1 Crónicas 29
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Ofrendas para construir el templo
29 El rey David le dijo a todo el pueblo de Israel:
«Mi hijo Salomón, el único al que Dios ha elegido, es todavía muy joven e inexperto, y el trabajo que le espera es grande, porque el templo no es para los hombres sino para el SEÑOR Dios. 2 Yo me he esforzado por dejar listo todo lo necesario para el templo de mi Dios. Conseguí ya el material apropiado para cada objeto; tengo el oro, la plata, el bronce, el hierro y la madera para usar según corresponda. También están listas las piedras de ónice para las instalaciones, las baldosas de colores, toda clase de piedras preciosas y gran cantidad de mármol. 3 Además de todo lo que ya tengo listo para el templo, voy a entregar mi tesoro personal de oro y plata. Estoy dispuesto a entregarlo todo para el templo de mi Dios. 4 Tengo 100 000 kilos[a] de oro de Ofir y doscientas sesenta toneladas de plata refinada para cubrir las paredes de cada salón. 5 Entrego oro para los objetos de oro y plata para los objetos de plata. Los dejo en manos de expertos artesanos. Ahora, ¿quién de ustedes está dispuesto hoy a dedicarse al SEÑOR?»
6 Entonces los jefes de familia, los jefes de las tribus de Israel, los jefes de 1000 y de 100 soldados, y los funcionarios administrativos del rey hicieron voluntariamente sus donaciones. 7 Lo que ofrendaron al servicio de la casa de Dios fueron 165 000 kilos y 10 000 monedas[b] de oro, 330 000 kilos de plata, y como 600 000 kilos de bronce y 3 300 000 kilos de hierro. 8 Todos los que tenían piedras preciosas las donaron para la tesorería del templo del SEÑOR que estaba a cargo de Jehiel el guersonita. 9 Toda la gente estaba contenta de tanta generosidad porque habían dado de todo corazón y voluntariamente al SEÑOR. El rey David también estaba muy contento.
Oración de alabanza de David
10 Luego David hizo esta oración de alabanza al SEÑOR frente a todo su pueblo:
«¡Bendito seas por siempre, SEÑOR,
Dios de Israel y padre nuestro!
11 SEÑOR, sólo a ti te corresponden
la grandeza y el poder, la gloria,
el esplendor y el honor.
Porque a ti te pertenece todo lo que existe
en el cielo y en la tierra.
Tú, SEÑOR, eres el único soberano
y tuyo es el reino.
12 La riqueza y el honor vienen de ti;
tú lo gobiernas todo.
Tienes en tus manos el poder y la fuerza.
También está en tus manos el poder de decidir a quién hacer grande y poderoso.
13 Dios nuestro, ahora te damos gracias
y alabamos tu santo nombre.
14 »¿Quién soy yo o quién es mi pueblo para hacerte estas ofrendas? En realidad todo viene de ti y simplemente te estamos dando de lo que hemos recibido de ti. 15 Porque ante ti no somos más que inmigrantes; viajeros temporales igual que lo fueron nuestros antepasados. Nuestros días en la tierra sólo son sombra sin esperanza. 16 SEÑOR, Dios nuestro, hemos reunido todas estas riquezas para construirte un templo para honrar tu nombre. Todo eso viene de ti y a ti te pertenece. 17 Yo sé, Dios mío, que tú examinas el corazón de la gente y te agrada la persona íntegra y correcta. Por eso, te entrego todo esto, con generosidad y de todo corazón. También he visto cómo toda esta gente aquí presente se siente dichosa de ofrecerte todo lo que tiene. 18 SEÑOR, Dios de nuestros antepasados Abraham, Isaac y Jacob, te ruego que conserves siempre esta buena voluntad en el corazón de tu pueblo; guía su corazón hacia ti. 19 Dale un corazón íntegro a mi hijo Salomón para que pueda seguir cumpliendo y poniendo en práctica tus mandamientos, estatutos y decretos. Haz que él pueda construir el templo para el que he hecho todos los preparativos».
20 Luego David les dijo a todos: «Alaben al SEÑOR su Dios». Entonces todos alabaron al SEÑOR, Dios de sus antepasados, y se inclinaron ante el SEÑOR y ante el rey.
