* And king David said unto all the assembly , Solomon , the only son of mine whom God hath made choice of , is yet young and tender , and the work is great ; because not for man is the palace to be , but for the Lord God . * But with all my might have I made ready for the house of my God , the gold for the things of gold , and the silver for the things of silver , and the copper for the things of copper , the iron for the things of iron , and the wood for the things of wood , onyx stones , and stones to be set , bright stones , and stones of divers colors , and all manner of precious stones , and marble stones in abundance . * Moreover , because I have set my affection on the house of my God , have I acquired as my own property gold and silver ; have I given to the house of my God , over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house : * Three thousand talents of gold , of the gold of Ophir , and seven thousand talents of refined silver , to overlay the walls of the houses ; * All that is needed of gold and of silver , and for every manner of work by the hands of artificers . And who is willing to consecrate his hand this day unto the Lord ? * Thereupon offered voluntarily the chiefs of the family divisions and the princes of the tribes of Israel , and the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds , with the supervisors of the king ’s work ; * And they gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drachms , and of silver ten thousand talents , and of copper eighteen thousand talents , and of iron one hundred thousand talents . * And those with whom stones were found gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord , under the supervision of Jechiel the Gershunite . * Then did the people rejoice , because they had voluntarily offered : for with an undivided heart did they offer to the Lord : and also king David rejoiced with great joy .
