ThomsonTHEN king David said to all the congregation, My son Solomon whom the Lord hath chosen, is young and tender, and the work is great; for it is not for man but for the Lord God.

BrentonAnd David the king said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom the Lord has chosen, is young and tender, and the work is great; for it is not for man, but for the Lord God.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ ὁ βασιλεὺς πάσῃ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ, Σαλωμὼν ὁ υἱός μου, εἰς ὃν ᾑρέτικεν ἐν αὐτῷ Κύριος, νέος καὶ ἁπαλὸς, καὶ τὸ ἔργον μέγα, ὅτι οὐκ ἀνθρώπῳ, ἀλλʼ ἢ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ.

ThomsonAccording to my utmost ability I have provided for the house of my God, gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, stones of Soam, and stones to be set, precious and variegated, every kind of precious stones, and Parian marble in abundance.

BrentonI have prepared according to all my might for the house of my God gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, onyx stones, and costly and variegated stones for setting, and every precious stone, and much Parian marble.

GreekΚατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν ἡτοίμακα εἰς οἶκον Θεοῦ μου χρυσὶον, ἀργύριον, χαλκόν, σίδηρον, ξύλα, λίθους σοὰμ, καὶ πληρώσεως λίθους πολυτελεῖς καὶ ποικίλους, καὶ πάντα λίθον τίμιον, καὶ Πάριον πολύν.

ThomsonMoreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, the gold and silver which I kept for myself, behold this I have given for the house of my God, over and above what I provided for the house of the Holies;

BrentonAnd still farther, because I took pleasure in the house of my God, I have gold and silver which I have procured for myself, and, behold, I have given them to the house of my God over and above, beyond what I have prepared for the holy house.

GreekΚαὶ ἔτι ἐν τῷ εὐδοκῆσαί με ἐν οἴκῳ Θεοῦ μου, ἔστι μοι ὃ περιπεποίημαι χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον, καὶ ἰδοὺ δέδωκα εἰς οἶκον Θεοῦ μου εἰς ὕψος, ἐκτὸς ὧν ἡτοίμακα εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῶν ἁγίων,

Thomsonthree thousand talents of the gold of Souphir, and seven thousand talents of pure silver, for overlaying therewith the walls of the sanctuary,

BrentonThree thousand talents of gold of Suphir, and seven thousand talents of fine silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the sanctuary:

Greekτρισχίλια τάλαντα χρυσίου τοῦ ἐκ Σουφὶρ, καὶ ἑπτακισχίλια τάλαντα ἀργυρίου δοκίμου, ἐξαλειφῆναι ἐν αὐτοῖς τοὺς τοίχους τοῦ ἱεροῦ,

Thomsonthe gold for that to be done with gold, and the silver for that to be done with silver, and for every work to be made by the hand of artists. Now let everyone who is so inclined fill his hands this day for the Lord.

Brentonfor thee to use the gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for every work by the hand of the artificers. And who is willing to dedicate himself in work this day for the Lord?

Greekεἰς τὸ χρυσίον τῷ χρυσίῳ, καὶ εἰς τὸ ἀργύριον τῷ ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ εἰς πᾶν ἔργον διὰ χειρὸς τῶν τεχνιτῶν· καὶ τίς ὁ προθυμούμενος πληρῶσαι τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ σήμερον Κυρίῳ;

ThomsonThereupon the chiefs of families, and the chiefs of the sons of Israel, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the overseers of the king’s works and his builders, were liberally disposed,

BrentonThen the heads of families, and the princes of the children of Israel, and the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and the overseers of the works, and the king's builders, offered willingly.

GreekΚαὶ προεθυμήθησαν ἄρχοντες πατριῶν, καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οἱ χιλίαρχοι καὶ οἱ ἑκατόνταρχοι, καὶ οἱ προστάται τῶν ἔργων, καὶ οἱ οἰκοδόμοι τοῦ βασιλέως.

Thomsonand gave for the works of the house of the Lord five thousand talents and ten thousand pieces of gold, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.

BrentonAnd they gave for the works of the house of the Lord five thousand talents of gold, and ten thousand gold pieces, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.

GreekΚαὶ ἔδωκαν εἰς τὰ ἔργα τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου χρυσίου τάλαντα πεντακισχίλια, καὶ χρυσοῦς μυρίους, καὶ ἀργυρίου ταλάντων δέκα χιλιάδας, καὶ χαλκοῦ τάλαντα μύρια ὀκτακισχίλια, καὶ σιδήρου ταλάντων χιλιάδας ἑκατόν.

ThomsonAnd they who had precious stones gave them for the treasures of the house of the Lord which were under the care of Jeiel the Gersonite.

BrentonAnd they who had precious stone, gave it into the treasuries of the house of the Lord by the hand of Jeiel the Gedsonite.

