2 David ordered the foreigners living in Israel to gather. He appointed some of them to cut stones to build God's temple. 3 David prepared a large quantity of iron for nails and fittings on the doors of the gates. He also prepared so much bronze that it couldn't be weighed. 4 The men of Sidon and Tyre brought David so many cedar logs that the logs couldn't be counted. 5 David thought, |My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the temple that will be built for the LORD must be magnificent, large, famous, praised, and honored in all other countries. I'll prepare [the building materials] for him.| So David prepared many materials [for Solomon] before he died. 1 Chronicles 22:2-5, God's Word Translation.
