3. Moreover, because I have my delight in the house of my God, I have in my own treasury, gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary:
4. three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, 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 manner of work to be made by the hands of the workmen. And who then is willing to consecrate the offering of his hands today unto the Lord?
6. Then the princes of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the princes of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king’s work, offered willingly
7. and gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents of gold and ten thousand daily wages and ten thousand talents of silver and eighteen thousand talents of brass and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
8. And each one gave the precious stones that they had to the treasure of the house of the Lord, into the hand of Jehiel, the Gershonite.
9. Then the people rejoiced to have offered willingly because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord. Likewise, David the king rejoiced with great joy
10. and blessed the Lord before all the congregation; and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
