1 Chronicles 22:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Then David said, “Here shall be the house of the LORD God, as well as the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

2 So David gave orders to gather the foreigners in the land of Israel, from whom he appointed stonecutters to prepare finished stones for building the house of God.

3 David provided a large quantity of iron to make the nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, together with more bronze than could be weighed

4 and more cedar logs than could be counted; for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought a large quantity of cedar logs to David.
