1 Chronicles 22:3-5

21st Century King James Version

³ And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates and for the joinings, and brass in abundance beyond measure,

⁴ also cedar trees in abundance; for the Sidonians and those of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

⁵ And David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore now make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.
