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

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

The
gold for things of

Then the
people rejoiced, for that they offered
willingly, because with
perfect heart they offered
willingly to the
LORD: and
David the
king also
rejoiced with
great joy.
