Context of 1 Chronicles 29:8

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. People who had valuable stones gave them for the Lord's house. Jehiel from Gershon's clan stored them in a safe place. 9The people were very happy that their leaders gave these things. They were pleased to give to help the Lord's work. King David was also very happy. 10David praised the Lord in front of all the people who had met together. He said, ‘We praise you Lord, the God of our ancestor, Israel. You deserve that people praise you for ever!
