[2] Now I have prepared  with all my might  for the house  of my God  the gold  and the silver  and the brass  the iron  and wood  onyx  stones,  and stones to be set,  glistering  stones,  and of divers colours,  and all manner of precious  stones,  and marble  stones  in abundance.  [3] Moreover, because I have set my affection  to the house  of my God,  I have  of mine own proper good,  of gold  and silver,  which I have given  to the house  of my God,  over and above  all that I have prepared  for the holy  house,  [4] Even three  thousand  talents  of gold,  of Ophir,  and seven  thousand  talents  of refined  silver,  to overlay  the walls  of the houses  [5] The gold  and the silver  and for all manner of work  to be made by the hands  of artificers.  And who then is willing  to consecrate  his service  this day  unto the LORD?  [6] Then the chief  of the fathers  and princes  of the tribes  of Israel,  and the captains  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  of gold  five  thousand  talents  and ten thousand  drams,  and of silver  ten  thousand  talents,  and of brass  eighteen  thousand  talents,  and one hundred  thousand  talents  of iron.  [8] And they with whom precious stones  were found  gave  them to the treasure  of the house  of the LORD,  by the hand  of Jehiel  the Gershonite.  [9] Then the people  rejoiced,  for that they offered willingly,  because with perfect  heart  they offered willingly  to the LORD:  and David  the king  also rejoiced  with great  joy.
