1 Chronicles 28:1--29:25

28:1

And David
<01732>

assembled
<06950> (8686)

all the princes
<08269>

of Israel
<03478>_,

the princes
<08269>

of the tribes
<07626>_,

and the captains
<08269>

of the companies
<04256>

that ministered
<08334> (8764)

to the king
<04428>

by course
<04256>_,

and the captains
<08269>

over the thousands
<0505>_,

and captains
<08269>

over the hundreds
<03967>_,

and the stewards
<08269>

over all the substance
<07399>

and possession
<04735>

of the king
<04428>_,

and of his sons
<01121>_,

with the officers
<05631>_,

and with the mighty men
<01368>_,

and with all the valiant men
<02428>_,

unto Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{possession: or, cattle} {and of...: or, and his sons} {officers: or, eunuchs}

28:2

Then David
<01732>

the king
<04428>

stood up
<06965> (8799)

upon his feet
<07272>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

me, my brethren
<0251>_,

and my people
<05971>_:

[As for me], I [had] in mine heart
<03824>

to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

of rest
<04496>

for the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and for the footstool
<01916> <07272>

of our God
<0430>_,

and had made ready
<03559> (8689)

for the building
<01129> (8800)_:

28:3

But God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto me, Thou shalt not build
<01129> (8799)

an house
<01004>

for my name
<08034>_,

because thou [hast been] a man
<0376>

of war
<04421>_,

and hast shed
<08210> (8804)

blood
<01818>_.

{blood: Heb. bloods}

28:4

Howbeit the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

chose
<0977> (8799)

me before all the house
<01004>

of my father
<01>

to be king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>

for ever
<05769>_:

for he hath chosen
<0977> (8804)

Judah
<03063>

[to be] the ruler
<05057>_;

and of the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_,

the house
<01004>

of my father
<01>_;

and among the sons
<01121>

of my father
<01>

he liked
<07521> (8804)

me to make [me] king
<04427> (8687)

over all Israel
<03478>_:

28:5

And of all my sons
<01121>_,

(for the LORD
<03068>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

me many
<07227>

sons
<01121>,)

he hath chosen
<0977> (8799)

Solomon
<08010>

my son
<01121>

to sit
<03427> (8800)

upon the throne
<03678>

of the kingdom
<04438>

of the LORD
<03068>

over Israel
<03478>_.

28:6

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Solomon
<08010>

thy son
<01121>_,

he shall build
<01129> (8799)

my house
<01004>

and my courts
<02691>_:

for I have chosen
<0977> (8804)

him [to be] my son
<01121>_,

and I will be his father
<01>_.

28:7

Moreover I will establish
<03559> (8689)

his kingdom
<04438>

for ever
<05769>_,

if he be constant
<02388> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

my commandments
<04687>

and my judgments
<04941>_,

as at this day
<03117>_.

{constant: Heb. strong}

28:8

Now therefore in the sight
<05869>

of all Israel
<03478>

the congregation
<06951>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in the audience
<0241>

of our God
<0430>_,

keep
<08104> (8798)

and seek
<01875> (8798)

for all the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_:

that ye may possess
<03423> (8799)

this good
<02896>

land
<0776>_,

and leave [it] for an inheritance
<05157> (8689)

for your children
<01121>

after
<0310>

you for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

28:9

And thou, Solomon
<08010>

my son
<01121>_,

know
<03045> (8798)

thou the God
<0430>

of thy father
<01>_,

and serve
<05647> (8798)

him with a perfect
<08003>

heart
<03820>

and with a willing
<02655>

mind
<05315>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

searcheth
<01875> (8802)

all hearts
<03824>_,

and understandeth
<0995> (8688)

all the imaginations
<03336>

of the thoughts
<04284>_:

if thou seek
<01875> (8799)

him, he will be found
<04672> (8735)

of thee; but if thou forsake
<05800> (8799)

him, he will cast thee off
<02186> (8686)

for ever
<05703>_.

