14. “Despite my troubles I’ve made preparations for the Lord’s temple. There are 7,500,000 pounds of gold, 75,000,000 pounds of silver, and so much bronze and iron that it can’t be weighed. I’ve also prepared wood and stones, and you may add to them.
15. You have many kinds of workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and men skilled in every kind of work.
16. The gold, silver, bronze, and iron are more than can be counted. So get to work! May the Lord be with you.”
17. David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon.
