1 Chronicles 29:1–8

¹And David the king saith to all the assembly, ‘Solomon my son—the one on whom God hath fixed—is young and tender, and the work is great, for not for man is the palace, but for Jehovah God; ²and with all my power I have prepared for the house of my God, the gold for things of gold, and the silver for those of silver, and the brass for those of brass, the iron for those of iron, and the wood for those of wood, shoham stones, and settings, and stones of painting and of diverse colours, and all kinds of precious stone, and stones of white marble, in abundance.

³‘And again, because of my delighting in the house of my God, the substance I have—a peculiar treasure of gold and silver—I have given for the house of my God, even over and above all I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary: ⁴three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses, ⁵even gold for things of gold, and silver for those of silver, and for all the work by the hand of artificers; and who is he that is offering willingly to consecrate his hand to-day to Jehovah?’ ⁶And the heads of the fathers, and the heads of the tribes of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, even to the heads of the work of the king, offer willingly. ⁷And they give for the service of the house of God, of gold—talents five thousand, and drams a myriad; and of silver—talents ten thousand, and of brass—a myriad and eight thousand talents; and of iron—a hundred thousand talents; ⁸and he with whom stones are found hath given to the treasury of the house of Jehovah, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
