1 Chronicles 22:2-4
v. 2-4: David gathered materials for the temple (1 Chronicles 22:2-4 a). He collected cedar wood from Tyre and Sidon, stones, iron, and brass. The daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift (Psalm 45:12 b). David also gathered foreign workers living in Israel to help with the building. He did not make Israelites do hard labor because they had been freed from slavery in Egypt. These foreign workers were converts to the Jewish faith, but they did not have the same status as Israelites. – –
