Offerings for the Temple

1 AND David the king spake to all the assembly: Salomon my son alone hath God chosen, as yet a child and a little tender one: for the work is great, neither is the habitation prepared for man, but for God.📜💬📚

2 And I with all my ability have prepared the expenses of the house of my God. Gold for vessels of gold, and silver for them of silver, brass for them of brass, iron for them of iron, wood for them of wood: and onyx stones, and as it were stibians, and of diverse colours, and every precious stone, and marble of Paros most abundantly:📜💬📚

3 and above these things, which I have offered into the house of my God, I give of mine own peculiar goods, gold & silver unto the temple of my God, beside those things, which I have prepared for the holy house:📜💬📚

4 Three thousand talents of gold of the gold of Ophir: and seven thousand talents of most approved silver, to guilt the walls of the temple.📜💬📚

5 And wheresoever there needeth gold, of gold: and wheresoever there needeth silver, of silver: let the works be made by the hands of the artificers: and if any man offer voluntarily, let him fill his hand to day, and offer what he will to our Lord.📜💬📚
