- Then King David said to the entire assembly, "My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is still young and inexperienced and the work is great; for the temple is not for man, but for the LORD God.
- "Now with all my ability I have provided for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, onyx stones and inlaid stones, stones of antimony and stones of various colors, and all kinds of precious stones and alabaster in abundance.
- "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,
- namely, 3,000 talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings;
- 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?"

- 大衛王對會眾說、我兒子所羅門是 神特選的、還年幼嬌嫩、這工程甚大.因這殿不是為人、乃是為耶和華 神建造的。
- 我為我 神的殿已經盡力、豫備金子作金器、銀子作銀器、銅作銅器、鐵作鐵器、木作木器、還有紅瑪瑙可鑲嵌的寶石、彩石和一切的寶石、並許多漢白玉。
- 且因我心中愛慕我 神的殿、就在豫備建造聖殿的材料之外、又將我自己積蓄的金銀獻上、建造我 神的殿.
- 就是俄斐金三千他連得、精鍊的銀子七千他連得、以貼殿牆。
- 金子作金器、銀子作銀器、並藉匠人的手製造一切。今日有誰樂意將自己獻給耶和華呢。