Coronación de Salomón
21 Al día siguiente sacrificaron animales al SEÑOR y ofrecieron al SEÑOR sacrificios que deben quemarse completamente. Se sacrificaron 1000 toros, 1000 carneros y 1000 corderos. Se hicieron ofrendas de vino y abundantes sacrificios por todo Israel. 22 Ese día todos bebieron y comieron felices en honor al SEÑOR, por segunda vez proclamaron como rey[c] a Salomón hijo de David, lo consagraron rey ante el SEÑOR y nombraron sacerdote a Sadoc. 23 Entonces Salomón se sentó en el trono del SEÑOR como rey, en reemplazo de su papá David, y tuvo mucho éxito. Todo Israel lo obedeció. 24 Todos los jefes, guerreros y los demás hijos del rey David prometieron ser leales al rey Salomón. 25 El SEÑOR hizo engrandecer enormemente a Salomón ante todo Israel y le otorgó el esplendor y la gloria que ningún otro rey tuvo antes que él en Israel.
Muerte de David
(1 R 2:10-12)
26 David hijo de Isaí fue rey de todo Israel 27 durante 40 años. Gobernó siete años en Hebrón, y 33 años en Jerusalén. 28 David murió a una avanzada edad lleno de riqueza, honor y gloria. Su hijo Salomón reinó en su lugar.
29 Todos los hechos que ocurrieron durante el reinado de David, desde el primero hasta el último, están registrados en las crónicas del vidente Samuel, del profeta Natán y del vidente Gad. 30 Allí hay una descripción completa del reinado de David, de su gran poder, y de todos los sucesos que les afectaron a él, a Israel y a los países vecinos.

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.
1 Chronicles 29
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
29 And King David said to all the assembly, Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young, tender, and inexperienced; and the work is great, for the palace is not to be for man but for the Lord God.
2 So I have provided with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be of gold, silver for things of silver, bronze for things of bronze, iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood, as well as onyx or beryl stones, stones to be set, stones of antimony, stones of various colors, and all sorts of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
3 Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, in addition to all I have prepared for the holy house, I have a private treasure of gold and silver which I give for the house of my God:
4 It is 3,000 talents of gold, gold of Ophir, 7,000 talents of refined silver for overlaying the walls of the house,
5 Gold for the uses of gold, silver for the uses of silver, and for every work to be done by craftsmen. Now who will offer willingly to fill his hand [and consecrate it] today to the Lord [like one consecrating himself to the priesthood]?
6 Then the chiefs 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 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics, of silver 10,000 talents, of bronze 18,000 talents, and 100,000 talents of iron.
8 And 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 these had given willingly, for with a whole and blameless heart they had offered freely to the Lord. King David also rejoiced greatly.
10 Therefore David blessed the Lord before all the assembly and said, Be praised, adored, and thanked, O Lord, the God of Israel our [forefather], forever and ever.
11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and the earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and Yours it is to be exalted as Head over all.
12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hands are power and might; in Your hands it is to make great and to give strength to all.
13 Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name and those attributes which that name denotes.
14 But who am I, and what are my people, that we should retain strength and be able to offer thus so willingly? For all things come from You, and out of Your own [hand] we have given You.
15 For we are strangers before You, and sojourners, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope or expectation of remaining.
16 O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy Name and the token of Your presence comes from Your hand, and is all Your own.
17 I know also, my God, that You try the heart and delight in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things. And now I have seen with joy Your people who are present here offer voluntarily 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 and establish their hearts toward You.
19 And give to Solomon my son a blameless heart to keep Your commandments, testimonies, and statutes, and to do all that is necessary to build the palace [for You] for which I have made provision.
20 And David said to all the assembly, Now adore (praise and thank) the Lord your God! And all the assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers, and bowed down and did obeisance to the Lord and to the king [as His earthly representative].
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, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
22 They ate and drank before the Lord on that day with great rejoicing. They made Solomon son of David king a second time, and anointed him as prince for the Lord and Zadok to be high priest.
23 Then 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 leaders and mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, pledged allegiance to King Solomon.
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 son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27 The time he reigned over Israel was forty years—he reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
28 He died in a good old age [his seventy-first year], full and satisfied with days, riches, and honor. Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
29 Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the recorded words of Samuel the seer, Nathan the prophet, and Gad the seer,
30 With accounts of all his reign and his might, and the times through which he and Israel passed, as did all the kingdoms of the countries.
