³Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, ⁴Even ^hthree thousand talents of gold, of the gold of ⁱOphir, and seven thousand talents of ^jrefined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal: ⁵The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing ^†to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord?

⁶Then ^kthe chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with ^lthe rulers of the king’s work, offered willingly, ⁷And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand ^mdrams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. ⁸And they with whom ⁿprecious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the Lord, ^oby the hand of ^pJehiel the Gershonite. ⁹Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they ^qoffered willingly to the Lord: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
