Now afterH310 these thingsH1697, in the reignH4438 of ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, EzraH5830 the sonH1121 of SeraiahH8304, the sonH1121 of AzariahH5838, the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518,
The sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285,
The sonH1121 of AmariahH568, the sonH1121 of AzariahH5838, the sonH1121 of MeraiothH4812,
The sonH1121 of ZerahiahH2228, the sonH1121 of UzziH5813, the sonH1121 of BukkiH1231,
The sonH1121 of AbishuaH50, the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the chiefH7218 priestH3548:
This EzraH5830 went upH5927 from BabylonH894; and he was a readyH4106 scribeH5608 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, which the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 had givenH5414: and the kingH4428 grantedH5414 him all his requestH1246, according to the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430 upon him.
And there went upH5927 some of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and the singersH7891, and the portersH7778, and the NethinimsH5411, unto JerusalemH3389, in the seventhH7651 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428.
And he cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, which was in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 of the kingH4428.
For upon the firstH259 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320 beganH3246 he to go upH4609 from BabylonH894, and on the firstH259 day of the fifthH2549 monthH2320 cameH935 he to JerusalemH3389, according to the goodH2896 handH3027 of his GodH430 upon him. {began…: Heb. was the foundation of the going up}
For EzraH5830 had preparedH3559 his heartH3824 to seekH1875 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and to doH6213 it, and to teachH3925 in IsraelH3478 statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941.
Now this is the copyH6572 of the letterH5406 that the kingH4428 ArtaxerxesH783 gaveH5414 unto EzraH5830 the priestH3548, the scribeH5608, even a scribeH5608 of the wordsH1697 of the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and of his statutesH2706 to IsraelH3478.
ArtaxerxesH783, kingH4430 of kingsH4430, unto EzraH5831 the priestH3549, a scribeH5613 of the lawH1882 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, perfectH1585 peace, and at such a timeH3706. {unto…: or, to Ezra the priest, a perfect scribe of the law of the God of heaven, peace, etc}
IH4481 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, that allH3606 they ofH4481 the peopleH5972 of IsraelH3479, and of his priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, in my realmH4437, which are minded of their own freewillH5069 to go upH1946 to JerusalemH3390, goH1946 with theeH5974.
ForasmuchH1768+H6903 asH3606 thou art sentH7972 ofH4481+H6925 the kingH4430, and of his sevenH7655 counsellorsH3272, to enquireH1240 concerningH5922 JudahH3061 and JerusalemH3390, according to the lawH1882 of thy GodH426 which is in thine handH3028; {of the king: Chaldee, from before the king}
And to carryH2987 the silverH3702 and goldH1722, which the kingH4430 and his counsellorsH3272 have freely offeredH5069 unto the GodH426 of IsraelH3479, whoseH1768 habitationH4907 is in JerusalemH3390,
And allH3606 the silverH3702 and goldH1722 that thou canst findH7912 in allH3606 the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, withH5974 the freewill offeringH5069 of the peopleH5972, and of the priestsH3549, offering willinglyH5069 for the houseH1005 of their GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390:
ThatH3606+H6903 thou mayest buyH7066 speedilyH629 with thisH1836 moneyH3702 bullocksH8450, ramsH1798, lambsH563, with their meat offeringsH4504 and their drink offeringsH5261, and offerH7127 themH1994 uponH5922 the altarH4056 of the houseH1005 of your GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390.
And whatsoeverH4101+H1768 shall seem goodH3191 to thee, and toH5922 thy brethrenH252, to doH5648 with the restH7606 of the silverH3702 and the goldH1722, that doH5648 after the willH7470 of your GodH426.
The vesselsH3984 also that are givenH3052 thee for the serviceH6402 of the houseH1005 of thy GodH426, those deliverH8000 thou beforeH6925 the GodH426 of JerusalemH3390.
And whatsoever moreH7606 shall be needfulH2819 for the houseH1005 of thy GodH426, which thou shalt have occasionH5308 to bestowH5415, bestowH5415 it out ofH4481 the king'sH4430 treasureH1596 houseH1005.
