11. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the honour, for all things in the heavens and in the earth are thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.
12. The riches and the glory are before thee, and thou dost reign over all, and in thy hand is power and might and in thy hand the greatness and the strength of all things.
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 no other hope.
16. O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name comes of thy hand and is all thy own.
17. I know also, my God, that thou dost try the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now have I seen with joy that thy people, who are present here, have given willingly unto thee.
18. O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep for ever this purpose in the thoughts of the heart of thy people and prepare their heart unto thee.
19. Likewise, give unto Solomon, my son, a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.
20. Then 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 and worshipped before the Lord and the king.
21. And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the Lord and offered burnt offerings unto the Lord, on the next 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 they ate and drank 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 as ruler and Zadok as priest.
23. Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David, his father, and was prospered; and all Israel heard him.
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 glory of the kingdom as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
