1Ch 29:5

1Ch 29:5of gold for the things of gold and of silver for the things of silver, that is, for all the work [fn]done by the craftsmen. Who then is willing [fn]to consecrate himself this day to the LORD?”

1Ch 29:15

1Ch 29:15“For we are sojourners before You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope.

1Ch 29:16

1Ch 29:16“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.

1Ch 29:17

1Ch 29:17“Since I know, O my God, that You try the heart and delight 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.

1Ch 29:18

1Ch 29:18“O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, preserve this forever in the [fn]intentions of the heart of Your people, and direct their heart to You;

1Ch 29:19

1Ch 29:19and give to my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep Your commandments, Your testimonies and Your statutes, and to do them all, and to build the [fn]temple, for which I have made provision.”

1Ch 29:20

1Ch 29:20Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless the LORD your God.” And all the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and bowed low and did homage to the LORD and to the king.
