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.
