And the families of Kirjathjearim Qiryath Y @#
ariym #;
the Ithrites ,
and the Puhites ,
and the Shumathites ,
and the Mishraites Mishra #
iy #;
of them came the Zareathites Tsor #
iy #,
and the Eshtaulites #
Eshta #
uliy #.
*
The sons of Salma ;
Bethlehem Beyth ,
and the Netophathites ,
Ataroth ,
the house of Joab #
Atrowth beyth Yow #

and half of the Manahethites Chatsiy ham-M @

the Zorites Tsor #

*
And the families of the scribes which dwelt (
8675 )
at Jabez Ya #
bets #;
the Tirathites Tir #
athiy #,
the Shimeathites Shim #
athiy #,
and Suchathites .
These are the Kenites that came of Hemath ,
the father of the house of Rechab .
*
And it came to pass ,
that after the year was expired ,
at the time that kings go out to battle ,
Joab led forth the power of the army ,
and wasted the country of the children of Ammon ,
and came and besieged Rabbah .
But David tarried at Jerusalem .
And Joab smote Rabbah ,
and destroyed it .
*
And David took the crown of their king from off his head ro #
sh #,
and found it to weigh a talent of gold ,
and there were precious stones in it ;
and it was set upon Davids head ro #
sh #:
and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city .
*
And he brought out the people that were in it ,
and cut them with saws ,
and with harrows of iron ,
and with axes .
Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon .
And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem .
*
And it came to pass after this ,
that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines ;
at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai ,
that was of the children of the giant :
and they were subdued .
*
And there was war again with the Philistines ;
and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite ,
whose spear staff was like a weavers beam .
*
And yet again there was war at Gath ,
where was a man of great stature ,
whose fingers and toes were four and twenty ,
six on each hand ,
and six on each foot :
and he also was the son of the giant .
*
But when he defied Israel Yisra #
el #,
Jonathan the son of Shimea Davids brother slew him .
*
These were born unto the giant in Gath ;
and they fell by the hand of David ,
and by the hand of his servants .
*
And Satan stood up against Israel Yisra #
el #,
and provoked David to number Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people ,
Go ,
number Israel from Beersheba B @#
ereven to Dan ;
and bring the number of them to me ,
that I may know it .
*
And Joab answered ,
The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be :
but ,
my lord the king ,
are they not all my lords servants ?
why then doth my lord require this thing ?
why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel Yisra #
el #?
*
Nevertheless the kings word prevailed against Joab Yow #
ab #.
Wherefore Joab departed ,
and went throughout all Israel Yisra #
el #,
and came to Jerusalem .
*
And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David .
And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword :
and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword .
*
But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them :
for the kings word was abominable to Joab Yow #
ab #.
*
And God was displeased with this thing ;
therefore he smote Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And David said unto God ,
I have sinned greatly m @#
od #,
because I have done this thing :
but now ,
I beseech thee ,
do away the iniquity of thy servant ;
for I have done very foolishly .
*
And the LORD spake unto Gad ,
Davids seer ,
saying ,
*
Go and tell David ,
saying ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
I offer thee three things :
choose thee one of them ,
that I may do it unto thee .
*
So Gad came to David ,
and said unto him ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
Choose thee
*
Either three years famine ra #
ab #;
or three months to be destroyed before thy foes ,
while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee ;
or else three days the sword of the LORD ,
even the pestilence ,
in the land ,
and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel Yisra #
el #.
Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me .
*
And David said unto Gad ,
I am in a great strait :
let me fall now into the hand of the LORD ;
for very great are his mercies :
but let me not fall into the hand of man .
*
So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel Yisra #
el #:
and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men .
*
And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it :
and as he was destroying ,
the LORD beheld ,
and he repented him of the evil ,
and said to the angel that destroyed ,
It is enough ,
stay now thine hand .
And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite .
*
And David lifted up his eyes ,
and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven ,
having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem .
Then David and the elders of Israel ,
who were clothed in sackcloth ,
fell upon their faces .
*
And David said unto God ,
Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered ?
even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed ;
but as for these sheep tso #
n #,
what have they done ?
let thine hand ,
I pray thee ,
O LORD my God ,
be on me ,
and on my fathers house ;
but not on thy people ,
that they should be plagued .
