* And David blessed Jehovah before the eyes of all the congregation ; and David said , Blessed are You , O Jehovah , the God of Israel , our father , for ever and ever . * To you , O Jehovah , be the greatness , and the power , and the glory , and the victory , and the majesty ; for all in the heavens and in the earth belongs to You , O Jehovah ; Yours is the kingdom , and You lift up Yourself to all as Head ; * and the riches , and the honor come from before You , and You rule over all ; and in Your hand is power and might ; and it is in Your hand to make great , and to give strength to all . * And now , our God , we are giving thanks to You , and giving praise to Your glorious name ; * yea , for who am I , and who my people , that we should be able to offer willingly in this way ? For all is of You , and we have given to You out of Your hand ; * for we are strangers before You , and settlers , like all our fathers ; our days on the land are like a shadow , and there is none abiding . * O Jehovah our God , all this store that we have prepared to build a house to You , for Your holy name , is out of Your hand , and all is of You . * And I know , my God , that You try the heart and are pleased with uprightness ; I , in the uprightness of my heart , have offered willingly all these things ; and now I have watched with joy Your people who are present here offering willingly to You . * O Jehovah , the God of Abraham , Isaac , and Israel , our fathers , keep this forever for the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of your people , and prepare their heart toward You ; * and give a perfect heart to my son Solomon , to keep Your commandments , Your testimonies , and Your statutes , and to do all , even to build this magnificent house , for which I have prepared . * And David said to all the congregation , Now bless Jehovah your God . And all the congregation blessed Jehovah , the God of their fathers , and worshiped Jehovah , and bowed to the king . * And they sacrificed sacrifices to Jehovah , and offered burnt offerings to Jehovah , on the next day after that day : a thousand bullocks , a thousand rams , a thousand lambs , with their drink offerings , and sacrifices in great plenty for all Israel . * And they ate and drank before Jehovah on that day with great joy , and made Solomon the son of David king a second time , and anointed him before Jehovah as ruler , and Zadok as priest . * And Solomon sat on the throne of Jehovah as king instead of his father David , and prospered ; and all Israel obeyed him . * And all the rulers , and the mighty men , and also all the sons of king David , submitted themselves to Solomon the king . * And Jehovah magnified Solomon to a height in the eyes of all Israel , and put the honor of the kingdom on him , such as had not been on any king over Israel before him .
