1 Chronicles 22:4

²And David gave orders to gather all the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he appointed stone hewers to hew polished stones to build the house to God.

³And David prepared much iron for the nails of the doors and the gates; the hinges also and brass in abundance, there was no weighing of it.

— 1 Chronicles 22:4 —

⁵And David said, My son Solomon is a tender child, and the house for me to build to the Lord is for superior magnificence for a name and for a glory through all the earth: I will make preparation for it. And David prepared abundantly before his death.

⁶And he called Solomon his son, and commanded him to build the house for the Lord God of Israel.
