*
And king David said to all the congregation ,
Solomon my son ,
the one whom God has chosen ,
is young and tender ,
and the work is great ;
for this palace is not to be for man ,
but for Jehovah Elohim .
*
And I have prepared according to all my power for the house of my God gold for [
things of ]
gold ,
and silver for [
things of ]
silver ,
and brass for [
things of ]
brass ,
iron for [
things of ]
iron ,
and wood for [
things of ]
wood ;
onyx stones ,
and [
stones ]
to be set ,
glistering stones ,
and of divers colours ,
and all manner of precious stones ,
and white marble in abundance .
*
And moreover ,
in my affection for the house of my God I have given of my own property of gold and silver ,
for the house of my God ,
over and above all that I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary :
*
three thousand talents of gold ,
of the gold of Ophir ,
and seven thousand talents of refined silver ,
to overlay the walls of the houses ;
*
gold for [
things of ]
gold ,
and silver for [
things of ]
silver ,
and for all manner of work by the hands of artificers .
And who is willing to offer to Jehovah this day ?
*
And the chief fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel ,
and the captains of thousands and of hundreds ,
and the comptrollers of the king '
s business ,
offered willingly .
*
And they gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold ,
and ten thousand talents of silver ,
and eighteen thousand talents of brass ,
and one hundred thousand talents of iron .
*
And they with whom stones were found gave [
them ]
to the treasure of the house of Jehovah ,
into the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite .
*
And the people rejoiced because they offered willingly ,
for with perfect heart they offered willingly to Jehovah ;
and David the king also rejoiced with great joy .
