1 Chronicles 29
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.

Amplified Bible
Offerings for the Temple
29 And King David said to all the assembly, “My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is still young and inexperienced and the work is great; for the [a]temple is not for man but for the Lord God. 2 So with all my ability I have provided for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, silver for the things of silver, bronze for the things of bronze, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, as well as onyx stones and stones to be inlaid, stones of antimony (a brittle, silvery-white metal) and stones of various colors, and all kinds of precious stones and alabaster in abundance. 3 Moreover, because I delight in the house of my God, the [personal] treasure that I have of gold and silver, I give to the house of my God, in addition to all that I have already provided for the holy house: 4 namely, 3,000 talents of gold from the gold of Ophir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings; 5 gold for the things of gold, silver for the things of silver, that is, for all the work to be done by craftsmen. Now who is willing to [b]consecrate himself today to the Lord?”
6 Then the rulers of the fathers’ households, and leaders of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with the overseers of the king’s work, offered willingly 7 and gave for the service of the house of God: 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, and 10,000 talents of silver, and 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron. 8 Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, in the care of Jehiel the Gershonite. 9 Then the people rejoiced because they had given willingly, for with a whole and blameless heart they had offered freely to the Lord. King David also rejoiced greatly.
David’s Prayer
10 Therefore David blessed the Lord in the sight of all the assembly and said, “Blessed (praised, adored, and thanked) are You, O Lord God of Israel (Jacob) our father, forever and ever. 11 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 on the earth; Yours is the dominion and kingdom, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. 12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all. In Your hand is power and might; and it is in Your hands to make great and to give strength to 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 be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and from Your own hand we have given to You. 15 For we are [c]sojourners before You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope [of remaining]. 16 O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy Name, it is from Your hand, and is all Your own. 17 I know also, my God, that You test the heart and delight in uprightness and integrity. In the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. So now with joy I have seen Your people who are present here, make their offerings willingly and freely to You. 18 O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the minds of Your people, and direct their hearts toward You; 19 and give to my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep Your commandments, Your testimonies, and Your statutes, and to do all [that is necessary] to build the temple [for You], for which I have made provision.”
20 Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless (praise, thank) the Lord your God.” And all the assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers, and bowed down and honored the Lord and to the king [as His earthly representative].
Sacrifices
21 The next day they offered sacrifices and burnt offerings to the Lord: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, and 1,000 lambs, with their drink offerings (libations) and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. 22 They ate and drank that day before the Lord with great rejoicing.
Solomon Again Made King
They made Solomon the son of David king a second time, and anointed him as ruler for the Lord and Zadok as [high] priest. 23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king in place of David his father; and he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him. 24 All of the leaders and warriors, and also all the sons of King David, pledged allegiance to King Solomon. 25 The Lord highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. 27 The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
Death of David
28 He died in a good old age [his seventy-first year], full of days (satisfied), riches and honor. Solomon his son reigned in his place. 29 Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the chronicles (records) of Samuel the seer, in the chronicles of Nathan the prophet, and in the chronicles of Gad the seer, 30 with [accounts of] all his reign, and his power, and the times and circumstances which came on him, on Israel, and on all the kingdoms of the [surrounding] lands.

Ofrendas para el templo
29 Entonces el rey David dijo a toda la asamblea: «Mi hijo Salomón, el único que Dios ha escogido, es aún joven y sin experiencia(A), y la obra es grande; porque el templo[a] no es para hombre, sino para el Señor Dios(B). 2 Con toda mi habilidad he provisto para la casa de mi Dios, el oro para las cosas de oro, la plata para las cosas de plata, el bronce para las cosas de bronce, el hierro para las cosas de hierro, la madera para las cosas de madera; también piedras de ónice, piedras de engaste, piedras de antimonio, piedras de varios colores, toda clase de piedras preciosas y piedras de alabastro en abundancia(C). 3 Además, en mi amor por la casa de mi Dios, el tesoro que tengo de oro y de plata, lo doy a la casa de mi Dios, además de todo lo que ya he provisto para la santa casa, 4 es decir, 102 toneladas de oro(D), del oro de Ofir(E), y 238 toneladas de plata acrisolada para revestir las paredes de los edificios; 5 de oro para las cosas de oro, y de plata para las cosas de plata, es decir, para toda la obra hecha por los artesanos. ¿Quién, pues, está dispuesto a dar su ofrenda hoy al Señor?».
