1 Chronicles 22:2-4

The Voice

² Having purchased a location for the new temple, David began preparations for its construction. He gathered the foreigners who were in Israel so they could help build the temple. He appointed stonecutters for the house of God; ³ and he prepared large quantities of iron (to cast the nails for the gate doors and the hinges), immeasurable amounts of bronze, ⁴ and enormous quantities of cedar logs (brought to David by the Sidonians and Tyrians).