*
Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David ,
that David should go up ,
and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite .
*
And David went up at the saying of Gad ,
which he spake in the name of the LORD .
*
And Ornan turned back ,
and saw the angel mal #
ak #;
and his four sons with him hid themselves .
Now Ornan was threshing wheat .
*
And as David came to Ornan ,
Ornan looked and saw David ,
and went out of the threshingfloor ,
and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground .
*
Then David said to Ornan ,
Grant me the place of this threshingfloor ,
that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD :
thou shalt grant it me for the full price :
that the plague may be stayed from the people .
*
And Ornan said unto David ,
Take it to thee ,
and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes :
lo ,
I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings ,
and the threshing instruments for wood ,
and the wheat for the meat offering ;
I give it all .
*
And king David said to Ornan ,
Nay ;
but I will verily buy it for the full price :
for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD ,
nor offer burnt offerings without cost .
*
So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight .
*
And David built there an altar unto the LORD ,
and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings ,
and called upon the LORD ;
and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering .
*
And the LORD commanded the angel mal #
ak #;
and he put up #
his sword again into the sheath thereof .
*
At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite ,
then he sacrificed there .
*
For the tabernacle of the LORD ,
which Moses made in the wilderness ,
and the altar of the burnt offering ,
were at that season in the high place at Gibeon Gib #
own #.
*
But David could not go before it to enquire of God :
for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD .
*
Then David said ,
This is the house of the LORD God ,
and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel Yisra #
el #;
and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God .
*
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates sha #
ar #,
and for the joinings ;
and brass in abundance without weight ;
*
Also cedar trees in abundance #
H4557 :
for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David .
*
And David said ,
Solomon my son is young and tender ,
and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical ,
of fame and of glory throughout all countries :
I will therefore now make preparation for it .
So David prepared abundantly before his death .
*
Then he called for Solomon his son ,
and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And David said to Solomon ,
My son ,
as for me ,
it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God :
*
But the word of the LORD came to me ,
saying ,
Thou hast shed blood abundantly ,
and hast made great wars :
thou shalt not build an house unto my name ,
because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight .
*
Behold ,
a son shall be born to thee ,
who shall be a man of rest ;
and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about :
for his name shall be Solomon ,
and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days .
*
He shall build an house for my name ;
and he shall be my son ,
and I will be his father ;
and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever .
*
Now ,
my son ,
the LORD be with thee ;
and prosper thou ,
and build the house of the LORD thy God ,
as he hath said of thee .
*
Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding ,
and give thee charge concerning Israel Yisra #
el #,
that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God .
*
Then shalt thou prosper ,
if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel Yisra #
el #:
be strong ,
and of good courage ;
dread not ,
nor be dismayed .
*
Now ,
behold ,
in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold ,
and a thousand thousand talents of silver ;
and of brass and iron without weight ;
for it is in abundance :
timber also and stone have I prepared ;
and thou mayest add thereto .
*
Moreover there are workmen #
with thee in abundance ,
hewers and workers of stone and timber ,
and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work m @
la #
kah #.
*
Of the gold ,
the silver ,
and the brass ,
and the iron ,
there is no number .
Arise therefore ,
and be doing ,
and the LORD be with thee .
*
David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son ,
saying ,
*
Is not the LORD your God with you ?
and hath he not given you rest on every side ?
for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand ;
and the land is subdued before the LORD ,
and before his people .
*
Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God ;
arise therefore ,
and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God ,
to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD ,
and the holy vessels of God ,
into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD .
*
So when David was old and full of days ,
he made Solomon his son king over Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel Yisra #
el #,
with the priests and the Levites .
*
Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward ma #
al #:
and their number by their polls ,
man by man ,
