Bible. Chronicles, 1st
13:029:014 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to
offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of
thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
13:029:015 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.
13:029:016 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.
13:029:017 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.
13:029:018 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:
13:029:019 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.
13:029:020 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.
13:029:021 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered
burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day,
even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand
lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance
for all Israel:
13:029:022 And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great
gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the
second time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief
governor, and Zadok to be priest.
13:029:023 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of
David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
13:029:024 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons
likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the
king.
13:029:025 And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all
Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not
been on any king before him in Israel.
13:029:026 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
13:029:027 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years;
seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years
reigned he in Jerusalem.
