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

1 Crónicas 29:7 In-Context

5 de oro para las cosas de oro, y de plata para las cosas de plata, es decir, para toda la obra hecha por los artesanos. ¿Quién, pues, está dispuesto a dar su ofrenda hoy al SEÑOR?
6 Entonces los jefes de las casas paternas, y los jefes de las tribus de Israel, y los jefes de millares y de centenares, con los supervisores sobre la obra del rey, ofrecieron voluntariamente sus donativos;
7 y para el servicio de la casa de Dios dieron cinco mil talentos y diez mil monedas de oro, diez mil talentos de plata, dieciocho mil talentos de bronce y cien mil talentos de hierro.
8 Y todos los que tenían piedras preciosas las dieron al tesoro de la casa del SEÑOR a cargo de Jehiel gersonita.
9 Entonces el pueblo se alegró porque habían contribuido voluntariamente, porque de todo corazón hicieron su ofrenda al SEÑOR; y también el rey David se alegró en gran manera.
