*
Furthermore King David said to all the assembly : "
My son Solomon ,
whom alone God has chosen ,
is young and inexperienced ;
and the work is great ,
because the temple is not for man but for the LORD God .
*
Now for the house of my God I have prepared with all my might :
gold for things to be made of gold ,
silver for things of silver ,
bronze for things of bronze ,
iron for things of iron ,
wood for things of wood ,
onyx stones ,
stones to be set ,
glistening stones of various colors ,
all kinds of precious stones ,
and marble slabs in abundance .
*
Moreover ,
because I have set my affection on the house of my God ,
I have given to the house of my God ,
over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house ,
my own special treasure of gold and silver :
*
three thousand talents of gold ,
of the gold of Ophir ,
and seven thousand talents of refined silver ,
to overlay the walls of the houses ;
*
the gold for things of gold and the silver for things of silver ,
and for all kinds of work to be done by the hands of craftsmen .
Who then is willing to consecrate himself this day to the LORD ?"
*
Then the leaders of the fathers '
houses ,
leaders of the tribes of Israel ,
the captains of thousands and of hundreds ,
with the officers over the king '
s work ,
offered willingly .
*
They gave for the work 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 one hundred thousand talents of iron .
*
And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD ,
into the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite .
*
Then the people rejoiced ,
for they had offered willingly ,
because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD ;
and King David also rejoiced greatly .
