29:18 O Lord <03068> God <0430> of our ancestors <01> Abraham <085>, Isaac <03327>, and Israel <03478>, maintain <08104> the motives <04284> <03336> of your people <05971> and keep <03559> them devoted <03824> to <0413> you. 29:19 Make <05414> my son <01121> Solomon <08010> willing <08003> <03824> to obey <08104> your commands <04687>, rules <05715>, and regulations <02708>, and to complete <06213> building <01129> the palace <01002> for which <0834> I have made preparations <03559>.” 29:20 David <01732> told <0559> the entire <03605> assembly <06951>: “Praise <01288> the Lord <03068> your God <0430>!” So the entire <03605> assembly <06951> praised <01288> the Lord <03068> God <0430> of their ancestors <01>; they bowed down <06915> and stretched out flat on the ground <07812> before the Lord <03068> and the king <04428>. 29:21 The next <04283> day <03117> they made sacrifices <02077> and offered <05927> burnt sacrifices <05930> to the Lord <03068> (1,000 <0505> bulls <06499>, 1,000 <0505> rams <0352>, 1,000 <0505> lambs <03532>), along with their accompanying drink offerings <05262> and many <07230> other sacrifices <02077> for all <03605> Israel <03478>. 29:22 They held <0398> a feast <08354> before <06440> the Lord <03068> that day <03117> and celebrated <01419> <08057>. Then they designated Solomon <08010>, David’s <01732> son <01121>, as king <04427> a second <08145> time; before the Lord <03068> they anointed <04886> him as ruler <05057> and Zadok <06659> as priest <03548>. 29:23 Solomon <08010> sat <03427> on <05921> the Lord’s <03068> throne <03678> as king <04428> in place <08478> of his father <01> David <01732>; he was successful <06743> and all <03605> Israel <03478> was loyal <08085> to <0413> him. 29:24 All <03605> the officers <08269> and warriors <01368>, as well as <01571> all <03605> of King <04428> David’s <01732> sons <01121>, pledged <05414> their allegiance <08478> <03027> to King <04428> Solomon <08010>. 29:25 The Lord <03068> greatly <04605> magnified <01431> Solomon <08010> before <05869> all <03605> Israel <03478> and bestowed <05414> on <05921> him greater <04438> majesty <01935> than any <03605> king <04428> of <05921> Israel <03478> before <06440> him. 29:26 David <01732> son <01121> of Jesse <03448> reigned <04427> over <05921> all <03605> Israel <03478>. 29:27 He reigned <04427> over <05921> Israel <03478> forty <0705> years <08141>; he reigned <04427> in Hebron <02275> seven <07651> years <08141> and in Jerusalem <03389> thirty-three <07969> <07970> years. 29:28 He died <04191> at a good <02896> old age <07872>, having enjoyed <07649> long life <03117>, wealth <06239>, and honor <03519>. His son <01121> Solomon <08010> succeeded <08478> him. 29:29 King <04428> David’s <01732> accomplishments <01697>, from start <07223> to finish <0314>, are recorded <03789> in <05921> the Annals <01697> of Samuel <08050> the prophet <07200>, the Annals <01697> of Nathan <05416> the prophet <05030>, and the Annals <01697> of Gad <01410> the prophet <02374>. 29:30 Recorded there are all <03605> the facts about his reign <04438> and accomplishments <01369>, and an account of the events <06256> that <0834> involved <05674> him, Israel <03478>, and all <03605> the neighboring <0776> kingdoms <04467>.

• [1Ch 29:18] The God Of Abraham Praise

  The God of Abraham praise, who reigns enthroned above; Ancient of everlasting days, and God of Love; Jehovah, great I AM! by earth and Heav’n confessed; I bow and bless the sacred Name forever blessed. The God of Abraham praise, at Whose supreme command From earth I rise—and seek the joys at His right hand; I all on earth forsake, its wisdom, fame, and power; And Him my only Portion make, my Shield and Tower. The God of Abraham praise, whose all sufficient grace Shall guide me all my happy days, in all my ways. He calls a worm His friend, He calls Himself my God! And He shall save me to the end, thro’ Jesus’ blood. He by Himself has sworn; I on His oath depend, I shall, on eagle wings upborne, to Heav’n ascend. I shall behold His face; I shall His power adore, And sing the wonders of His grace forevermore. Tho’ nature’s strength decay, and earth and hell withstand, To Canaan’s bounds I urge my way, at His command. The wat’ry deep I pass, with Jesus in my view; And thro’ the howling wilderness my way pursue. The goodly land I see, with peace and plenty bless’d; A land of sacred liberty, and endless rest. There milk and honey flow, and oil and wine abound, And trees of life forever grow with mercy crowned. There dwells the Lord our King, the Lord our righteousness, Triumphant o’er the world and sin, the Prince of peace; On Sion’s sacred height His kingdom still maintains, And glorious with His saints in light forever reigns. He keeps His own secure, He guards them by His side, Arrays in garments, white and pure, His spotless bride: With streams of sacred bliss, with groves of living joys— With all the fruits of Paradise, He still supplies. Before the great Three-One they all exulting stand; And tell the wonders He hath done, through all their land: The list’ning spheres attend, and swell the growing fame; And sing, in songs which never end, the wondrous Name. The God Who reigns on high the great archangels sing, And “Holy, holy, holy!” cry, “Almighty King! Who was, and is, the same, and evermore shall be: Jehovah—Father—great I AM, we worship Thee!” Before the Savior’s face the ransomed nations bow; O’erwhelmed at His almighty grace, forever new: He shows His prints of love—they kindle to a flame! And sound thro’ all the worlds above the slaughtered Lamb. The whole triumphant host give thanks to God on high; “Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,” they ever cry. Hail, Abraham’s God, and mine! (I join the heav’nly lays,) All might and majesty are Thine, and endless praise.
