And king David said unto all the congregation, God hath chosen Solomon, one of my sons, young and tender: but the work is great, because it is not the habitation of man, but of God the LORD.

And I have sent out of all my strength unto the house of God gold for gold, and silver for silver, brass for brass, iron for iron, wood for wood, onyx stones, and rubies set in stones, and stones of many colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in multitude.

Above that, for the pleasure of the house of my God, I have goods of my own, gold and silver, 4. Three thousand talents of gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of pure silver: this will I give to the holy house of GOD above all that I have sent to cover the walls of the houses, 5. That that which is gold may be made gold, and that that which is silver may be made silver, and for all manner of work by the hand of the craftsmen. And who then is willing to fill his hand to the Lord this day?

Thine is the riches and the honour before thee: thou hast dominion over all things: in thine hand is strength and power; in thine hand is it to make every man great and strong.

Now, O our God, we thank thee, and praise the name of thy glory.

For what am I? What am my people, that we should have power to give freely, as this is done? For from thee have all things come, and from thy hand have we given them thee.

For we are strangers and sojourners before thee, as were all our fathers. Our life upon earth is as a shadow, and is no stay.

O LORD our God, all this company, which we have sent to build thee a house for thy holy name, is come from thy hand, and is all thine.

I know, O my God, that thou searchest the heart, and sincerity is acceptable unto thee.
Therefore I have freely given all these things out of a sincere heart, and now I have seen with joy your people who are here, that they have freely given to you.

O LORD God of our fathers, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, keep such a mind and thought in the hearts of thy people for ever, and send their hearts unto thee.

Now therefore give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy great people?

And God said unto Solomon, Because thou hast this in mind, and hast not asked for riches, nor for goods, nor for honour, nor for the souls of thine enemies, nor for long life, but hast asked for wisdom and knowledge, that thou mayest judge my people, wherefore I have made thee king,
