<p class="poetry">When he made<n id="1" /> the force of the windp> <p class="poetry">and measured<n id="2" /> the waters with a gauge.p>

Solomon left all these items unweighed; there were so many of them they did not weigh the bronze.<n id="1" />p>

So David bought the place from Ornan for 600 pieces of gold.<n id="1" />

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,

for the gold used in the display tables, including the amount to be used in each table, for the silver to be used in the silver tables,

Solomon made so many of these items they did not weigh the bronze.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Then the priests and the Levites took charge of<n id="1" /> the silver, the gold, and the vessels that had been weighed out, to transport them to Jerusalem to the temple of our God.p>

Now Ishbi-Benob, one of the descendants of Rapha,<n id="1" /> had a spear<n id="2" /> that weighed three hundred bronze shekels,<n id="3" /> and he was armed with a new weapon.<n id="4" /> He had said that he would kill David.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Solomon received 666 talents<n id="1" /> of gold per year,<n id="2" />

The bronze of the items that King Solomon made for the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s temple &#8211; including the two pillars, the big bronze basin called &#8220;The Sea,&#8221; the twelve bronze bulls under &#8220;The Sea,&#8221;<n id="1" /> and the movable stands &#8211; was too heavy to be weighed.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Solomon received 666 talents<n id="1" /> of gold per year,<n id="2" />

The total weight of the gold earrings he requested came to seventeen hundred gold shekels.<n id="1" /> This was in addition to the crescent-shaped ornaments, jewelry,<n id="2" /> purple clothing worn by the Midianite kings, and the necklaces on the camels.<n id="3" />

David took the crown from the head of their king<n id="1" /> and wore it<n id="2" /> (its weight was a talent<n id="3" /> of gold and it was set with precious stones). He took a large amount of plunder from the city.

Now, look, I have made every effort to supply what is needed to build the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s temple.<n id="1" /> I have stored up 100,000 talents<n id="2" /> of gold, 1,000,000<n id="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!