GreekΚαὶ οἷς εὑρέθη παρʼ αὐτοῖς λίθος, ἔδωκαν εἰς τὰς ἀποθήκας οἴκου Κυρίου διὰ χειρὸς Ἰεϊὴλ τοῦ Γεδσωνί.

ThomsonAnd the people were rejoiced at this readiness, for with a perfect heart they gave liberally to the Lord.

BrentonAnd the people rejoiced because of the willingness, for they offered willingly to the Lord with a full heart: and king David rejoiced greatly.

GreekΚαὶ εὐφράνθη ὁ λαὸς ὑπὲρ τοῦ προθυμηθῆναι, ὅτι ἐν καρδίᾳ πλήρει προεθυμήθησαν τῷ Κυρίῳ· καὶ Δαυὶδ ὁ βασιλεὺς εὐφράνθη μεγάλως.

ThomsonAnd David the king was exceedingly rejoiced, and blessed the Lord in the presence of the assembly, saying: Blessed art Thou O Lord God of Israel, our Father, from everlasting to everlasting.

BrentonAnd king David blessed the Lord before the congregation, saying, Blessed art thou, O Lord God of Israel, our Father, from everlasting and to everlasting.

GreekΚαὶ εὐλόγησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τὸν Κύριον ἐνώπιον τῆς ἐκκλησίας, λέγων,

ThomsonTo Thee, O Lord, be ascribed greatness, and power, and exultation, and victory, and majesty; for Thou hast dominion over all things in heaven and on earth. At Thy presence every king and nation is struck with awe. From Thee come riches and glory. Thou, O Lord, rulest over all.

BrentonThine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the might: for thou art Lord of all things that are in heaven and upon the earth: before thy face every king and nation is troubled.

GreekΕὐλογητὸς εἶ Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν, ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος. Σοὶ Κύριε ἡ μεγαλωσύνη, καὶ ἡ δύναμις, καὶ τὸ καύχημα, καὶ ἡ νίκη, καὶ ἡ ἰσχὺς, ὅτι σὺ πάντων τῶν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς δεσπόζεις· ἀπὸ προσώπου σου ταράσσεται πᾶς βασιλεὺς, καὶ ἔθνος.

ThomsonThou art the head of all dominion, and in Thy hand is majesty and power. And by Thy hand, O Almighty Sovereign, all things are made great and strong.

BrentonFrom thee come wealth and glory: thou, O Lord, rulest over all, the Lord of all dominion, and in thy hand is strength and rule; and thou art almighty with thy hand to increase and establish all things.

GreekΠαρὰ σοῦ ὁ πλοῦτος καὶ ἡ δόξα, σὺ πάντων ἄρχεις Κύριε, ὁ ἄρχων πάσης ἀρχῆς, καὶ ἐν χειρί σου ἰσχὺς καὶ δυναστεία, καὶ ἐν χειρί σου παντοκράτωρ μεγαλῦναι καὶ κατισχύσαι τὰ πάντα.

ThomsonNow therefore, O Lord, to Thee we render thanks; and we praise Thy glorious name.

BrentonAnd now, Lord, we give thanks to thee, and praise thy glorious name.

GreekΚαὶ νῦν, Κύριε ἐξομολογούμεθά σοι, καὶ αἰνοῦμεν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς καυχήσεώς σου.

ThomsonBut who am I, and what is my people, that we should be enabled to shew such liberality to Thee? For all things are Thine and of Thine own we have given [back to] Thee.

BrentonBut who am I, and what is my people, that we have been able to be thus forward in offering to thee? for all things are thine, and of thine own have we given thee,

GreekΚαὶ τίς εἰμι ἐγὼ, καὶ τίς ὁ λαός μου ὅτι ἰσχύσαμεν προθυμηθῆναί σοι κατὰ ταῦτα; ὅτι σὰ τὰ πάντα, καὶ ἐκ τῶν σῶν δεδώκαμέν σοι.

ThomsonFor we before Thee are strangers and sojourners as all our fathers were. Our days on earth are like a shadow and there is no fixed abiding.

Brentonfor we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days upon the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

GreekὍτι πάροικοι ἐσμὲν ἐναντίον σου, καὶ παροικοῦντες ὡς πάντες οἱ πατέρες ἡμων· ὡς σκιὰ αἱ ἡμέραι ἡμῶν ἐπὶ γῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑπομονή.

ThomsonO Lord our God, all this store which I have provided for building a house to Thy holy name is from Thy bounty, and belongeth all to Thee.

BrentonO Lord our God, as for all this abundance which I have prepared that a house should be built to thy holy name, it is of thy hand, and all is thine.

GreekΚύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, πρὸς πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος τοῦτο ὃ ἡτοίμακα οἰκοδομηθῆναι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἁγίῳ σου, ἐκ χειρός σου ἐστὶ, καὶ σοὶ τὰ πάντα.

ThomsonAs I know, O Lord, that Thou triest hearts and lovest righteousness, I have with singleness of heart freely offered all these things, and have now seen with joy all Thy people who are here present freely offering to Thee.

