1 Chronicles 29:6-9
6Then the leaders of the families, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly. 7Toward the service of God’s house they gave 5,000 talents1 and 10,000 darics of gold,2 10,000 talents of silver,3 18,000 talents of bronze,4 and 100,000 talents of iron.5 8Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, under the care of Jehiel6 the Gershonite. 9And the people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given to the LORD freely and wholeheartedly. And King David also rejoiced greatly.
