1 Chronicles 22:3-5 ▼

3 David also laid up large stores of iron to make nails for the doors of the gates, and clamps, together with so much bronze that it could not be weighed,

4 and cedar trees without number. The Sidonians and Tyrians brought great stores of cedar logs to David.

5 David said: “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced; but the house that is to be built for the LORD must be made so magnificent that it will be renowned and glorious in all lands. Therefore I will make preparations for it.” Thus before his death David laid up materials in abundance.
