1 Chronicles 29:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Moreover, because I have [a]delight in the house of my God, I have of mine own gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, beside all that I have prepared for the house of the Sanctuary,
4 Even [b]three thousand talents of gold of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of fined silver to overlay the walls of the houses.
5 The gold for the things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all the work by the hands of artificers: and who is [c]willing [d]to fill his hand today unto the Lord?
