Context of 1 Chronicles 22:16

14“Despite my troubles I’ve made preparations for the Lord’s temple. There are 7,500,000 pounds of gold, 75,000,000 pounds of silver, and so much bronze and iron that it can’t be weighed. I’ve also prepared wood and stones, and you may add to them. 15You have many kinds of workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and men skilled in every kind of work. The gold, silver, bronze, and iron are more than can be counted. So get to work! May the Lord be with you.” 17David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon. 18⌞David said,⌟ “Isn’t the Lord your God with you? Hasn’t he given you peace with all your neighbors? He put the people who live in this country under my power, and the country has been conquered by the Lord and his people.
