16 "O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy name, it is from Your hand, and all is Yours.
17 "Since I know, O my God, that 1You try the heart and 2delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to You.
18 "O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, preserve this forever in the intentions * of the heart of Your people, and direct their heart to You;
19 and 3give to my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep Your commandments, Your testimonies and Your statutes, and to do them all, and 4to build the temple, for which I have made provision."
20 Then David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the LORD your God." And 5all the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and 6bowed low and did homage to the LORD and to the king.

Sacrifices

21 On the next day 7they made sacrifices to the LORD and offered burnt offerings to the LORD, 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams and 1,000 lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
So they ate and drank that day before the LORD with great gladness.

Solomon Again Made King

22 And they made Solomon the son of David king 8a second time, and they 9anointed him as ruler for the LORD and Zadok as priest.
23 Then 10Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father; and he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
24 All the officials, the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David pledged allegiance * to King Solomon.
25 11The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and 12bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26 Now 13David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 29

This chapter relates how largely and liberally David, besides what he had before done, and his princes, offered towards defraying the expenses of building the temple, 1Ch 29:1-8 and the joy and thankfulness that he and his people expressed on that account, attended with prayers for Solomon, and offering sacrifices unto the Lord, 1Ch 29:9-21 and the chapter is closed, and so the book, with an account of the second unction of Solomon, the placing him on the throne, and the submission of all ranks of men unto him, and of the death of David, 1Ch 29:22-30.
