Chapter 29 of 1 Chronicles—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Then King David said to the entire assembly, “My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, 1is still young and inexperienced and the work is great; for 2the [a]temple is not for man, but for the LORD God.
  2. Now 3with all my ability I have provided for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, onyx stones and inlaid stones, stones of antimony and stones of various colors, and all kinds of precious stones and alabaster in abundance.
  3. Moreover, in my delight in the house of my God, the treasure I have of gold and silver, I give to the house of my God, over and above all that I have already provided for the holy [b]temple,
  4. namely, 43,000 talents of gold, of 5the gold of Ophir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the [c]buildings;
  5. of gold for the things of gold and of silver for the things of silver, that is, for all the work [d]done by the craftsmen. Who then is willing [e]to consecrate himself this day to the LORD?”
  6. ¶ Then 6the rulers of the fathers’ households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with 7the overseers over the king’s work, offered willingly;
  7. and for the service for the house of God they gave 5,000 talents and 10,000 8darics of gold, and 10,000 talents of silver, and 18,000 talents of brass, and 100,000 talents of iron.
  8. [f]Whoever possessed precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, [g]in care of 9Jehiel the Gershonite.
  9. Then the people rejoiced because they had offered so willingly, for they made their offering to the LORD 10with a whole heart, and King David also rejoiced greatly.
  10. ¶ So David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly; and David said, “Blessed are You, O LORD God of Israel our father, forever and ever.
  11. 11Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.
  12. 12Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and 13in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.
  13. Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.
  14. ¶ “But who am I and who are my people that we should [h]be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and from Your hand we have given You.
  15. For 14we are sojourners before You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; 15our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope.
  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.
  17. Since I know, O my God, that 16You try the heart and 17delight 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.
  18. O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, preserve this forever in the [i]intentions of the heart of Your people, and direct their heart to You;
  19. and 18give to my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep Your commandments, Your testimonies and Your statutes, and to do them all, and 19to build the [j]temple, for which I have made provision.”
  20. ¶ Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless the LORD your God.” And 20all the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and 21bowed low and did homage to the LORD and to the king.
  21. ¶ On the next day 22they [k]made sacrifices to the LORD and offered burnt offerings to the LORD, 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams and 1,000 lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
  22. So they ate and drank that day before the LORD with great gladness.
    ¶ And they made Solomon the son of David king 23a second time, and they 24anointed him as ruler for the LORD and Zadok as priest.
  23. Then 25Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father; and he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
  24. All the officials, the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David [l]pledged allegiance to King Solomon.
  25. 26The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and 27bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel.
  26. ¶ Now 28David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
  27. 29The period which he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven years and [m]in Jerusalem thirty-three years.
  28. ¶ Then he died in 30a [n]ripe old age, 31full of days, riches and honor; and his son Solomon reigned in his place.
  29. Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the chronicles of 32Samuel the seer, in the chronicles of 33Nathan the prophet and in the chronicles of 34Gad the seer,
  30. with all his reign, his power, and the circumstances which came on him, on Israel, and on all the kingdoms of the lands.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
