David Prepares Materials for the Temple

1 Chronicles 22:1-5

Then David said, "This is the house of ADONAI, God; and this is the altar Isra'el is to use for burnt offerings."

David ordered that the foreigners in the land of Isra'el should be assembled, and he appointed stone-workers to shape stones for building the house of God.

David prepared a large store of iron from which to make nails and clamps for the gateway doors and, a quantity of bronze too great to weigh,

and cedar logs beyond numbering - because the Tzidonim and the people from Tzor brought cedar logs in abundance to David.

David said, "Shlomo my son is young and inexperienced, while the house to be built for ADONAI must be so magnificent and splendid that its fame and glory will be known in every country; so I will make preparations for him." Therefore David made extensive preparations before his death.
