1 Chronicles 29:6-14

6Then the leaders of the families, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of regiments and battalions, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave generously.

7They gave 375,186 pounds of gold, 750,000 pounds of silver, 135,000 pounds of bronze, and 7,500,000 pounds of iron for the work on God’s temple.

8Whoever happened to have precious stones gave them to Jehiel, Gershon’s descendant, for the treasury of the Lord’s temple.

9The people were overjoyed that the leaders gave so generously and wholeheartedly to the Lord. King David was also overjoyed, and

10he praised the Lord while the whole assembly watched. David said, “May you be praised, Lord God of Israel, our father forever and ever.

11Greatness, power, splendor, glory, and majesty are yours, Lord, because everything in heaven and on earth is yours. The kingdom is yours, Lord, and you are honored as head of all things.

12Riches and honor are in front of you. You rule everything. You hold power and strength in your hands, and you can make anyone great and strong.

13“Our God, we thank you and praise your wonderful name.

14But who am I and who are my people that you enable us to give so generously? Everything comes from you. We give you only what has come from your hands.