was thirty and eight thousand .
*
Of which #
el-leh #,
twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD ;
and six thousand were officers and judges :
*
Moreover four thousand were porters show #
er #;
and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made ,
said David ,
to praise therewith .
*
And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi ,
namely ,
Gershon ,
Kohath ,
and Merari .
*
Of the Gershonites were ,
Laadan La #
dan #,
and Shimei Shim #
iy #.
*
The sons of Laadan La #
dan #;
the chief was Jehiel Y @
chiy #
el #,
and Zetham ,
and Joel Yow #
el #,
three .
*
The sons of Shimei Shim #
iy #;
Shelomith Sh @,
and Haziel Chaziy #
el #,
and Haran ,
three .
These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan La #
dan #.
*
And the sons of Shimei were ,
Jahath ,
Zina ,
and Jeush Y @#
uwsh #,
and Beriah B @
riy #
ah #.
These four were the sons of Shimei Shim #
iy #.
*
And Jahath was the chief ro #
sh #,
and Zizah the second :
but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons ;
therefore they were in one reckoning ,
according to their fathers house .
*
The sons of Kohath ;
Amram ,
Izhar ,
Hebron ,
and Uzziel #
Uzziy #
el #,
four .
*
The sons of Amram ;
Aaron and Moses :
and Aaron was separated ,
that he should sanctify the most holy things ,
he and his sons for ever ,
to burn incense before the LORD ,
to minister unto him ,
and to bless in his name for ever .
*
Now concerning Moses the man of God ,
his sons were named of the tribe of Levi .
*
The sons of Moses were ,
Gershom ,
and Eliezer #
Eliy #
ezer #.
*
Of the sons of Gershom ,
Shebuel was the chief ro #
sh #.
*
And the sons of Eliezer #
Eliy #
ezer #
were ,
Rehabiah the chief ro #
sh #.
And Eliezer #
Eliy #
ezer #
had none other sons ;
but the sons of Rehabiah were very many .
*
Of the sons of Izhar ;
Shelomith the chief ro #
sh #.
*
Of the sons of Hebron ;
Jeriah the first ro #
sh #,
Amariah the second ,
Jahaziel the third ,
and Jekameam the fourth r @
biy #
iy #.
*
Of the sons of Uzziel #
Uzziy #
el #;
Michah the first ro #
sh #,
and Jesiah the second .
*
The sons of Merari ;
Mahli ,
and Mushi .
The sons of Mahli ;
Eleazar #
El #
azar #,
and Kish .
*
And Eleazar #
El #
azar #
died ,
and had no sons ,
but daughters :
and their brethren the sons of Kish took them .
*
The sons of Mushi ;
Mahli ,
and Eder ,
and Jeremoth ,
three .
*
These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers ;
even the chief of the fathers ,
as they were counted by number of names by their polls ,
that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD ,
from the age of twenty years and upward ma #
al #.
*
For David said ,
The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people ,
that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever :
*
And also unto the Levites ;
they shall no more carry the tabernacle ,
nor any vessels of it for the service thereof .
*
For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above ma #
al #:
*
Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD ,
in the courts ,
and in the chambers ,
and in the purifying of all holy things ,
and the work of the service of the house of God ;
*
Both for the shewbread lechem #
ma #
areketh #,
and for the fine flour for meat offering ,
and for the unleavened cakes ,
and for that which is baked in the pan ,
and for that which is fried ,
and for all manner of measure and size ;
*
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD ,
and likewise at even ;
*
And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths ,
in the new moons ,
and on the set feasts mow #
ed #,
by number ,
according to the order commanded unto them ,
continually before the LORD :
*
And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #
ed #,
and the charge of the holy place ,
and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren ,
in the service of the house of the LORD .
*
Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron .
The sons of Aaron ;
Nadab ,
and Abihu ,
Eleazar #
El #
azar #,
and Ithamar .
*
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father ,
and had no children :
therefore Eleazar #
El #
azar #
and Ithamar executed the priests office .
*
And David distributed them ,
both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar #
El #
azar #,
and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar ,
according to their offices in their service .
*
And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar #
El #
azar #
than of the sons of Ithamar ;
and thus were they divided .
Among the sons of Eleazar #
El #
azar #
there were sixteen shesh #
chief men of the house of their fathers ,
and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers .
*
Thus were they divided by lot ,
one sort #
el-leh #
with another #
el-leh #;
for the governors of the sanctuary ,
and governors of the house of God ,
were of the sons of Eleazar #
El #
azar #,
and of the sons of Ithamar .
*
And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe ,
one of the Levites ,
wrote them before the king ,
and the princes ,
and Zadok the priest ,
and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar ,
and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites :
one principal household being taken for Eleazar #
El #
azar #,
and one taken for Ithamar .
*
Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib ,
the second to Jedaiah Y @
kda #