28:10

Take heed
<07200> (8798)

now; for the LORD
<03068>

hath chosen
<0977> (8804)

thee to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

for the sanctuary
<04720>_:

be strong
<02388> (8798)_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

[it].

28:11

Then David
<01732>

gave
<05414> (8799)

to Solomon
<08010>

his son
<01121>

the pattern
<08403>

of the porch
<0197>_,

and of the houses
<01004>

thereof, and of the treasuries
<01597>

thereof, and of the upper chambers
<05944>

thereof, and of the inner
<06442>

parlours
<02315>

thereof, and of the place
<01004>

of the mercy seat
<03727>_,

28:12

And the pattern
<08403>

of all that he had by the spirit
<07307>_,

of the courts
<02691>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and of all the chambers
<03957>

round about
<05439>_,

of the treasuries
<0214>

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

and of the treasuries
<0214>

of the dedicated things
<06944>_:

{of all that...: Heb. of all that was with him}

28:13

Also for the courses
<04256>

of the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>_,

and for all the work
<04399>

of the service
<05656>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and for all the vessels
<03627>

of service
<05656>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

28:14

[He gave] of gold
<02091>

by weight
<04948>

for [things] of gold
<02091>_,

for all instruments
<03627>

of all manner of service
<05656>_;

[silver also] for all instruments
<03627>

of silver
<03701>

by weight
<04948>_,

for all instruments
<03627>

of every kind of service
<05656>_:

28:15

Even the weight
<04948>

for the candlesticks
<04501>

of gold
<02091>_,

and for their lamps
<05216>

of gold
<02091>_,

by weight
<04948>

for every candlestick
<04501>_,

and for the lamps
<05216>

thereof: and for the candlesticks
<04501>

of silver
<03701>

by weight
<04948>_,

[both] for the candlestick
<04501>_,

and [also] for the lamps
<05216>

thereof, according to the use
<05656>

of every candlestick
<04501>_.

28:16

And by weight
<04948>

[he gave] gold
<02091>

for the tables
<07979>

of shewbread
<04635>_,

for every table

Also pure

<03713>

[he gave gold] by weight
<04948>

<03713>_;

and [likewise silver] by weight
<04948>

and gold
<02091>

for the pattern
<08403>

of the chariot
<04818>

of the cherubims
<03742>_,

that spread out
<06566> (8802)

[their wings], and covered
<05526> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

28:19

All [this, said David], the LORD
<03068>

made me understand
<07919> (8689)

in writing
<03791>

by [his] hand
<03027>

upon me, [even] all the works
<04399>

of this pattern
<08403>_.

28:20

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Solomon
<08010>

his son
<01121>_,

Be strong
<02388> (8798)

and of good courage
<0553> (8798)_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

[it]: fear
<03372> (8799)

not, nor be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_,

[even] my God
<0430>_,

[will be] with thee; he will not fail
<07503> (8686)

thee, nor forsake
<05800> (8799)

thee, until thou hast finished
<03615> (8800)

all the work
<04399>

for the service
<05656>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

28:21

And, behold, the courses
<04256>

of the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>_,

[even they shall be with thee] for all the service
<05656>

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_:

and [there shall be] with thee for all manner of workmanship
<04399>

every willing
<05081>

skilful man
<02451>_,

for any manner of service
<05656>_:

also the princes
<08269>

and all the people
<05971>

[will be] wholly at thy commandment
<01697>_.

29:1

Furthermore David
<01732>

the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all the congregation
<06951>_,

Solomon
<08010>

my son
<01121>_,

whom alone
<0259>

God
<0430>

hath chosen
<0977> (8804)_,

[is yet] young
<05288>

and tender
<07390>_,

and the work
<04399>

[is] great
<01419>_:

for the palace
<01002>

[is] not for man
<0120>_,

but for the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_.

