1 Chronicles 22:3-5 And iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings, did David prepare; and copper in abundance, which could not be weighed;

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings, did David prepare; and copper in abundance, which could not be weighed; ⁴ Also cedar-trees which could not be counted; for the Zidonians and the Tyrians had brought cedar-trees in abundance to David. ⁵ And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built in honor of the Lord must be exceedingly great, for fame and for glory throughout all the countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation before his death.
