1 Chronicles 29:6-14

6The leaders of the families, the leaders of the Israelite tribes, the commanders of units of a thousand and a hundred, and the supervisors of the king’s work contributed willingly.

7They donated for the service of God’s temple 5,000 talents and ten thousand darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.

8All who possessed precious stones donated them to the treasury of the Lord’s temple, which was under the supervision of Jehiel the Gershonite.

9The people were delighted with their donations, for they contributed to the Lord with a willing attitude; King David was also very happy.

10David praised the Lord before the entire assembly: “O Lord God of our father Israel, you deserve praise forevermore!

11O Lord, you are great, mighty, majestic, magnificent, glorious, and sovereign over all the sky and earth! You have dominion and exalt yourself as the ruler of all.

12You are the source of wealth and honor; you rule over all. You possess strength and might to magnify and give strength to all.

13Now, our God, we give thanks to you and praise your majestic name!

14“But who am I and who are my people, that we should be in a position to contribute this much? Indeed, everything comes from you, and we have simply given back to you what is yours.