And IH4481, even IH576 ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4430, do makeH7761 a decreeH2942 to allH3606 the treasurersH1490 which are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, that whatsoever EzraH5831 the priestH3549, the scribeH5613 of the lawH1882 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, shall requireH7593 of you, it be doneH5648 speedilyH629,
UntoH5705 an hundredH3969 talentsH3604 of silverH3702, and to an hundredH3969 measuresH3734 of wheatH2591, and to an hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of wineH2562, and to an hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of oilH4887, and saltH4416 withoutH3809 prescribingH3792 how much. {measures: Chaldee, cors}
WhatsoeverH3606 is commanded byH2941+H4481 the GodH426 of heavenH8065, let it be diligentlyH149 doneH5648 for the houseH1005 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065: forH1768 whyH4101 should there beH1934 wrathH7109 againstH5922 the realmH4437 of the kingH4430 and his sonsH1123? {Whatsoever…: Chaldee, Whatsoever is of the decree}
Also we certifyH3046 you, that touching anyH3606 of the priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, singersH2171, portersH8652, NethinimsH5412, or ministersH6399 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426, it shall notH3809 be lawfulH7990 to imposeH7412 tollH4061, tributeH1093, or customH1983, uponH5922 them.
And thouH607, EzraH5831, after the wisdomH2452 of thy GodH426, that is in thine handH3028, setH4483 magistratesH8200 and judgesH1782, which may judgeH1934+H1778 allH3606 the peopleH5972 that are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, allH3606 such as knowH3046 the lawsH1882 of thy GodH426; and teachH3046 ye them that knowH3046 them notH3809.
And whosoeverH3606 will notH3809 doH1934+H5648 the lawH1882 of thy GodH426, and the lawH1882 of the kingH4430, let judgmentH1780 beH1934 executedH5648 speedilyH629 upon himH4481, whetherH2006 it be unto deathH4193, orH2006 to banishmentH8332, orH2006 to confiscationH6065 of goodsH5232, or to imprisonmentH613. {to banishment: Chaldee, to rooting out}
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, which hath putH5414 such a thing as this in the king'sH4428 heartH3820, to beautifyH6286 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which is in JerusalemH3389:
And hath extendedH5186 mercyH2617 unto me beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and his counsellorsH3289, and before all the king'sH4428 mightyH1368 princesH8269. And I was strengthenedH2388 as the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430 was upon me, and I gathered togetherH6908 out of IsraelH3478 chief menH7218 to go upH5927 with me.

And keptH6213 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117 with joyH8057: for the LORDH3068 had made them joyfulH8055, and turnedH5437 the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto them, to strengthenH2388 their handsH3027 in the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

Wherefore DavidH1732 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 beforeH5869 all the congregationH6951: and DavidH1732 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou, LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 our fatherH1, forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769.
Thine, O LORDH3068, is the greatnessH1420, and the powerH1369, and the gloryH8597, and the victoryH5331, and the majestyH1935: for all that is in the heavenH8064 and in the earthH776 is thine; thine is the kingdomH4467, O LORDH3068, and thou art exaltedH4984 as headH7218 above all.
Both richesH6239 and honourH3519 come of theeH6440, and thou reignestH4910 over all; and in thine handH3027 is powerH3581 and mightH1369; and in thine handH3027 it is to make greatH1431, and to give strengthH2388 unto all.
Now therefore, our GodH430, we thankH3034 thee, and praiseH1984 thy gloriousH8597 nameH8034.
But who am I, and what is my peopleH5971, that we should beH6113 ableH3581 to offer so willinglyH5068 after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine ownH3027 have we givenH5414 thee. {be able: Heb. retain, or, obtain strength} {of thine…: Heb. of thine hand}
For we are strangersH1616 beforeH6440 thee, and sojournersH8453, as were all our fathersH1: our daysH3117 on the earthH776 are as a shadowH6738, and there is none abidingH4723. {abiding: Heb. expectation}
O LORDH3068 our GodH430, all this storeH1995 that we have preparedH3559 to buildH1129 thee an houseH1004 for thine holyH6944 nameH8034 cometh of thine handH3027, and is all thine own.
I knowH3045 also, my GodH430, that thou triestH974 the heartH3824, and hast pleasureH7521 in uprightnessH3476. As for me, in the uprightnessH4339 of mine heartH3824 I have willingly offeredH5068 all these things: and now have I seenH7200 with joyH8057 thy peopleH5971, which are presentH4672 here, to offer willinglyH5068 unto thee. {present: Heb. found}
O LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, our fathersH1, keepH8104 this for everH5769 in the imaginationH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of the heartH3824 of thy peopleH5971, and prepareH3559 their heartH3824 unto thee: {prepare: or, stablish}
And giveH5414 unto SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 a perfectH8003 heartH3824, to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687, thy testimoniesH5715, and thy statutesH2706, and to doH6213 all these things, and to buildH1129 the palaceH1002, for the which I have made provisionH3559.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to all the congregationH6951, Now blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your GodH430. And all the congregationH6951 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and bowed down their headsH6915, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068, and the kingH4428.
