大卫王备金银铜铁木石建殿

29 大卫王对会众说:“我儿子所罗门是神特选的,还年幼娇嫩。这工程甚大,因这殿不是为人,乃是为耶和华神建造的。 我为我神的殿已经尽力预备金子做金器,银子做银器,铜做铜器,铁做铁器,木做木器,还有红玛瑙、可镶嵌的宝石、彩石和一切的宝石,并许多汉白玉。 且因我心中爱慕我神的殿,就在预备建造圣殿的材料之外,又将我自己积蓄的金银献上,建造我神的殿, 就是俄斐金三千他连得,精炼的银子七千他连得,以贴殿墙, 金子做金器,银子做银器,并借匠人的手制造一切。今日有谁乐意将自己献给耶和华呢?”

会众尽心乐输

于是,众族长和以色列各支派的首领、千夫长、百夫长,并监管王工的官长,都乐意献上。 他们为神殿的使用,献上金子五千他连得零一万达利克,银子一万他连得,铜一万八千他连得,铁十万他连得。 凡有宝石的都交给革顺耶歇,送入耶和华殿的府库。 因这些人诚心乐意献给耶和华,百姓就欢喜,大卫王也大大欢喜。

大卫称颂耶和华

10 所以,大卫在会众面前称颂耶和华说:“耶和华,我们的父以色列的神,是应当称颂直到永永远远的! 11 耶和华啊,尊大、能力、荣耀、强盛、威严都是你的,凡天上地下的都是你的,国度也是你的,并且你为至高,为万有之首。 12 丰富、尊荣都从你而来,你也治理万物。在你手里有大能大力,使人尊大、强盛都出于你。 13 我们的神啊,现在我们称谢你,赞美你荣耀之名。 14 我算什么,我的民算什么,竟能如此乐意奉献?因为万物都从你而来,我们把从你而得的献给你。 15 我们在你面前是客旅,是寄居的,与我们列祖一样。我们在世的日子如影儿,不能长存[a] 16 耶和华我们的神啊,我们预备这许多材料要为你的圣名建造殿宇,都是从你而来,都是属你的。 17 我的神啊,我知道你察验人心,喜悦正直。我以正直的心乐意献上这一切物,现在我喜欢见你的民在这里都乐意奉献于你。 18 耶和华我们列祖亚伯拉罕以撒以色列的神啊,求你使你的民常存这样的心思意念,坚定他们的心归向你。 19 又求你赐我儿子所罗门诚实的心,遵守你的命令、法度、律例,成就这一切的事,用我所预备的建造殿宇。”

会众称颂耶和华

20 大卫对全会众说:“你们应当称颂耶和华你们的神!”于是会众称颂耶和华他们列祖的神,低头拜耶和华与王。 21 次日,他们向耶和华献平安祭和燔祭,就是献公牛一千只、公绵羊一千只、羊羔一千只,并同献的奠祭,又为以色列众人献许多的祭。那日他们在耶和华面前吃喝,大大欢乐。

复膏所罗门立之为王

22 他们奉耶和华的命再膏大卫的儿子所罗门做王,又膏撒督做祭司。 23 于是所罗门坐在耶和华所赐的位上,接续他父亲大卫做王,万事亨通。以色列众人也都听从他。 24 众首领和勇士,并大卫王的众子,都顺服所罗门王。 25 耶和华使所罗门以色列众人眼前甚为尊大,极其威严,胜过在他以前的以色列王。

大卫寿终

26 耶西的儿子大卫以色列众人的王。 27 做王共四十年,在希伯仑做王七年,在耶路撒冷做王三十三年。 28 他年纪老迈,日子满足,享受丰富、尊荣,就死了,他儿子所罗门接续他做王。 29 大卫王始终的事,都写在先见撒母耳的书上和先知拿单并先见迦得的书上。 30 他的国事和他的勇力,以及他和以色列并列国所经过的事,都写在这书上。

Offerings for the Temple

29 Then King David said to the entire assembly, “My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, (A)is still young and inexperienced and the work is great; for (B)the [a]temple is not for man, but for the Lord God. Now (C)with all my ability I have provided for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, onyx stones and inlaid stones, stones of antimony and stones of various colors, and all kinds of precious stones and alabaster in abundance. Moreover, in my delight in the house of my God, the treasure I have of gold and silver, I give to the house of my God, over and above all that I have already provided for the holy [b]temple, namely, (D)3,000 talents of gold, of (E)the gold of Ophir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the [c]buildings; of gold for the things of gold and of silver for the things of silver, that is, for all the work [d]done by the craftsmen. Who then is willing [e]to consecrate himself this day to the Lord?”

Then (F)the rulers of the fathers’ households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with (G)the overseers over the king’s work, offered willingly; and for the service for the house of God they gave 5,000 talents and 10,000 (H)darics of gold, and 10,000 talents of silver, and 18,000 talents of brass, and 100,000 talents of iron. [f]Whoever possessed precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, [g]in care of (I)Jehiel the Gershonite. Then the people rejoiced because they had offered so willingly, for they made their offering to the Lord (J)with a whole heart, and King David also rejoiced greatly.

David’s Prayer

10 So David blessed the Lord in the sight of all the assembly; and David said, “Blessed are You, O Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever. 11 (K)Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. 12 (L)Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and (M)in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone. 13 Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.

14 “But who am I and who are my people that we should [h]be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and from Your hand we have given You. 15 For (N)we are sojourners before You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; (O)our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope. 16 O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy name, it is from Your hand, and all is Yours. 17 Since I know, O my God, that (P)You try the heart and (Q)delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to You. 18 O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, preserve this forever in the [i]intentions of the heart of Your people, and direct their heart to You; 19 and (R)give to my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep Your commandments, Your testimonies and Your statutes, and to do them all, and (S)to build the [j]temple, for which I have made provision.”

20 Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless the Lord your God.” And (T)all the assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers, and (U)bowed low and did homage to the Lord and to the king.

Sacrifices

21 On the next day (V)they [k]made sacrifices to the Lord and offered burnt offerings to the Lord, 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams and 1,000 lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. 22 So they ate and drank that day before the Lord with great gladness.

Solomon Again Made King

And they made Solomon the son of David king (W)a second time, and they (X)anointed him as ruler for the Lord and Zadok as priest. 23 Then (Y)Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father; and he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him. 24 All the officials, the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David [l]pledged allegiance to King Solomon. 25 (Z)The Lord highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and (AA)bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel.

26 Now (AB)David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. 27 (AC)The period which he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven years and [m]in Jerusalem thirty-three years.

Death of David

28 Then he died in (AD)a [n]ripe old age, (AE)full of days, riches and honor; and his son Solomon reigned in his place. 29 Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the chronicles of (AF)Samuel the seer, in the chronicles of (AG)Nathan the prophet and in the chronicles of (AH)Gad the seer, 30 with all his reign, his power, and the circumstances which came on him, on Israel, and on all the kingdoms of the lands.

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. 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) 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: 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, 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?”

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) 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. 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) 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.