29:2

Now I have prepared
<03559> (8689)

with all my might
<03581>

for the house
<01004>

of my God
<0430>

the gold
<02091>

for [things to be made] of gold
<02091>_,

and the silver
<03701>

for [things] of silver
<03701>_,

and the brass
<05178>

for [things] of brass
<05178>_,

the iron
<01270>

for [things] of iron
<01270>_,

and wood
<06086>

for [things] of wood
<06086>_;

onyx
<07718>

stones
<068>_,

and [stones] to be set
<04394>_,

glistering
<06320>

stones
<068>_,

and of divers colours
<07553>_,

and all manner of precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_,

and marble
<07893>

stones
<068>

in abundance
<07230>_.

29:3

Moreover, because I have set my affection
<07521> (8800)

to the house
<01004>

of my God
<0430>_,

I have
<03426>

of mine own proper good
<05459>_,

of gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>_,

[which] I have given
<05414> (8804)

to the house
<01004>

of my God
<0430>_,

over and above
<04605>

all that I have prepared
<03559> (8689)

for the holy
<06944>

house
<01004>_,

29:4

[Even] three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

of the gold
<02091>

of Ophir
<0211>_,

and seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of refined
<02212> (8794)

silver
<03701>_,

to overlay
<02902> (8800)

the walls
<07023>

of the houses
<01004>

[withal]:

29:5

The gold
<02091>

for [things] of gold
<02091>_,

and the silver
<03701>

for [things] of silver
<03701>_,

and for all manner of work
<04399>

[to be made] by the hands
<03027>

of artificers
<02796>_.

And who [then] is willing
<05068> (8693)

to consecrate
<04390> (8763)

his service
<03027>

this day
<03117>

unto the LORD
<03068>_?

{consecrate his service: Heb. fill his hand}

29:6

Then the chief
<08269>

of the fathers
<01>

and princes
<08269>

of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and the captains
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>

and of hundreds
<03967>_,

with the rulers
<08269>

of the king's
<04428>

work
<04399>_,

offered willingly
<05068> (8691)_,

29:7

And gave
<05414> (8799)

for the service
<05656>

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>

of gold
<02091>

five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

and ten thousand
<07239>

drams
<0150>_,

and of silver
<03701>

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>_,

and of brass
<05178>

eighteen
<08083> <07239>

thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>_,

and one hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of iron
<01270>_.

29:8

And they with whom [precious] stones
<068>

were found
<04672> (8737)

gave
<05414> (8804)

[them] to the treasure
<0214>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

by the hand
<03027>

of Jehiel
<03171>

the Gershonite
<01649>_.

29:9

Then the people
<05971>

rejoiced
<08055> (8799)_,

for that they offered willingly
<05068> (8692)_,

because with perfect
<08003>

heart
<03820>

they offered willingly
<05068> (8694)

to the LORD
<03068>_:

and David
<01732>

the king
<04428>

also rejoiced
<08055> (8804)

with great
<01419>

joy
<08057>_.

29:10

Wherefore David
<01732>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>

before
<05869>

all the congregation
<06951>_:

and David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] thou, LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

our father
<01>_,

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>

and ever
<05769>_.

29:11

Thine, O LORD
<03068>_,

[is] the greatness
<01420>_,

and the power
<01369>_,

and the glory
<08597>_,

and the victory
<05331>_,

and the majesty
<01935>_:

for all [that is] in the heaven
<08064>

and in the earth
<0776>

[is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom
<04467>_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

and thou art exalted
<04984> (8693)

as head
<07218>

above all.

29:12

Both riches
<06239>

and honour
<03519>

[come] of thee
<06440>_,

and thou reignest
<04910> (8802)

over all; and in thine hand
<03027>

[is] power
<03581>

and might
<01369>_;

and in thine hand
<03027>

[it is] to make great
<01431> (8763)_,

and to give strength
<02388> (8763)

unto all.

29:13

Now therefore, our God
<0430>_,

we thank
<03034> (8688)

thee, and praise
<01984> (8764)

thy glorious
<08597>

name
<08034>_.

