1 Chronicles 22:3-5

New International Version

³ He provided a large amount of iron to make nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, and more bronze than could be weighed.^{(A) 4} He also provided more cedar logs^(B) than could be counted, for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought large numbers of them to David.

⁵ David said, “My son Solomon is young^(C) and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the Lord should be of great magnificence and fame and splendor^(D) in the sight of all the nations. Therefore I will make preparations for it.” So David made extensive preparations before his death.
