1 Tawarikh 17:17

17:17 And you did not stop there, O God! You have also spoken about the future of your servant’s family. ¹  You have revealed to me what men long to know, ²  O Lord God.

1 Tawarikh 28:21

28:21 Here are the divisions of the priests and Levites who will perform all the service of God’s temple. All the willing and skilled men are ready to assist you in all the work and perform their service. ³  The officials and all the people are ready to follow your instructions.” ⁴ 

1 Tawarikh 29:21-22

David Designates Solomon King

29:21 The next day they made sacrifices and offered burnt sacrifices to the Lord (1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 lambs), along with their accompanying drink offerings and many other sacrifices for all Israel. 29:22 They held a feast ⁵  before the Lord that day and celebrated. ⁶ 

Then they designated Solomon, David’s son, as king a second time; ⁷  before the Lord they anointed him as ruler and Zadok as priest.

[17:17]  ¹ tn Heb “and this was small in your eyes, O God, so you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a distance.”

[17:17]  ² tn The translation “You have revealed to me what men long to know” is very tentative; the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The text appears to read literally, “and you see me like the searching of man, that which is upward,” which is nonsensical. The translation above assumes the following: (1) The Qal verb translated “you see me” is repointed as a Hiphil, “you showed me,” (2) תּוֹר (tor) is understood in the sense of “searching, exploring,” and (3) הַמַּעֲלָה (hamma’alah) is taken in a temporal sense of “that which lies beyond.” Thus one could translate, “you have shown me what men search for, what lies beyond.”

[28:21]  ³ tn Heb “and with you in all work, for every willing [one] in skill for all service.”

[28:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the officials and all the people to all your words.”

[29:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “they ate and drank.”

[29:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “with great joy.”

[29:22]  ⁷ sn See 1 Chr 23:1, where David had previously designated Solomon as king over Israel.
