¹⁴ “Solomon, I have worked hard making plans for building the Lord’s Temple. I have given 3750 tons^[a] of gold and about 37,500 tons^[b] of silver. I have given so much bronze and iron that it cannot be weighed. And I have given wood and stone. Solomon, you can add to them. ¹⁵ You have many stonecutters and carpenters. You have men skilled in every kind of work. ¹⁶ They are skilled in working with gold, silver, bronze, and iron. You have more skilled workers than can be counted. Now begin the work. And may the Lord be with you.”
