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. 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 locutusque est David rex ad omnem ecclesiam
Salomonem filium meum unum elegit Deus
adhuc puerum et tenellum
opus autem grande est
neque enim homini praeparatur habitatio sed Deo
2 ego autem totis viribus meis
praeparavi inpensas domus Dei mei
aurum ad vasa aurea et argentum in argentea aes in aenea
ferrum in ferrea lignum ad lignea
lapides onychinos et quasi stibinos et diversorum colorum
omnem pretiosum lapidem et marmor parium abundantissime
3 et super haec quae obtuli in domum Dei mei
de peculio meo aurum et argentum do in templum Dei mei
exceptis his quae paravi in aedem
sanctam
4 tria milia talenta auri de auro Ophir
et septem milia talentorum argenti probatissimi
ad deaurandos parietes templi
5 ut ubicumque opus est aurum de auro
et ubicumque opus est argentum
argenti opera fiant per manus artificum
et si quis sponte offert impleat manum suam hodie
et offerat quod voluerit Domino
6 polliciti sunt itaque principes familiarum et proceres tribuum Israhel
tribuni quoque et centuriones et principes possessionum regis
7 dederuntque in opera domus Dei
auri talenta quinque milia et solidos decem milia
argenti talenta decem milia et aeris talenta decem et octo milia
ferri quoque centum milia talentorum
8 et apud quemcumque inventi sunt lapides
dederunt in thesaurum domus Domini
per manum Ieihel Gersonitis
9 laetatusque est populus cum vota sponte promitterent
quia corde toto offerebant ea Domino
sed et David rex laetatus est gaudio magno
10 et benedixit Domino coram universa multitudine et ait
benedictus es Domine Deus Israhel patris nostri
ab aeterno in aeternum
11 tua est Domine magnificentia et potentia et gloria atque victoria
et tibi laus
cuncta enim quae in caelo sunt et in terra tua sunt
tuum Domine regnum et tu es super omnes principes
12 tuae divitiae et tua est gloria tu dominaris omnium
in manu tua virtus et potentia
in manu tua magnitudo et imperium omnium
13 nunc igitur Deus noster confitemur tibi
et laudamus nomen tuum inclitum
14 quis ego et quis populus meus
ut possimus haec tibi universa promittere
tua sunt omnia
et quae de manu tua accepimus dedimus tibi
15 peregrini enim sumus coram te
et advenae sicut omnes patres nostri
dies nostri quasi umbra super terram et nulla est mora
16 Domine Deus noster omnis haec copia quam paravimus
ut aedificaretur domus nomini sancto tuo
de manu tua est et tua sunt omnia
17 scio Deus meus quod probes corda et simplicitatem diligas
unde et ego in simplicitate cordis mei laetus obtuli universa
haec
et populum tuum qui hic reppertus est
vidi cum ingenti gaudio tibi offerre donaria
18 Domine Deus Abraham et Isaac et Israhel patrum nostrorum
custodi in aeternum hanc voluntatem cordis eorum
et semper in venerationem tui mens ista permaneat
19 Salomoni quoque filio meo da cor perfectum
ut custodiat mandata tua testimonia tua
caerimonias tuas
et faciat universa et aedificet aedem cuius inpensas paravi
20 praecepit autem David universae ecclesiae
benedicite Domino Deo nostro
et benedixit omnis ecclesia Domino Deo patrum suorum
et inclinaverunt se et adoraverunt Deum et deinde regem
21 immolaveruntque victimas Domino
et obtulerunt holocausta die sequenti
tauros mille arietes mille agnos mille
cum libaminibus suis et universo ritu
abundantissime in omnem Israhel
22 et comederunt et biberunt coram Domino
in die illo cum grandi laetitia
et unxerunt secundo Salomonem filium David
unxerunt autem Domino in principem
et Sadoc in pontificem
23 seditque Salomon super solium Domini in regem
pro David patre suo
et cunctis placuit et paruit illi omnis Israhel
24 sed et universi principes et potentes
et cuncti filii regis David dederunt manum
et subiecti fuerunt Salomoni regi
25 magnificavit ergo Dominus Salomonem super omnem Israhel
et dedit illi gloriam regni qualem nullus habuit ante eum rex Israhel
26 igitur David filius Isai regnavit super universum Israhel
27 et dies quibus regnavit super Israhel fuerunt quadraginta anni
in Hebron regnavit septem annis
et in Hierusalem triginta tribus
28 et mortuus est in senectute bona plenus dierum et divitiis et gloria
regnavitque Salomon filius eius pro eo
29 gesta autem David regis priora et novissima
scripta sunt in libro Samuhel videntis
et in libro Nathan prophetae atque in volumine Gad videntis
30 universique regni eius et fortitudinis
et temporum quae transierunt sub eo
sive in Israhel sive in cunctis regnis terrarum
