with great joy.
1 Chronicles 29:10
10 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David
said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 1
Chronicles 29:11
11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the
victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is
thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
1 Chronicles 29:12
12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in
thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to
give strength unto all.
1 Chronicles 29:13
13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. 1
Chronicles 29:14
14 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.
1 Chronicles 29:15
15 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers:
our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. 1 Chronicles
29:16
16 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house
for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own. 1 Chronicles
29:17
17 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in
uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly
offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are
present here, to offer willingly unto thee. 1 Chronicles 29:18
18 O LORD God of Abraham, 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:
1 Chronicles 29:19
19 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 the which I have made provision. 1 Chronicles 29:20
20 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And
all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down
their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king. 1 Chronicles 29:21
21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings
unto the LORD, 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: 1 Chronicles 29:22
22 And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And
they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto
the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest. 1 Chronicles
29:23
23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his
father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. 1 Chronicles 29:24
24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king
David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king. 1 Chronicles 29:25
25 And the LORD 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.
1 Chronicles 29:26
26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. 1 Chronicles 29:27
27 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. 1
Chronicles 29:28
28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and
Solomon his son reigned in his stead. 1 Chronicles 29:29
29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in
the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the
book of Gad the seer,
1 Chronicles 29:30
30 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.
