1 Chronicles 22:3-5
22:3 David supplied a large amount of iron for the nails of the doors of the gates and for braces, more bronze than could be weighed,
22:4 and more cedar logs than could be counted. (The Sidonians and Tyrians had brought a large amount of cedar logs to David.)
22:5 David said, “My son Solomon is just an inexperienced young man, and the temple to be built for the Lord must be especially magnificent so it will become famous and be considered splendid by all the nations. Therefore I will make preparations for its construction.” So David made extensive preparations before he died.
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.
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!”
