1 Chronicles 29:3

Offerings for Building the Temple

1 Furthermore King David said to all the assembly: “My son Solomon, whom alone God has ^achosen, is ^byoung and inexperienced; and the work is great, because the¹ temple is not for man but for the Lord God.

2 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, ^aonyx stones, stones to be set, glistening stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble slabs in abundance.

3 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:

4 three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of ^aOphir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses;

5 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 ^awilling to consecrate himself this day to the Lord?”

6 Then ^athe leaders of the fathers’ houses, leaders of the tribes of Israel, the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with ^bthe officers over the king’s work, ^coffered willingly.
