29 Then David the king addressed all the assembly. “Solomon, my son, whom alone God has chosen,” he said, “is still young and inexperienced; and the work is great, for the palace is for God the Eternal, not for man. 2 I have prepared with all my might for the temple of my God, gold for the golden objects, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wooden, with jewels of beryl, jewels for setting, jewels for inlaid work, jewels of all colours, with gems of all sorts, and plenty of marble. 3 Furthermore, in my devotion to the temple of my God, as I possess a private treasure of gold and silver, I give it to the temple of my God, over and above what I have prepared for the sacred temple-- 4 namely, two hundred and eighty-eight thousand pounds’ weight of gold from Ophir and six hundred and seventy-two thousand pounds’ weight of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the various buildings 5 and to supply gold for the golden objects and silver for the silver, to be used by the craftsmen for all such purposes. Now who will make a freewill offering to-day in devotion to the Eternal?”
6 Then the heads of the various families and of the clans of Israel, the generals, the commanders, and those in charge of the king’s business, made freewill offerings; 7 they gave to the service of the temple of God in gold four hundred and eighty thousand pounds’ weight, with ten thousand guineas in Persian dariks, in silver nine hundred and sixty thousand pounds’ weight, besides one million seven hundred and twenty-eight thousand pounds of bronze, and nine million six hundred thousand pounds of iron; 8 those in possession of jewels also contributed them to the treasure of the temple of the Eternal, in charge of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 The people rejoiced at this, at this freewill offering, contributed without grudging to the Eternal, and David the king was so overjoye dthat he blessed the Eternal before all the assembly. "Blessed be thou, O Eternal, God of our father Israel he cried, “for ever and for ever. 11 Thine, O Eternal, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the pre-eminence and the majesty, for all in heaven and earth is thine; thine is the dominion, O Eternal, and thine the supreme authority! 12 Riches and honour come from thee, who reignest over all; in thy hand lie power and might, and in thy hand it lies to make all great and strong. 13 Hence, O our God, we ever thank thee and praise thy glorious name. 14 Yet who am I, wThat is my people, that we should be able to offer such freewill offerings? All gifts come from thee, and we only give thee what is thine. 15 For we but come and go before thee upon earth, mere passing waifs, as all our fathers were; our days on earth flit like a shadow, without hope. 16 O thou Eternal, our God, all these stores which we have prepared to build thee a temple for thy sacred majesty, come from thine own hand and are all thine own. 17 My God, who dost test the heart and delightest in honesty (I know), here in all honesty of heart have I offered all these gifts willingly, and watched with joy my people here offering to thee willingly. 18 O thou Eternal, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep the mind and purpose of thy people ever in this spirit; direct their hearts to thyself, 19 and grant that Solomon my son may ungrudgingly obey thine orders, thine injunctions, and thy rules, carrying them all out and building the palace for which I have made provision.”
20 Then David added, to the assembly, “Now bless the Eternal your God.” So the whole assembly blessed the Eternal the God of their fathers, bending their heads and doing homage before God and the king; 21 next day they offered up sacrifices to the Eternal and made burnt-offerings to the Eternal, a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with the usual libations and thank-offerings in abundance for all Israel, 22 eating and drinking before the that day with great gladness.
Then they made Solomon David’s son king a second time, consecrating him to be the prince of the Eternal, with Zadok as priest. 23 So Solomon took his seat on the throne of the Eternal as king, instead of his father David; he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him. 24 All the authorities and warriors and all the other sons of king David submitted to king Solomon. 25 And the Eternal exalted Solomon high in the sight of all Israel, investing him with a royal majesty such as no king before him in Israel had enjoyed.
26 Such was David’s reign over all Israel. 27 He reigned over Israel for forty years, reigning seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. 28 He died in a ripe old age, having had life and riches and honour to the full, and Solomon his son reigned instead of him.
29 As for the deeds of David the king, from first to last, they are described already in the History of Samuel the seer, the History of Nathan the prophet, and the History of Gad the seer, 30 which describe the whole of his reign, his exploits, and the changes that befell both him and Israel and all realms of the other countries.
