3 "Moreover, in my delight in the house of my God, the treasure I have of gold and silver, I give to the house of my God, over and above * all that I have already provided for the holy temple,
4 namely, 1 3,000 * talents of gold, of 2 the gold of Ophir, and 7,000 * talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings;
5 of gold for the things of gold and of silver for the things of silver, that is, for all the work done by the craftsmen. Who then is willing to consecrate * himself this day to the LORD?"
6 Then 3the rulers of the fathers' households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with 4the overseers over the king's work, offered willingly;
7 and for the service for the house of God they gave 5,000 * talents and 10,000 * 5darics of gold, and 10,000 * talents of silver, and 18,000 * * talents of brass, and 100,000 * talents of iron.
8 Whoever possessed precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, in care of 6Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 Then the people rejoiced because they had offered so willingly, for they made their offering to the LORD 7with a whole heart, and King David also rejoiced greatly.

1 Chronicles 29:3-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 29

This chapter relates how largely and liberally David, besides what he had before done, and his princes, offered towards defraying the expenses of building the temple, 1Ch 29:1-8 and the joy and thankfulness that he and his people expressed on that account, attended with prayers for Solomon, and offering sacrifices unto the Lord, 1Ch 29:9-21 and the chapter is closed, and so the book, with an account of the second unction of Solomon, the placing him on the throne, and the submission of all ranks of men unto him, and of the death of David, 1Ch 29:22-30.
