1Ch 22:14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14, 16; 18:11 : David describes the enormous preparations he has made for the temple—gold, silver, brass, iron, and other treasures. He does not mention this to boast but to encourage Solomon. The amount is very large, possibly exceeding what can be counted (1 Chronicles 22:14, 16 ). David also includes the things dedicated to God from his victories (1 Chronicles 18:11 ). He wants Solomon to know there is a strong foundation for the work. David also urges Solomon not to rely completely on what has already been prepared but to add to it and keep improving. Those who build on the work of others still have more to do, and Solomon must carry the project forward with diligence.
