The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Cumque complesset offerens holocausta et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini exercituum.
Septuagint (Swete)
καὶ συνετέλεσεν Δαυεὶδ συναναφέρων τὰς ὁλοκαυτώσεις καὶ τὰς εἰρηνικάς, καὶ εὐλόγησεν τὸν λαὸν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων.
Hebrew (WLC)
וַיְכַ֣ל דָּוִ֔ד מֵהַעֲל֥וֹת הָעוֹלָ֖ה וְהַשְּׁלָמִ֑ים וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ אֶת הָעָ֔ם בְּשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת

Haydock's commentary

Blessed. Wishing all sorts of happiness. Only priests and kings perform this function publicly, 3 Kings viii. 55. Afterwards David went to his palace, to impart the same blessing to his family, and particularly to the women, who had not been present. This is a vestige of the sacerdotal power, which masters of families formerly enjoyed.
