Bible Reading for August 30

1 Chronicles 27
[1] Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief
fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that
served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out
month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were
twenty and four thousand.
[2] Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of
Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. [3] Of the
children of Perez was the chief of all the captains of the host for the
first month.
[4] And over the course of the second month was Dodai an Ahohite, and of
his course was Mikloth also the ruler: in his course likewise were twenty
and four thousand.
[5] The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah the son
of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course were twenty and four
thousand. [6] This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty, and
above the thirty: and in his course was Ammizabad his son. [7] The fourth
captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah
his son after him: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.
[8] The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite: and in
his course were twenty and four thousand. [9] The sixth captain for the
sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite: and in his course were
twenty and four thousand. [10] The seventh captain for the seventh month
was Helez the Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were
twenty and four thousand. [11] The eighth captain for the eighth month was
Sibbecai the Hushathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and
four thousand. [12] The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the
Anetothite, of the Benjamites: and in his course were twenty and four
thousand. [13] The tenth captain for the tenth month was Maharai the
Netophathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and four
thousand. [14] The eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah the
Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and
four thousand.
[15] The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite,
of Othniel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. [16]
Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites was
Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of
Maachah: [17] Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the
Aaronites, Zadok: [18] Of Judah, Elihu, one of the brethren of David: of
Issachar, Omri the son of Michael:
[19] Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jerimoth the son
of Azriel:
[20] Of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of the half
tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah: [21] Of the half tribe of
Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son
of Abner: [22] Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These were the princes
of the tribes of Israel.
[23] But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under:
because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the
heavens.
[24] Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because
there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the
account of the chronicles of king David. [25] And over the king's treasures
was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in
the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son
of Uzziah: [26] And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of
the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub:
[27] And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of
the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite: [28] And over
the olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in the low plains was
Baal-hanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash: [29] And
over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the
herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai: [30] Over the
camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the
Meronothite:
[31] And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers
of the substance which was king David's. [32] Also Jonathan David's uncle
was a counseller, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni
was with the king's sons: [33] And Ahithophel was the king's counseller:
and Hushai the Archite was the king's companion:
[34] And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar:
and the general of the king's army was Joab.

1 Chronicles 28
[1] And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the
tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by
course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the
hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the
king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with
all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem.
[2] Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my
brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house
of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of
our God, and had made ready for the building: [3] But God said unto me,
Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of
war, and hast shed blood. [4] Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me
before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he
hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of
my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over
all Israel: [5] And of all 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.
[6] And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my
courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. [7]
Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my
commandments and my judgments, as at this day. [8] Now therefore in the
sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of
our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that
ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your
children after you for ever. [9] And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the
God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing
mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the
imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee;
but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
[10] Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the
sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
[11] Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of
the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper
chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of
the mercy seat,
[12] And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the
house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries
of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things: [13]
Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work
of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service
in the house of the LORD.
[14] He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of
all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight,
for all instruments of every kind of service: [15] Even the weight for the
candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every
candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver
by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof,
according to the use of every candlestick. [16] And by weight he gave gold
for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the
tables of silver: [17] Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls,
and the cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every
bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver: [18] And
for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern
of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and covered
the ark of the covenant of the LORD. [19] All this, said David, the LORD
made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of
this pattern. [20] And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good
courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my
God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou
hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD. [21]
And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be
with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with
thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any
manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at
thy commandment.

1 Chronicles 29
[1] Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my
son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is
great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God. [2] Now I have
prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to
be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for
things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood;
onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers
colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
[3] Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I
have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the
house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy
house, [4] Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and
seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the
houses withal:
[5] The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and
for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then
is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD? [6] Then the
chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains
of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered
willingly,
[7] And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand
talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of
brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
[8] And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure
of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. [9] Then
the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect
heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced
with great joy.
[10] Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and
David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and
ever. [11] Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory,
and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the
earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head
above all. [12] Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over
all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make
great, and to give strength unto all.
[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 none abiding.
[16] O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an
house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own. [17]
I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in
uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly
offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which
are present here, to offer willingly unto thee. [18] O LORD God of Abraham,
Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of
the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
[19] And 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 the which I have made provision. [20]
And 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
their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king. [21] And they
sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the
LORD, on the morrow after that 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 did eat and drink 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 to be the chief governor,
and Zadok to be priest. [23] Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as
king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed 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 royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
[26] Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. [27] And the time
that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in
Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem. [28] And he
died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his
son reigned in his stead. [29] Now the acts of David the king, first and
last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the
book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer, [30] With all
his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel,
and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