6 Entonces los jefes de las casas paternas, y los jefes de las tribus de Israel, y los capitanes de millares y de centenares, con los supervisores sobre la obra del rey(F), ofrecieron voluntariamente sus donativos(G); 7 y para el servicio de la casa de Dios dieron 170 toneladas y 10,000 monedas (85 kilos) de oro(H), 1,340 toneladas de plata, 612 toneladas de bronce y 3,400 toneladas de hierro. 8 Y todos los que tenían piedras preciosas las dieron al tesoro de la casa del Señor a cargo de Jehiel(I) el gersonita. 9 Entonces el pueblo se alegró porque habían contribuido voluntariamente, porque de todo corazón(J) hicieron su ofrenda al Señor; y también el rey David se alegró en gran manera.
10 Y David bendijo al Señor en presencia de toda la asamblea, y dijo: «Bendito eres, oh Señor, Dios de Israel, nuestro padre por los siglos de los siglos. 11 Tuya es, oh Señor, la grandeza y el poder y la gloria y la victoria y la majestad(K), en verdad, todo lo que hay en los cielos y en la tierra; Tuyo es el dominio, oh Señor, y te exaltas como soberano sobre todo. 12 De Ti proceden la riqueza y el honor(L); Tú reinas sobre todo y en Tu mano están el poder y la fortaleza(M), y en Tu mano está engrandecer y fortalecer a todos. 13 Ahora pues, Dios nuestro, te damos gracias y alabamos Tu glorioso nombre. 14 Pero ¿quién soy yo y quién es mi pueblo para que podamos ofrecer tan generosamente todo esto? Porque de Ti proceden todas las cosas, y de lo recibido de Tu mano te damos. 15 Porque somos extranjeros(N) y peregrinos delante de Ti, como lo fueron todos nuestros padres; como una sombra son nuestros días sobre la tierra(O), y no hay esperanza. 16 Oh Señor, Dios nuestro, toda esta abundancia que hemos preparado para edificarte una casa para Tu santo nombre procede de Tu mano, y todo es Tuyo. 17 Sabiendo yo, Dios mío, que Tú pruebas el corazón(P) y te deleitas en la rectitud, yo he ofrecido voluntariamente todas estas cosas en la integridad de mi corazón(Q); y ahora he visto con alegría a Tu pueblo, que está aquí, hacer sus ofrendas a Ti voluntariamente. 18 Oh Señor, Dios de nuestros padres Abraham, Isaac e Israel, preserva esto para siempre en las intenciones del corazón de Tu pueblo, y dirige su corazón hacia Ti. 19 Dale a mi hijo Salomón un corazón perfecto para que guarde Tus mandamientos, Tus testimonios y Tus estatutos, para que los cumpla todos(R) y edifique el templo[b], para el cual he provisto(S)».
20 Entonces David dijo a toda la asamblea: «Bendigan ahora al Señor su Dios». Y toda la asamblea bendijo al Señor(T), al Dios de sus padres, y se inclinaron y se postraron ante el Señor y ante el rey(U).
21 Al día siguiente sacrificaron víctimas al Señor y le ofrecieron holocaustos: 1,000 novillos, 1,000 carneros y 1,000 corderos, con sus libaciones y sacrificios en abundancia por todo Israel(V). 22 Comieron, pues, y bebieron aquel día delante del Señor con gran alegría.
Y por segunda vez proclamaron rey a Salomón(W), hijo de David, y lo ungieron como príncipe para el Señor, y a Sadoc como sacerdote(X). 23 Entonces Salomón se sentó en el trono del Señor como rey en lugar de su padre David; prosperó y todo Israel le obedeció(Y). 24 Y todos los oficiales, los hombres valientes, y también todos los hijos del rey David juraron obediencia al rey Salomón. 25 El Señor engrandeció en gran manera a Salomón ante los ojos de todo Israel(Z), y le dio un reinado glorioso como nunca había tenido ningún rey en Israel antes de él(AA).
26 David, hijo de Isaí, reinó sobre todo Israel(AB); 27 el tiempo que reinó sobre Israel fue de cuarenta años; reinó en Hebrón siete años y en Jerusalén reinó treinta y tres(AC). 28 Y murió en buena vejez(AD), lleno de días, riquezas y gloria; y su hijo Salomón reinó en su lugar(AE). 29 Los hechos del rey David, desde el primero hasta el último, están escritos en las crónicas del vidente Samuel(AF), en las crónicas del profeta Natán(AG) y en las crónicas del vidente Gad(AH), 30 con todo su reinado, su poder y todos los acontecimientos que vinieron sobre él, sobre Israel y sobre todos los reinos de aquellas tierras.
