David og forsamlingen bringer gaver til Herren
29 Henvendt til hele forsamlingen sagde David: „Min søn Salomon, som Gud har udvalgt til at efterfølge mig på Israels trone, er endnu ung og uerfaren. Den opgave, der er ham betroet, er stor, for det er ikke et palads til et menneske, han skal bygge, men Herrens eget hus! 2 Jeg har derfor gjort, hvad der stod i min magt for at forberede arbejdet. Jeg har samlet alt det guld, sølv, bronze, jern og træ, der skal bruges, foruden alle slags farvede smykkesten og mængder af marmor. 3 For at bevise mit stærke ønske om at se Herrens hus blive bygget giver jeg derudover, hvad jeg personligt ejer af guld og sølv: 4-5 100 tons rent guld og 240 tons rent sølv til at overtrække bygningens vægge med og til anden udsmykning i templet. Hvem iblandt jer vil følge mit eksempel og bringe gaver til Herren?”
6-7 Straks kom stamme- og slægtsoverhovederne, officererne og de ledende embedsmænd frivilligt og gav følgende til opførelsen af Herrens hus: 170 tons guld og 10.000 guldmønter, 340 tons sølv, 610 tons bronze og 3400 tons jern. 8 De, som ejede smykkesten, gav dem til Herrens hus, og de blev opbevaret i templets skatkammer under Jehiels varetægt. 9 Alle glædede sig over at få lov at give, for de gav af hele deres hjerte til Herren, og David var rørt af glæde.
Davids takkesang til Herren
10 David brød ud i lovsang til Herren i hele folkets påhør:
„Priset være du, Israels Gud,
vores fædres Gud fra evighed til evighed.
11 Storhed og magt, ære og herlighed tilhører dig, Herre,
for alt i himlen og på jorden er dit.
Du er den almægtige hersker,
højt ophøjet over alt og alle.
12 Rigdom og ære kommer fra dig,
du regerer over alle mennesker.
Du giver storhed og styrke til hvem, du vil.
13 Du er vores Gud, og vi priser dig.
Vi lovsynger dit herlige navn.”
14 David fortsatte: „I virkeligheden kan hverken jeg eller mit folk give dig noget som helst, for alt, hvad vi ejer, har vi fået af dig, så vi giver dig kun, hvad der allerede er dit. 15 Vi er kun gæster på besøg i denne verden, ligesom vores forfædre var det. Vores liv på jorden er som en skygge, der passerer forbi. 16 Al den rigdom, som vi nu har skaffet til veje for at bygge dit hus, kom fra dig. Det hele tilhører dig. 17 Min Gud, jeg ved, at du kender menneskers motiver og glæder dig over et oprigtigt hjerte. Jeg gav med glæde og uden bagtanke, og nu har jeg set, at hele dit folk har givet frivilligt og med glæde.
18 Herre, Abrahams, Isaks og Jakobs Gud, jeg beder om, at dit folk altid må bevare den samme indstilling, og at du vil drage deres hjerter til dig. 19 Giv også min søn Salomon et helhjertet ønske om at adlyde alle dine befalinger, love og forordninger, så han kan bygge det tempel, som jeg har gjort forberedelser til.”
20 Derefter sagde David til hele forsamlingen: „Lovsyng Herren, jeres Gud!” Alle lovpriste nu deres fædres Gud og bøjede sig til jorden for Gud og for kongen.
Salomon anerkendes som konge
21 Dagen efter bragte forsamlingen 1000 unge tyre, 1000 væddere og 1000 lam som slagtofre og brændofre til Herren. Der var også drikofre og takofre i massevis, så der var nok at spise til hele forsamlingen. 22 Hele dagen spiste og drak de med stor glæde for Herrens ansigt. Derpå indsatte de endnu en gang kong Davids søn Salomon til konge. Ind for Herrens ansigt salvede de ham som regent, og de salvede samtidig Zadok som ypperstepræst. 23 Efter sin fars død overtog Salomon tronen. Han fik stor fremgang, og hele Israels folk adlød ham. 24 Alle landets ledere, hærens officerer og kong Davids andre sønner aflagde troskabsløfte over for ham. 25 Herren gjorde ham til en populær konge i Israel, som fik større ære og fremgang end nogen anden konge i Israel før ham.