29:14

But who [am] I, and what [is] my people
<05971>_,

that we should be
<06113> (8799)

able
<03581>

to offer so willingly
<05068> (8692)

after this sort? for all things [come] of thee, and of thine own
<03027>

have we given
<05414> (8804)

thee. {be able: Heb. retain, or, obtain strength} {of thine...: Heb. of thine hand}

29:15

For we [are] strangers
<01616>

before
<06440>

thee, and sojourners
<08453>_,

as [were] all our fathers
<01>_:

our days
<03117>

on the earth
<0776>

[are] as a shadow
<06738>_,

and [there is] none abiding
<04723>_.

{abiding: Heb. expectation}

29:16

O LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

all this store
<01995>

that we have prepared
<03559> (8689)

to build
<01129> (8800)

thee an house
<01004>

for thine holy
<06944>

name
<08034>

[cometh] of thine hand
<03027>_,

and [is] all thine own.

29:17

I know
<03045> (8804)

also, my God
<0430>_,

that thou triest
<0974> (8802)

the heart
<03824>_,

and hast pleasure
<07521> (8799)

in uprightness
<03476>_.

As for me, in the uprightness
<04339>

of mine heart
<03824>

I have willingly offered
<05068> (8694)

all these things: and now have I seen
<07200> (8804)

with joy
<08057>

thy people
<05971>_,

which are present
<04672> (8738)

here, to offer willingly
<05068> (8692)

unto thee. {present: Heb. found}

29:18

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

Isaac
<03327>_,

and of Israel
<03478>_,

our fathers
<01>_,

keep
<08104> (8798)

this for ever
<05769>

in the imagination
<03336>

of the thoughts
<04284>

of the heart
<03824>

of thy people
<05971>_,

and prepare
<03559> (8685)

their heart
<03824>

unto thee: {prepare: or, stablish}

29:19

And give
<05414> (8798)

unto Solomon
<08010>

my son
<01121>

a perfect
<08003>

heart
<03824>_,

to keep
<08104> (8800)

thy commandments
<04687>_,

thy testimonies
<05715>_,

and thy statutes
<02706>_,

and to do
<06213> (8800)

all [these things], and to build
<01129> (8800)

the palace
<01002>_,

[for] the which I have made provision
<03559> (8689)_.

29:20

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to all the congregation
<06951>_,

Now bless
<01288> (8761)

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

And all the congregation
<06951>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_,

and bowed down their heads
<06915> (8799)_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and the king
<04428>_.

29:21

And they sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

sacrifices
<02077>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and offered
<05927> (8686)

burnt offerings
<05930>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

on the morrow
<04283>

after that day
<03117>_,

[even] a thousand
<0505>

bullocks
<06499>_,

a thousand
<0505>

rams
<0352>_,

[and] a thousand
<0505>

lambs
<03532>_,

with their drink offerings
<05262>_,

and sacrifices
<02077>

in abundance
<07230>

for all Israel
<03478>_:

29:22

And did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

on that day
<03117>

with great
<01419>

gladness
<08057>_.

And they made Solomon
<08010>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>

king
<04427> (8686)

the second time
<08145>_,

and anointed
<04886> (8799)

[him] unto the LORD
<03068>

[to be] the chief governor
<05057>_,

and Zadok
<06659>

[to be] priest
<03548>_.

29:23

Then Solomon
<08010>

sat on
<03427> (8799)

the throne
<03678>

of the LORD
<03068>

as king
<04428>

instead of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_,

and prospered
<06743> (8686)_;

and all Israel
<03478>

obeyed
<08085> (8799)

him.

29:24

And all the princes
<08269>_,

and the mighty men
<01368>_,

and all the sons
<01121>

likewise of king
<04428>

David
<01732>_,

submitted themselves
<05414> (8804) <03027> <08478>

unto Solomon
<08010>

the king
<04428>_.

{submitted...: Heb. gave the hand under Solomon}

29:25

And the LORD
<03068>

magnified
<01431> (8762)

Solomon
<08010>

exceedingly
<04605>

in the sight
<05869>

of all Israel
<03478>_,

and bestowed
<05414> (8799)

upon him [such] royal
<04438>

majesty
<01935>

as had not been on any king
<04428>

before
<06440>

him in Israel
<03478>_.
