and said unto all the congregation of Israel, "If it seem you good - and also to be of the LORD our God - Let us take and send unto the remnant of our brethren throughout all the land of Israel, and to the priests and Levites with them, in their cities and suburbs, and gather them together to us.

And all the congregation was content so to do, for the thing seemed good in the eyes of all the people.

And now I say unto you before 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 enjoy a good land and inherit your children after you forever.

And David the king said unto all the congregation, "God hath specially chosen Solomon my son which is yet young and tender, and the work is great, for the house is not for man, but for the LORD God.

And David blessed the LORD before all the congregation and said, "Blessed art thou LORD God of Israel our father, from ever and for ever.

And David said to all the congregation, "Bless the LORD your God." And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and stooped and bowed themselves unto the LORD and to the king.