And they sacrificedH2076 sacrificesH2077 unto the LORDH3068, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068, on the morrowH4283 after that dayH3117, even a thousandH505 bullocksH6499, a thousandH505 ramsH352, and a thousandH505 lambsH3532, with their drink offeringsH5262, and sacrificesH2077 in abundanceH7230 for all IsraelH3478:
And did eatH398 and drinkH8354 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 on that dayH3117 with greatH1419 gladnessH8057. And they made SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4427 the second timeH8145, and anointedH4886 him unto the LORDH3068 to be the chief governorH5057, and ZadokH6659 to be priestH3548.
Then SolomonH8010 sat onH3427 the throneH3678 of the LORDH3068 as kingH4428 instead of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, and prosperedH6743; and all IsraelH3478 obeyedH8085 him.
And all the princesH8269, and the mighty menH1368, and all the sonsH1121 likewise of kingH4428 DavidH1732, submitted themselvesH5414+H3027+H8478 unto SolomonH8010 the kingH4428. {submitted…: Heb. gave the hand under Solomon}
And the LORDH3068 magnifiedH1431 SolomonH8010 exceedinglyH4605 in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478, and bestowedH5414 upon him such royalH4438 majestyH1935 as had not been on any kingH4428 beforeH6440 him in IsraelH3478.
Thus DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 reignedH4427 over all IsraelH3478.
And the timeH3117 that he reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 was fortyH705 yearsH8141; sevenH7651 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in HebronH2275, and thirtyH7970 and threeH7969 years reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389.
And he diedH4191 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872, fullH7649 of daysH3117, richesH6239, and honourH3519: and SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
Now the actsH1697 of DavidH1732 the kingH4428, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of SamuelH8050 the seerH7200, and in the bookH1697 of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and in the bookH1697 of GadH1410 the seerH2374, {book: or, history: Heb. words}
With all his reignH4438 and his mightH1369, and the timesH6256 that went overH5674 him, and over IsraelH3478, and over all the kingdomsH4467 of the countriesH776.
And I aroseH6965 in the nightH3915, I and someH4592 fewH4592 menH582 with me; neither toldH5046 I any manH120 what my GodH430 had putH5414 in my heartH3820 to doH6213 at JerusalemH3389: neither was there any beastH929 with me, save the beastH929 that I rode uponH7392.
The king'sH4428 heartH3820 is in the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, as the riversH6388 of waterH4325: he turnethH5186 it whithersoever he willH2654.
ButG1161 I rejoicedG5463 inG1722 the LordG2962 greatlyG3171, thatG3754 nowG2235 at the lastG4218 your careG5426+G330 ofG5228 meG1700 hath flourished againG330; whereinG1909+G3739 ye wereG5426 alsoG2532 carefulG5426, butG1161 ye lacked opportunityG170. {hath…: or, is revived}
And my GodH430 putH5414 into mine heartH3820 to gather togetherH6908 the noblesH2715, and the rulersH5461, and the peopleH5971, that they might be reckoned by genealogyH3187. And I foundH4672 a registerH5612 of the genealogyH3188 of them which came upH5927 at the firstH7223, and foundH4672 writtenH3789 therein,
ButG1161 thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, whichG3588 putG1325 the sameG846 earnest careG4710 intoG1722 the heartG2588 of TitusG5103 forG5228 youG5216.
ForG3754 thisG3778 is the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I will makeG1303 with the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 afterG3326 thoseG1565 daysG2250, saithG3004 the LordG2962; I will putG1325 myG3450 lawsG3551 intoG1519 theirG846 mindG1271, andG2532 writeG1924 themG846 inG1909 theirG846 heartsG2588: andG2532 I will beG2071 toG1519 themG846 a GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 toG1519 meG3427 a peopleG2992: {put: Gr. give} {in: or, upon}
ThisG3778 is the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I will makeG1303 withG4314 themG846 afterG3326 thoseG1565 daysG2250, saithG3004 the LordG2962, I will putG1325 myG3450 lawsG3551 intoG1909 theirG846 heartsG2588, andG2532 inG1909 theirG846 mindsG1271 will I writeG1924 themG846;
