⁶The family leaders, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the generals, the captains, and the officials responsible for the king’s work, were all ready and gave their valuable things. ⁷These are the things they gave for God’s house: 190 tons^[a] of gold; 375 tons^[b] of silver; 675 tons^[c] of bronze; and 3750 tons^[d] of iron.
