1 Chronicles 22:14-16

22:14 Now, look, I have made every effort to supply what is needed to build the Lord’s temple. ¹  I have stored up 100,000 talents ²  of gold, 1,000,000 ³  talents of silver, and so much bronze and iron it cannot be weighed, as well as wood and stones. Feel free to add more! 22:15 You also have available many workers, including stonecutters, masons, carpenters, ⁴  and an innumerable array of workers who are skilled 22:16 in using gold, silver, bronze, and iron. ⁵  Get up and begin the work! May the Lord be with you!”