*
The third to Harim ,
the fourth to Seorim S @#
oriym #,
*
The fifth to Malchijah ,
the sixth to Mijamin ,

*
These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD ,
according to their manner ,
under Aaron their father ,
as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him .
*
And the rest of the sons of Levi were these :
Of the sons of Amram ;
Shubael Sh @

of the sons of Shubael Sh @

Jehdeiah .

Concerning Rehabiah :

The brother of Michah was Isshiah :
of the sons of Isshiah ;
Zechariah .

The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi :
the sons of Jaaziah Ya #
aziyahuw #;
Beno .
*
The sons of Merari by Jaaziah Ya #
aziyahuw #;
Beno ,
and Shoham ,
and Zaccur ,
and Ibri .
*
Of Mahli came Eleazar #
El #
azar #,
who had no sons .
*
Concerning Kish :
the son of Kish was Jerahmeel Y @
rachm @#
el #.
*
The sons also of Mushi ;
Mahli ,
and Eder ,
and Jerimoth .
These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers .
*
These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king ,
and Zadok ,
and Ahimelech ,
and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites ,
even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren .
*
Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph ,
and of Heman ,
and of Jeduthun ,
who should prophesy (
8675 )
with harps ,
with psalteries ,
and with cymbals :
and the number of the workmen #
H4399according to their service was :
*
Of the sons of Asaph ;
Zaccur ,
and Joseph ,
and Nethaniah ,
and Asarelah #
Asar #
elah #,
the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph ,
which prophesied according to the order of the king .
*
Of Jeduthun :
the sons of Jeduthun ;
Gedaliah ,
and Zeri ,
and Jeshaiah Y @
sha #
yah #,
Hashabiah ,
and Mattithiah ,
six ,
under the hands of their father Jeduthun ,
who prophesied with a harp ,
to give thanks and to praise the LORD .
*
Of Heman :
the sons of Heman ;
Bukkiah ,
Mattaniah ,
Uzziel #
Uzziy #
el #,
Shebuel Sh @
buw #

and Jerimoth ,
Hananiah ,
Hanani ,
Eliathah #

athah #,
Giddalti ,
and Romamtiezer Rowmamtiy #
Ezer ,
Joshbekashah ,
Mallothi ,
Hothir ,
and Mahazioth Machaziy #
owth #:
*
All these were the sons of Heman the kings seer in the words of God ,
to lift up the horn .
And God gave to Heman fourteen #
H6240sons and three daughters .
*
All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD ,
with cymbals ,
psalteries ,
and harps ,
for the service of the house of God ,
according to the kings order to Asaph ,
Jeduthun ,
and Heman .
*
So the number of them ,
with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD ,
even all that were cunning ,
was two hundred fourscore and eight .
*
And they cast lots ,
ward against ward ,
as well the small as the great ,
the teacher as the scholar .

Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph :

But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under :
because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens .
*
Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number ,
but he finished not ,
because there fell wrath for it against Israel Yisra #

neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles dabar #

and captains over the hundreds me #
ah #,
and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king ,
and of his sons ,
with the officers ,
and with the mighty men ,
and with all the valiant men ,
unto Jerusalem .
*
Then David the king stood up upon his feet ,
and said ,
Hear me ,
my brethren ,
and my people :
As for me ,
I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD ,
and for the footstool hadom #
of our God ,
and had made ready for the building :
*
But God said unto me ,
Thou shalt not build an house for my name ,
because thou hast been a man of war ,
and hast shed blood .
*
Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever :
for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler ;
and of the house of Judah ,
the house of my father ;
and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel Yisra #
el #:
*
And of all my sons , (
for the LORD hath given me many sons , )
he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And he said unto me ,
Solomon thy son ,
he shall build my house and my courts :
for I have chosen him to be my son ,
and I will be his father .
*
Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever ,
if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments ,
as at this day .
*
Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD ,
and in the audience of our God ,
keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God :
that ye may possess this good land ,
and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever .
*
And thou ,
Solomon my son ,
know thou the God of thy father ,
and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind :
for the LORD searcheth all hearts ,
and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts :
if thou seek him ,
he will be found of thee ;
but if thou forsake him ,
he will cast thee off for ever .
*
Take heed now ;
for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary :
be strong ,
and do it .
*
Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch ,
and of the houses thereof ,
and of the treasuries thereof ,
and of the upper chambers thereof ,
and of the inner parlours thereof ,
and of the place of the mercy seat ,
*
And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit ,
of the courts of the house of the LORD ,
and of all the chambers round about ,
of the treasuries of the house of God ,
and of the treasuries of the dedicated things :
*
Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites ,
and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD ,
and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD .
*
He gave of gold by weight for things of gold ,
for all instruments of all manner of service ;
silver also for all instruments of silver by weight ,
for all instruments of every kind of service :
*
Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold ,
and for their lamps of gold ,
by weight for every candlestick ,
and for the lamps thereof :
and for the candlesticks of silver by weight ,
both for the candlestick ,
and also for the lamps thereof ,
according to the use of every candlestick .
*
And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread ma #
areketh #,
for every table ;
and likewise silver for the tables of silver :
*
Also pure gold for the fleshhooks ,
and the bowls ,
and the cups :
and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason ;
and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver :
*
And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight ;
and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims ,
that spread out their wings ,
and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD .
*
All this ,
said David ,
the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me ,
even all the works of this pattern .
*
And David said to Solomon his son ,
Be strong and of good courage ,
and do it :
fear not ,
nor be dismayed :
for the LORD God ,
even my God ,
will be with thee ;
he will not fail thee ,
nor forsake thee ,
until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD .
*
And ,
behold ,
the courses of the priests and the Levites ,
even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God :
and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man ,
for any manner of service :
also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
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 :
*
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 ?
*
Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel Yisra #
el #,
and the captains of thousands and of hundreds me #
ah #,
with the rulers of the kings work m @
la #
kah #,
offered willingly ,
*
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 sh @
moneh #
thousand talents ,
and one hundred thousand talents of iron .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Thine ,
O LORD ,
is the greatness ,
and the power ,
and the glory tiph #
arah #,
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 .
*
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 .
*
Now therefore ,
our God ,
we thank thee ,
and praise thy glorious name .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
O LORD God of Abraham ,
Isaac ,
and of Israel Yisra #
el #,
our fathers ,
keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people ,
and prepare their heart unto thee :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 Yisra #
el #:
*
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 .
*
Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father ,
and prospered ;
and all Israel obeyed him .
*
And all the princes ,
and the mighty men ,
and all the sons likewise of king David ,
submitted themselves yad #
unto Solomon the king .
*
And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel Yisra #
el #,
and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty #
arba #
iym #
years ;
seven years reigned he in Hebron ,
and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem .
*
And he died in a good old age ,
full of days ,
riches ,
and honour :
and Solomon his son reigned in his stead .
*
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 ,
*
With all his reign and his might ,
and the times that went over him ,
and over Israel Yisra #
el #,
and over all the kingdoms of the countries .
