Context of 1 Chronicles 22:3
1Then David said, This is the house of Jehovah God, and this is the altar of burnt-offering for Israel. 2And David commanded to gather together the sojourners that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God. And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and brass in abundance without weight; 4and cedar-trees without number: for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-trees in abundance to David. 5And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for Jehovah must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
