So all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of the LORD was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and the furnishings. He put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

King David also dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold that he had brought from all [these] nations -- from Edom, from Moab, from the people of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

"Indeed I have taken much trouble to prepare for the house of the LORD one hundred thousand talents of gold and one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond measure, for it is so abundant. I have prepared timber and stone also, and you may add to them.

"Of gold and silver and bronze and iron [there is] no limit. Arise and begin working, and the LORD be with you."

This Shelomith and his brethren [were] over all the treasuries of the dedicated things which King David and the heads of fathers' [houses,] the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the army, had dedicated.

And all that Samuel the seer, Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated, every dedicated [thing,] was under the hand of Shelomith and his brethren.

"Now for the house of my God I have prepared with all my might: gold for [things to be made of] gold, silver for [things of] silver, bronze for [things of] bronze, iron for [things of] iron, wood for [things of] wood, onyx stones, [stones] to be set, glistening stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble slabs in abundance.

"Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; For I will make your horn iron, And I will make your hooves bronze; You shall beat in pieces many peoples; I will consecrate their gain to the LORD, And their substance to the Lord of the whole earth."
