16in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, and the Lord be with you.” 17Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 17-19Verses 17-19 Whatever is done towards rendering the word of God generally known and attended to, is like bringing a stone, or an ingot of gold, towards erecting the temple.
