Context of 1 Chronicles 29:5

3I want very much to build a beautiful temple for my God. So I have added my own gold and silver to help to build it. I have added that to the other things that I have provided for God's holy temple. 4I have given 110 tons of the best gold and 260 tons of pure silver to cover the walls of the buildings. Workers with special skills can also use that gold and silver to make beautiful things. So now, who else will make a gift today to serve the Lord?’ 6Then the Israelite leaders and officers agreed to offer gifts to help the Lord's work. They included the leaders of clans and the leaders of Israel's tribes, the army officers who led 1,000 men and who led 100 men, and the officers with authority for the king's work. 7They gave these gifts for God's temple: 190 tons of gold. 10,000 gold coins. 380 tons of silver. 675 tons of bronze. 3,750 tons of iron.