Davids død
26-27 David var konge over Israel i 40 år. I syv år regerede han fra Hebron og i 33 år fra Jerusalem. 28 Han døde i en høj alder som en velhavende og respekteret mand, og hans søn Salomon blev konge i hans sted. 29 Beskrivelser af kong Davids liv og bedrifter findes i profeterne Samuel, Natan og Gads bøger. 30 De fortæller i detaljer om hans regeringstid, og hvad der ellers skete med ham og Israels folk og nabolandene.

Gifts for Building the Temple
29 Then King David said to the whole assembly: “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced.(A) The task is great, because this palatial structure is not for man but for the Lord God. 2 With all my resources I have provided for the temple of my God—gold(B) for the gold work, 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,[a](C) stones of various colors, and all kinds of fine stone and marble—all of these in large quantities.(D) 3 Besides, in my devotion to the temple of my God I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the temple of my God, over and above everything I have provided(E) for this holy temple: 4 three thousand talents[b] of gold (gold of Ophir)(F) and seven thousand talents[c] of refined silver,(G) for the overlaying of the walls of the buildings, 5 for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now, who is willing to consecrate themselves to the Lord today?”
6 Then the leaders of families, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and the officials(H) in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.(I) 7 They(J) gave toward the work on the temple of God five thousand talents[d] and ten thousand darics[e] of gold, ten thousand talents[f] of silver, eighteen thousand talents[g] of bronze and a hundred thousand talents[h] of iron. 8 Anyone who had precious stones(K) gave them to the treasury of the temple of the Lord in the custody of Jehiel the Gershonite.(L) 9 The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly(M) to the Lord. David the king also rejoiced greatly.
David’s Prayer
10 David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,
“Praise be to you, Lord,
the God of our father Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power(N)
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.(O)
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.(P)
12 Wealth and honor(Q) come from you;
you are the ruler(R) of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.
13 Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.
14 “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this?(S) Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.(T) 15 We are foreigners and strangers(U) in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow,(V) without hope. 16 Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you. 17 I know, my God, that you test the heart(W) and are pleased with integrity. All these things I have given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you.(X) 18 Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you. 19 And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion(Y) to keep your commands, statutes and decrees(Z) and to do everything to build the palatial structure for which I have provided.”(AA)
20 Then David said to the whole assembly, “Praise the Lord your God.” So they all praised the Lord, the God of their fathers; they bowed down, prostrating themselves before the Lord and the king.
Solomon Acknowledged as King(AB)
21 The next day they made sacrifices to the Lord and presented burnt offerings to him:(AC) a thousand bulls, a thousand rams and a thousand male lambs, together with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.(AD) 22 They ate and drank with great joy(AE) in the presence of the Lord that day.
Then they acknowledged Solomon son of David as king a second time, anointing him before the Lord to be ruler and Zadok(AF) to be priest. 23 So Solomon sat(AG) on the throne(AH) of the Lord as king in place of his father David. He prospered and all Israel obeyed him. 24 All the officers and warriors, as well as all of King David’s sons,(AI) pledged their submission to King Solomon.
25 The Lord highly exalted(AJ) Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal splendor(AK) such as no king over Israel ever had before.(AL)
The Death of David(AM)
26 David son of Jesse was king(AN) over all Israel.(AO) 27 He ruled over Israel forty years—seven in Hebron(AP) and thirty-three in Jerusalem.(AQ) 28 He died(AR) at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor. His son Solomon succeeded him as king.(AS)
29 As for the events of King David’s reign, from beginning to end, they are written in the records of Samuel the seer,(AT) the records of Nathan(AU) the prophet and the records of Gad(AV) the seer, 30 together with the details of his reign and power, and the circumstances that surrounded him and Israel and the kingdoms of all the other lands.

King James Version
29 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.
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.
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.
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:
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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:
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.
23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.
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.
26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
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.
28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
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,
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.
