1 Chronicles 22:16 — Meaning and Application

Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto. {trouble: or, poverty}

Moreover {there are} workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work. {workers...: that is, masons and carpenters}

Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, {there is} no number. Arise {therefore}, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.

David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, {saying},

{Is} not the LORD your God with you? and hath he {not} given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.
