⁵¹ Thus all the work that King Solomon did on the house of the Lord was finished. And Solomon brought in ^(A)the things that David his father had dedicated, the silver, the gold, and the vessels, and stored them in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.

² So I have provided for the house of my God, so far as I was able, the gold for the things of gold, 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, besides great quantities of ^(A)onyx and stones for setting, antimony, colored stones, all sorts of precious stones and marble.

²⁶ This Shelomoth and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries of the dedicated gifts that David the king and the heads of the fathers' houses and the officers of the thousands and the hundreds and the commanders of the army ^(A)had dedicated. ²⁷ From spoil won in battles they dedicated gifts for the maintenance of the house of the Lord. ²⁸ Also all that ^(B)Samuel the seer and Saul the son of Kish and Abner the son of Ner and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated—all dedicated gifts were in the care of ^(C)Shelomoth^[a] and his brothers.

¹⁴ With great pains I have provided for the house of the Lord ^(A)100,000 talents^[a] of gold, a million talents of silver, and ^(B)bronze and iron beyond weighing, for there is so much of it; timber and stone, too, I have provided. To these you must add. ¹⁵ You have an abundance of workmen: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and all kinds of craftsmen without number, skilled in working ¹⁶ gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Arise and work! ^(C)The Lord be with you!”

¹¹ These also King David dedicated to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had carried off from all the nations, from ^(A)Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.
