1 Chronicles 29:10-25

[10] Wherefore David  blessed  the LORD  before  all the congregation:  and David  said,  Blessed  be thou, LORD  God  of Israel  our father,  for  ever  [11] is the greatness,  and the power,  and the glory,  and the victory,  and the majesty:  for all that is in the heaven  and in the earth  is thine; thine is the kingdom,  as head  above all. [12] Both riches  and honour  come of thee,  and thou reignest  over all; and in thine hand  is power  and might;  and in thine hand  it is to make great,  and to give strength  [13] Now therefore, our God,  we thank  thee, and praise  thy glorious  name.  [14] 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. [15] 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.  [16] 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. [17] 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. [18] 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  [19] And give  unto Solomon  my son  a perfect  heart,  to keep  thy commandments,  thy testimonies,  and to do  all these things, and to build  the palace,  for the which I have made provision.  [20] 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.  [21] 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:  [22] 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.  [23] Then Solomon  sat on  the throne  of the LORD  as king  instead of David  his father,  and prospered;  and all Israel  obeyed  [24] And all the princes,  and the mighty men,  and all the sons  likewise of king  David,  submitted themselves  unto Solomon  the king.  [25] 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.
