Verse 9 is found in chapter 29 of 1 Chronicles. David explains that Solomon will build the temple and encourages the people to contribute willingly. The king gives first from his own resources, followed by generous offerings from the leaders. The community responds with joy because generosity is presented as voluntary participation in a work dedicated to God rather than as forced taxation.

Le peuple se réjouit de leurs offrandes volontaires, car c'était avec un coeur bien disposé qu'ils les faisaient à l'Eternel; et le roi David en eut aussi une grande joie.
E il popolo si rallegrò di ciò che coloro offerivano volontariamente; perciocchè d’un cuore intiero facevano le loro offerte volontarie al Signore. Il re Davide se ne rallegrò anch’egli grandemente
E o povo se alegrou porque contribuíram voluntariamente; porque, com coração perfeito, voluntariamente deram ao SENHOR; e também o rei Davi se alegrou com grande alegria.
因這些人全心樂意獻給耶和華,百姓就歡喜, 大衛 王也大大歡喜。
