1 Chronicles 29:7

And gave for the service of the house of God
For building and adorning it, and providing proper utensils for it:

of gold five thousand talents;
which, according to Scheuchzer ^F12, came to 61,100,000 ducats of gold: and these, with "the 10,000 drachms"; make of our money, according to Brerewood ^F13, 22,507,500 pounds; some reckon a drachm at two ducats and a half, and somewhat more ^F14:

and of silver ten thousand talents;
which, according to the former writer, amounted to 450,000,000 imperials, or rix dollars; and, according to the latter, they made of our money 3,750,000 pounds:

and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand
talents of iron;
the weight of each of which were so much.
