29:10-19 David’s prayer of praise concluded his addresses at Solomon’s coronation. The prayer extols God’s power and the glory of his kingdom, and it serves to dedicate the offerings given for building the Temple. The prayer is composed of three parts: the doxology (29:10b-13), the presentation and dedication of the offerings (29:14-17), and the petition (29:18-19).
