1 Chronicles 18:11
18:11 King David dedicated these things to the
Lord,
along with the silver and gold which he had carried off from all the nations, including
Edom,
Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.
1 Chronicles 22:14
22:14 Now, look, I have made every effort to supply what is needed to build the
Lord’s temple.
I have stored up 100,000 talents
of gold, 1,000,000
talents of silver, and so much bronze and iron it cannot be weighed, as well as wood and stones. Feel free to add more!
1 Chronicles 29:2-9
29:2 So I have made every effort
to provide what is needed for the temple of my God, including the gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood,
as well as a large amount of onyx, settings of antimony and other stones, all kinds of precious stones, and alabaster.
29:3 Now, to show my commitment to the temple of my God, I donate my personal treasure of gold and silver to the temple of my God, in addition to all that I have already supplied for this holy temple.
29:4 This includes 3,000 talents
of gold from Ophir and 7,000 talents of refined silver for overlaying the walls of the buildings,
29:5 for gold and silver items, and for all the work of the craftsmen. Who else wants to contribute to the
Lord today?”
29:6 The leaders of the families, the leaders of the Israelite tribes, the commanders of units of a thousand and a hundred, and the supervisors of the king’s work contributed willingly.
29:7 They donated for the service of God’s temple 5,000 talents and ten thousand darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.
29:8 All who possessed precious stones donated them to the treasury of the Lord’s temple, which was under the supervision of Jehiel the Gershonite.
29:9 The people were delighted with their donations, for they contributed to the Lord with a willing attitude; King David was also very happy.
Numbers 31:30-52
31:30 From the Israelites’ half-share you are to take one portion out of fifty of the people, the cattle, the donkeys, and the sheep – from every kind of animal – and you are to give them to the Levites, who are responsible for the care of the
Lord’s tabernacle.”
31:31 So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
31:32 The spoil that remained of the plunder which the fighting men had gathered was 675,000 sheep,
31:33 72,000 cattle,
31:34 61,000 donkeys,
31:35 and 32,000 young women who had never had sexual intercourse with a man.
31:36 The half-portion of those who went to war numbered 337,500 sheep;
31:37 the Lord’s tribute from the sheep was 675.
31:38 The cattle numbered 36,000; the Lord’s tribute was 72.
31:39 The donkeys were 30,500, of which the Lord’s tribute was 61.
31:40 The people were 16,000, of which the Lord’s tribute was 32 people.
31:41 So Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord’s raised offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.
31:42 From the Israelites’ half-share that Moses had separated from the fighting men,
31:43 there were 337,500 sheep from the portion belonging to the community,
31:44 36,000 cattle,
31:45 30,500 donkeys,
31:46 and 16,000 people.
31:47 From the Israelites’ share Moses took one of every fifty people and animals and gave them to the Levites who were responsible for the care of the Lord’s tabernacle, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
31:48 Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the commanders over thousands and the commanders over hundreds, approached Moses
31:49 and said to him, “Your servants have taken a count of the men who were in the battle, who were under our authority, and not one is missing.
31:50 So we have brought as an offering for the Lord what each man found: gold ornaments, armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”
31:51 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all of it in the form of ornaments.
31:52 All the gold of the offering they offered up to the Lord from the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds weighed 16,750 shekels.