BrentonAnd I know, Lord, that thou art he that searches the hearts, and thou lovest righteousness. I have willingly offered all these things in simplicity of heart; and now I have seen with joy thy people here present, willingly offering to thee.

GreekΚαὶ ἔγνων, Κύριε, ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐτάζων καρδίας, καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἀγαπᾷς· ἐν ἁπλότητι καρδίας προεθυμήθην ταῦτα πάντα, καὶ νῦν τὸν λαόν σου τὸν εὑρεθέντα ὧδε εἶδον ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ προθυμηθέντα σοι.

ThomsonO Lord, the God of Abraham and Isaak and Israel our fathers, keep these things forever in the thoughts of the hearts of Thy people and direct their hearts to Thee,

BrentonO Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, preserve these things in the thought of the heart of thy people for ever, and direct their hearts to thee.

GreekΚύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἁβραὰμ, καὶ Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ, τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, φύλαξον ταῦτα ἐν διανοίᾳ καρδίας λαοῦ σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ κατεύθυνον τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν πρὸς σέ.

Thomsonand give to my son Solomon a good heart to execute all Thy commandments, and Thy testimonies, and Thy statutes, and that he may finish completely the structure of Thy house.

BrentonAnd to Solomon my son give a good heart, to perform thy commandments, and to observe thy testimonies, and thine ordinances, and to accomplish the building of thy house.

GreekΚαὶ Σαλωμὼν τῷ υἱῷ μου δὸς καρδίαν ἀγαθὴν ποιεῖν τὰς ἐντολάς σου, καὶ τὰ μαρτύριά σου, καὶ τὰ προστάγματά σου, καὶ τοῦ ἐπὶ τέλος ἀγαγεῖν τὴν κατασκευὴν τοῦ οἴκου σου.

ThomsonThen David said to all the congregation, Bless ye the Lord our God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord the God of their fathers, and with bended knees made a reverence to the Lord and to the king.

BrentonAnd David said to the whole congregation, Bless ye the Lord our God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and they bowed the knee and worshipped the Lord, and did obeisance to the king.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πάσῃ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ, εὐλογήσατε Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν· καὶ εὐλόγησε πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν· καὶ κάμψαντες τὰ γόνατα προσεκύνησαν Κυρίῳ, καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ.

ThomsonAnd on the morrow of the first day, when David had offered up whole burnt offerings to God, he sacrificed as thanks offerings to the Lord a thousand young bulls, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs with their libations, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

BrentonAnd David sacrificed to the Lord, and offered up whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord on the morrow after the first day, a thousand calves, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, and their drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

GreekΚαὶ ἔθυσε Δαυὶδ τῷ Κυρίῳ θυσίας, καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ Θεῷ τῇ ἐπαύριον τῆς πρώτης ἡμέρας μόσχους χιλίους, κριοὺς χιλίους, ἄρνας χιλίους, καὶ τὰς σπονδὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ θυσίας εἰς πλῆθος παντὶ τῷ Ἰσραήλ.

ThomsonAnd having eaten and drunk that day with gladness before the Lord, they proclaimed Solomon son of David king a second time, and anointed him to be king for the Lord, and Sadok to be priest.

BrentonAnd they ate and drank joyfully that day before the Lord: and they made Solomon the son of David king a second time, and anointed him king before the Lord, and Sadoc to the priesthood.

GreekΚαὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ μετὰ χαρᾶς· καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν ἐκ δευτέρου τὸν Σαλωμὼν υἱὸν Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἔχρισαν αὐτὸν τῷ Κυρίῳ εἰς βασιλέα, καὶ Σαδὼκ εἰς ἱερωσύνην.

ThomsonSo Solomon sat on the throne of his father David and prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.

BrentonAnd Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and was highly honoured; and all Israel obeyed him.

GreekΚαὶ ἐκάθισε Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐδοκήθη, καὶ ὑπήκουσαν αὐτοῦ πᾶς Ἰσραήλ.

ThomsonThe chiefs, and the men in authority, and all the sons of king David his father were subject to him,

BrentonThe princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons of king David his father, were subject to him.

GreekΟἱ ἄρχοντες, καὶ οἱ δυνάσται, καὶ πάντες υἱοὶ Δαυὶδ τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ὑπετάγησαν αὐτῷ.

Thomsonand the Lord magnified Solomon over all Israel, and gave him royal glory, such as no king had before him.

BrentonAnd the Lord magnified Solomon over all Israel, and gave him royal glory, such as was not upon any king before him.

GreekΚαὶ ἐμεγάλυνε Κύριος τὸν Σαλωμὼν ἐπάνωθεν παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ δόξαν βασιλέως, ὃ οὐκ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ παντὸς βασιλέως ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.

ThomsonNow the rest of the acts of David, the first and the last, are written among the words of Samuel the seer, and in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Gad the seer,
