*
And David the king said to all the assembly , "
Solomon my son ,
whom alone God has chosen ,
is young and inexperienced ,
and the work is great ;
for the palace will not be for man but for the LORD God .
*
So I have provided for the house of my God ,
so far as I was able ,
the gold for the things of gold ,
the silver for the things of silver ,
and the bronze for the things of bronze ,
the iron for the things of iron ,
and wood for the things of wood ,
besides great quantities of onyx and stones for setting ,
antimony ,
colored stones ,
all sorts of precious stones ,
and marble .
*
Moreover ,
in addition to all that I have provided for the holy house ,
I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver ,
and because of my devotion to the house of my God I give it to the house of my God :
*
three thousand talents of gold ,
of the gold of Ophir ,
and seven thousand talents of refined silver ,
for overlaying the walls of the house ,
*
and for all the work to be done by craftsmen ,
gold for the things of gold and silver for the things of silver .
Who then will offer willingly ,
consecrating himself today to the LORD ?"
*
Then the heads of fathers '
houses made their freewill offerings ,
as did also the leaders of the tribes ,
the commanders of thousands and of hundreds ,
and the officers over the king '
s work .
*
They gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold ,
ten thousand talents of silver ,
eighteen thousand talents of bronze ,
and a hundred thousand talents of iron .
*
And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD ,
in the care of Jehi '
el the Gershonite .
*
Then the people rejoiced because these had given willingly ,
for with a whole heart they had offered freely to the LORD ;
David the king also rejoiced greatly .
