7 the following for the work on the Temple: more than 170 tonnes of gold, over 340 tonnes of silver, almost 620 tonnes of bronze, and more than 3,400 tonnes of iron.
8 Those who had precious stones gave them to the temple treasury, which was administered by Jehiel of the Levite clan of Gershon.
9 The people had given willingly to the Lord, and they were happy that so much had been given. King David also was extremely happy.
10 There in front of the whole assembly King David praised the Lord. He said, “Lord God of our ancestor Jacob, may you be praised for ever and ever!
11 You are great and powerful, glorious, splendid, and majestic. Everything in heaven and earth is yours, and you are king, supreme ruler over all.
12 All riches and wealth come from you; you rule everything by your strength and power; and you are able to make anyone great and strong.
13 Now, our God, we give you thanks, and we praise your glorious name.
