RF CH1 29:1 King David also said to all the Meeting; "The ONE GOD has chosen Solomon my son for Himself; but he is a youth and tender, and the business is great,—for the effort is not for Man, but for the LIVING GOD.
RF CH1 29:2 "However, I have prepared with all my power for the House of GOD, Gold, for the Golden; and Silver, for the Silver; and Brass, for the Brazen; Iron, for the Iron; and Timber for the Wooden; Onyx-stones for setting; and variegated Marble; and all kinds of precious stones, and plenty of White-marble.
RF CH1 29:3 "And since I have delighted in the House of my GOD, I have by me a private store of Gold and Silver,—which I give to the House of my GOD, in addition to all I have provided, for the Holy House!
RF CH1 29:4 "Three thousand talents of Gold; of the refined Gold of Aufer; and seven thousand talents of pure refined Silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings.
RF CH1 29:5 "The Gold, for gilding; and the Silver for silvering; and for any wages paid to the workmen.—And whoever has a will for the business, let him hand himself to the EVER-LIVING to-day!"
RF CH1 29:6 A Public Subscription to the Temple.
Then the Ancestral Chiefs, and the Chiefs of the Tribes of Israel; and the Colonels and Captains of Companies, and Chiefs of the Royal Affairs,
RF CH1 29:7 gave to the works for the House of the EVER-LIVING, five thousand talents of Gold, and ten thousand dariks,1 and ten thousand talents of Silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
RF CH1 29:8 While those who possessed jewels gave them to the Treasury of the House of the EVER-LIVING, into the custody of Jakhial the Ghershni.
RF CH1 29:9 So the People were glad, on account of their contributions, for they contributed with a willing heart to the EVER-LIVING, and King David also rejoiced with great delight.
RF CH1 29:10 Then David blessed the EVER-LIVING in the sight of all the Meeting, and David exclaimed;—
STANZA 1.
"Blessed be You, the EVER-LIVING,—
The GOD of our Father Israel,—
From Eternity to Eternity!
RF CH1 29:11 With You LORD, is Greatness, and Power,
And beauty, and splendour, and glory!
RF CH1 29:12 For all the Heavens and the Earth are Yours, LORD
The Government, and Exaltation,
And Headship of all!
RF CH1 29:13 STANZA 2.
"Therefore, our GOD, we all thank You,
And praise Your Majestic Name.
RF CH1 29:14 For who am I, and who are my People,
That we are able freely to give like this?
For all comes from You,—
STANZA 3.
"To You we only give Your own!
RF CH1 29:15 For we are only travelers before You,
And lodgers, as all our fathers were!
Our days are like a shadow on the Earth,
And are without hope!
RF CH1 29:16 STANZA 4.
"LORD our GOD all this wealth that is given.
To build a House to Your Name,
As Your Sanctuary, was from Your hand,
And is all Yours.
RF CH1 29:17 STANZA 5.
"As I know my GOD,
That You refine the heart,
And delight in uprightness,
I, in trueness of heart,
Have given all this;
And now I have seen Your People,
Here give gladly to You,
RF CH1 29:18 LORD, the GOD of our fathers,
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel.
Oh! keep them for ever,
And fix in the People's minds
Their thoughts upon You!
RF CH1 29:19 And give to my son Solomon,
A heart to regard Your Commands,
Your Proofs and Decrees,
To work and build this Temple,
As I have prepared."
RF CH1 29:20 Then David said to all the Assembly;—
Bless now your EVER-LIVING GOD."
And all the Meeting blessed the EVER-LIVING GOD of their fathers, and lowered their heads, and reverenced to the EVER-LIVING, and the King.
RF CH1 29:21 They then afterwards sacrificed sacrifices to the EVER-LIVING; and burned Burnt-offerings to the EVER-LIVING, with Food-offerings on that day; a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their Drink-offerings, with numerous sacrifices from all Israel.
RF CH1 29:22 And ate and drank before the EVER-LIVING, on that day, with great delight.
(1015 B.C.) Solomon's Election confirmed by Parliament.
They also again elected Solomon the son of David, King for the second time, and consecrated him to the EVER-LIVING as LEADER, and Zadok as Priest.
RF CH1 29:23 Solomon, consequently sat on the Throne of the LORD as King, in place of his father David, and the Parliament of Israel obeyed him,
RF CH1 29:24 with all the Nobles, and Generals; and the sons of David placed their hands under Solomon as King.
RF CH1 29:25 The EVER-LIVING afterwards greatly exalted Solomon in the eyes of all Israel, and gave him honour and Majesty, such as had not been upon any King before him in Israel.
RF CH1 29:26 Thus David,-ben-Jessai reigned over all Israel.
RF CH1 29:27 He was King over all Israel for a period of forty years; Reigning in Hebron for seven years, and reigning in Jerusalem thirty-three years.
RF CH1 29:28 Then he died with good grey hairs, and satiated with days, wealth and honour; and Solomon his son reigned after him.
RF CH1 29:29 The achievements of King David from first to last can be seen recorded in the History of Samuel, the Seer, and in the History of Nathan, the Reciter, and in the History of Gad, the Preacher,
RF CH1 29:30 as well as all his Kingship, and Heroism, and Vicissitudes that passed over him, and over Israel, and over all the Kingdoms of the Countries.
—————
NOTE.—Ch. 29.7 The mention of "Dariks," a Persian coin, fixes the date of the writing of the "Chronicles," named in Hebrew "The Events, of Time," as being after the return from the Captivity; and lends a support to my view given in a former Note, that in the values of moneys the historian brought them into scale with the purchasing values of his own day, and does not give them as in the period of David. This fact accounts for the Hebrew editors of the Second Temple putting Chronicles as the last book of the Books in the Bible.—F.F.
