1 And David assembled all the chief men of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies, who waited on the king: and the captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and them who had the charge over the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons with the officers of the court, and the men of power, and all the bravest of the army at Jerusalem.

And he called together David all [the] officials of Israel [the] leaders of the tribes and [the] commanders of the divisions who served the king and [the] commanders of the thousands and [the] commanders of the hundreds and [the] officials of all [the] property and livestock - of the king and of sons his with the court-officials and the mighty [men] and to every mighty [man] of strength to Jerusalem.

2 And the king rising up, and standing said: Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had a thought to have built a house, in which the ark of the Lord, and the footstool of our God might rest: and I prepared all things for the building.

And he arose David the king on feet his and he said listen to me O brothers my and people my I [was] with heart my to build a house of rest for [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh and to [the] footstool of [the] feet of God our and I prepared to build.

3 And God said to me: Thou shalt not build a house to my name: because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.

And God he said to me not you will build a house for name my for [are] a man of wars you and blood you have shed.

4 But the Lord God of Israel chose me of all the house of my father, to be king over Israel for ever: for of Juda he chose the princes: and of the house of Juda, my father’s house: and among the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me king over all Israel.

And he chose Yahweh [the] God of Israel me from all [the] house of father my to become king over Israel for ever for Judah he chose to ruler and among [the] house of Judah [the] house of father my and among [the] sons of father my in me he took pleasure to make [me] king over all Israel.

5 And among my sons (for the Lord hath given me many sons) he hath chosen Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

And from all sons my for many sons he has given to me Yahweh and he has chosen Solomon son my to sit on [the] throne of [the] kingdom of Yahweh over Israel.

6 And he said to me: Solomon thy son shall build my house, and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be a father to him.

And he said to me Solomon son your he he will build house my and courts my for I have chosen him for myself to a son and I I will become of him a father.

7 And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day.

And I will establish kingdom his until for ever if he will be strong to observe commandments my and judgments my as the day this.

8 Now then before all the assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep ye, and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God: that you may possess the good land, and may leave it to your children after you for ever.

And therefore to [the] eyes of all Israel [the] assembly of Yahweh and in [the] ears of God our observe and seek all [the] commandments of Yahweh God your so that you may possess the land good and you will give [it] as inheritance to descendants your after you until perpetuity.

9 And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him, thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

And you O Solomon son my know [the] God of father your and serve him with a heart complete and with a being willing for all hearts [is] searching Yahweh and every inclination of thoughts [he is] understanding if you will seek him he will let himself be found by you and if you will forsake him he will reject you for ever.
