1 Chronicles 22:14-19
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!
22:15 You also have available many workers, including stonecutters, masons, carpenters,
and an innumerable array of workers who are skilled
22:16 in using gold, silver, bronze, and iron.
Get up and begin the work! May the
Lord be with you!”
22:17 David ordered all the officials of Israel to support his son Solomon.
22:18 He told them, “The Lord your God is with you! He has made you secure on every side, for he handed over to me the inhabitants of the region and the region is subdued before the Lord and his people.
22:19 Now seek the Lord your God wholeheartedly and with your entire being! Get up and build the sanctuary of the Lord God! Then you can bring the ark of the Lord’s covenant and the holy items dedicated to God’s service into the temple that is built to honor the Lord.”
