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, ^rand the officials in charge of the king’s work ^sgave willingly. ⁷For the service of God’s house they gave 185 tons ^tof gold and 10,000 gold coins, ^uv375 tons ^wof silver, 675 tons ^xof bronze, and 4,000 tons ^yof iron. ⁸Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the Lord’s house under the care of Jehiel ^zthe Gershonite. ⁹Then the people rejoiced because of their leaders’ willingness to give, for they had given to the Lord with a whole heart. ^aKing David also rejoiced greatly.
