1 Chronicles 29 is the twenty-ninth chapter of the Books of Chronicles in the Hebrew Bible or the final chapter in the First Book of Chronicles in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.[1][2] The book is compiled from older sources by an unknown person or group, designated by modern scholars as "the Chronicler", and had the final shape established in late fifth or fourth century BCE.[3] This chapter consists of four parts: the voluntary gifts for the temple (verses 1–9), David's prayer and the people's response (verses 10–20); Solomon's accession to the throne (verses 21–25), and the concluding praise of David's reign (verses 26–30).[4] The whole chapter belongs to the section focusing on the kingship of David (1 Chronicles 9:35 to 29:30),[1] which from chapter 22 to the end does not have parallel in 2 Samuel.[5]
