King David’s view of God

1 Then King David said to the whole assembly:

“My son Solomon, the one whom God has

chosen, is young and inexperienced.

The task is great, because this palatial

structure is not for man but for

the Lord God.

1 Chronicles 29:1-5

2 With all my resources I have provided for

the temple of my God—gold for the gold

work, silver for the silver, bronze for the

bronze, iron for the iron and wood for the

wood, as well as onyx for the settings,

turquoise, stones of various colors,

and all kinds of fine stone and marble—

all of these in large quantities.

1 Chronicles 29:1-5

3 Besides, in my devotion to the temple

of my God I now give my personal

treasures of gold and silver for the

temple of my God, over and above

everything I have provided

for this holy temple:

1 Chronicles 29:1-5

4 three thousand talents of gold (gold of Ophir)

and seven thousand talents of refined

silver, for the overlaying of the walls

of the buildings,

1 Chronicles 29:1-5

5 for the gold work and the silver work,

and for all the work to be done by the

craftsmen. Now, who is willing to

consecrate themselves to the Lord today?”

shaken together and running over,

will be poured into your lap.

For with the measure you use,

it will be measured to you.

for it is he who gives you the ability

to produce wealth, and so confirms

his covenant, which he swore to

your ancestors, as it is today.
