The willing offering
King David said to the whole assembly: My son Solomon, the one God has chosen, is still young and inexperienced, and this is a massive job. The palace isn't for a man; it's for the Lord God. With all my strength I've prepared for the house of my God: gold for the gold work, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, wood for the wood, along with onyx, setting stones, glistening and coloured stones, every kind of precious stone, and marble in abundance. More than that, because I've set my heart on the house of my God, I'm giving my own gold and silver on top of everything I've already prepared for the holy house. Three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to cover the walls of the houses, There is gold for the gold work, silver for the silver work, and materials for every job the craftsmen will do. So who is willing today to dedicate himself to the Lord? Then the heads of the fathers and leaders of the tribes of Israel and the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly. They gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents of gold and ten thousand drams, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze and a hundred thousand talents of iron. Those who had precious stones gave them to the treasure of the temple of the Lord, through Jehiel the Gershonite. The people rejoiced because they had given willingly and wholeheartedly to the Lord. King David also rejoiced greatly.
And David the king said to all the gathering: Solomon my son, the only one God has chosen, is young and tender, and the work is great. Because the palace isn't for man but for the Lord God. Now I've got ready with all my might for the house of my God — the gold for things of gold and the silver for things of silver and the bronze for things of bronze, the iron for things of iron and wood for things of wood, onyx stones and stones to be set, glistening stones and of different colours, and all kinds of precious stones and marble stones in plenty. What's more, because I've set my love on the house of my God, I've got my own gold and silver, that I've given to the house of my God, over and above everything I've got ready for the holy house — three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to cover the walls of the houses, gold for things of gold and silver for things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be made by the hands of craftsmen.

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.

David's blessing
David blessed the Lord before the whole assembly: Blessed are you, Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, Lord, are greatness, power, glory, victory and majesty. Everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Lord, and you are exalted as head over all. Riches and honour come from you, and you reign over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and it is in your hand to make great and to give strength to all. So now, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name. But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give so willingly? Everything comes from you, and we've only given back what came from your own hand. We are strangers before you and travellers, just as all our ancestors were. Our days on earth are like a shadow, with no lasting stay. Lord our God, all this store we've prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and it's all yours. I know, my God, that you test the heart and delight in uprightness. I've willingly offered all these things from an upright heart, and now I've seen with joy your people here offering willingly to you. Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our ancestors, keep this purpose forever in the thoughts of your people's hearts, and direct their hearts towards you. Give Solomon my son a whole heart to keep your commands, instructions and rules, to do all these things, and to build the palace I've prepared for. David said to the whole assembly: Now bless the Lord your God. The whole assembly blessed the Lord God of their ancestors, bowed their heads and worshipped the Lord and the king.
So David blessed the Lord in front of all the gathering. And David said: Blessed be you, Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty. Because everything in heaven and on earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Lord, and you're lifted up as head above all. Both riches and honour come from you, and you rule over everything. And in your hand is power and might. And it's in your hand to make great and to give strength to everyone. So now, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name. But who am I, and what are my people, that we should be able to offer this willingly? Because everything comes from you, and we've given you what's your own. Because we're strangers in front of you and travellers, the way all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there's no staying. Lord our God, all this store we've got ready to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and it's all yours. I know too, my God, that you test the heart and take pleasure in what's straight. As for me, in the straightness of my heart I've willingly offered all these things.

Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and of Israel our fathers, keep this forever in the thinking of the heart of your people, and get their heart ready towards you.

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.

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, 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.

Solomon made king; David dies
They sacrificed sacrifices to the Lord and offered burnt offerings to the Lord the next day after that day — a thousand bulls, a thousand rams and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. They ate and drank before the Lord that day with great joy. Then they made Solomon son of David king a second time, anointing him before the Lord as chief governor, and Zadok as priest. Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king in place of David his father, and he prospered. All Israel obeyed him. All the leaders and the mighty warriors, and all the sons of King David too, submitted themselves to Solomon the king. The Lord made Solomon highly respected throughout Israel and gave him greater royal majesty than any king before him in Israel. David son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. The time he reigned over Israel was forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. David died at a good old age, full of days, riches and honour, and Solomon his son reigned in his place. Now the acts of David the king, first and last, they're 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 rule and his might, and the times that went over him and over Israel and over all the kingdoms of the countries.

Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and did well. And all Israel listened to him. And all the leaders and the mighty men, and all the sons of King David too, gave their hand under Solomon the king. And the Lord made Solomon very great in the sight of all Israel, and gave him such royal majesty as hadn't been on any king before him in Israel. So David son of Jesse ruled over all Israel. And the time he ruled over Israel was forty years. He ruled seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. And he died at a good old age, full of days, riches and honour. And Solomon his son ruled in his place. Now the acts of David the king, first and last, look — they're 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 rule and his might, and the times that went over him and over Israel and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
