1–5. Пожертвования Давида на постройку храма из личных средств. 6–8. Пожертвования народа. 9–21. Молитва Давида и жертвоприношения. 22–25. Вторичное воцарение Соломона и общая характеристика его царствования. 26–30. Заключение к истории правления Давида.

1David the king said to all the assembly, "Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for the Lord God.

2Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the brass for the things of brass, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, stones for inlaid work, and of various colors, and all kinds of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

3In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, since I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

4even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, with which to overlay the walls of the houses;

5of gold for the things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be made by the hands of artisans. Who then offers willingly to consecrate himself this day to the Lord?"

Commentary, vv. 1–5 (in Russian)

. Занятый одной и той же мыслью о постройке храма, Давид говорит народному собранию, что ввиду величия этого дела и неопытности Соломона он приготовил в течение своей жизни необходимые для сооружения дома Божия материалы, а теперь жертвует для его постройки около (на наши меры) 180 000 фунтов золота и 420 000 фунтов серебра.

6Then the princes of the fathers' households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king's work, offered willingly;

7and they gave for the service of God's house of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and of iron a hundred thousand talents.

Commentary, v. 7 (in Russian)

. В числе собранных народом пожертвований значится между прочим 10 000 драхм золота или, по еврейскому тексту, 10 000 «адарконим». Греческий перевод данного слова выражением «Λαρεικος» дает повод думать, что выпуск и чеканка этой монеты принадлежит Дарию Гистаспу. Но по исследованиям Дункера и Мешена, она древнее Дария, была известна грекам времени Солона. Равным образом и свое название получила не от имени Дария, а от того изображения, которое находилось на ней и представляло стрелка, стреляющего из лука. Корень слова «даркон», или «адаркон» — «дарок» — «шагать», «выступать вперед», что обыкновенно делается при натягивании лука. Ввиду этого термин «дарок» стали употреблять в значении «натягивать лук», а образовавшееся из него существительное «даркон», или «аодаркон» значит «стрелок из лука» (Лэви. Geschichte der ludischen Munzen. S. 19, anm. 4). Ввиду всего этого упоминание о дариках в кн. Паралипоменон не может служить, как думают некоторые, признаком их происхождения после Ездры.

8They with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the Lord, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

9Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

10Therefore David blessed the Lord before all the assembly; and David said, "You are blessed, Lord, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.

11Yours, Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.

12Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all; and in your hand is power and might; and it is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all.

13Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name.

14But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.

15For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

16The Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own.

17I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now have I seen with joy your people, that are present here, offer willingly to you.

18The Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;

19and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision."

20David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the Lord your God!" All the assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before the Lord and the king.

Commentary, vv. 10–20 (in Russian)

. Народные пожертвования ценны не по количеству собранных драгоценностей. Эти последние принадлежат не человеку, а Богу, как владыке всего существующего, и отказ от них не составляет для первого заслуги. Пожертвования дороги со стороны сказавшихся в них любви и усердия народа к Богу. Подобное настроение — источник народного счастья (XXVIII:3–9), и может быть сохранено при помощи и содействии самого Бога.

21They sacrificed sacrifices to the Lord, and offered burnt offerings to the Lord, on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel,

22and ate and drink before the Lord on that day with great gladness. They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him to the Lord to be prince, and Zadok to be priest.

Commentary, v. 22 (in Russian)

. Вторичное воцарение Соломона отличается от первого (XXIII:1) тем, что оно соединяется с помазанием. Помазание Садока было началом возвышения его над потомком Ифамара Авиафаром. Последний в первые же годы правления Соломона был лишен должности и удален в Анафоф (3 Цар II:26).

23Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

24All the princes, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of king David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.

25The Lord magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

Commentary, vv. 23–25 (in Russian)

. Общая характеристика правления вполне соответствует тенденции автора отмечать только светлые стороны (ср. ст. 24 с 3 Цар I:5 и д.). Впрочем, замечание, что он превосходил своей славой предшествовавших ему царей израильских, т. е. Саула и Давида, не представляет гиперболы.

26Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

27The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

Commentary, v. 27 (in Russian)

. По 2 Цар V:5, Давид царствовал в Xевроне 7 1/2 лет.

Магистр богословия священник А. В. Петровский

28He died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son reigned in his place.

29Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,

30with all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
