3Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the house of my God over and above all that I’ve provided for the holy house: 4100 tonsEn of gold (gold of Ophiro) and 250 tonsF of refined silver for overlaying the walls of the buildings, 5the gold for the gold work and the silver for the silver, for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now who will volunteer to consecrate himself to the Lord today?”

6Then the leaders of the households, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds,p and the officials in charge of the king’s workq gave willingly. 7For the service of God’s house they gave 185 tonsG of gold and 10,000 gold coins,Hr 375 tonsI of silver, 675 tonsJ of bronze, and 4,000 tonsK of iron. 8Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the Lord’s house under the care of Jehiels the Gershonite. 9Then the people rejoiced because of their leaders’ willingness to give, for they had given to the Lord wholeheartedly.t King David also rejoiced greatly.
