1 Chronicles 18:7-11
7And David took the shields of gold that were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem. 8And from aTibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze. bWith it Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars and the vessels of bronze.9When cTou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the whole army of Hadadezer, king dof Zobah, 10he sent his son eHadoram to King David, to ask about his health and to bless him because he had fought against fHadadezer and defeated him; for gHadadezer had often been at war with Tou. And he sent all sorts of articles of gold, of silver, and of bronze. 11These also King David dedicated to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had carried off from all the nations, from hEdom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.

David Prepares for Temple Building
2David commanded to gather together the iresident aliens who were in the land of Israel, and he jset stonecutters to prepare dressed stones for building the house of God. 3David also provided great quantities of iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for clamps, kas well as bronze in quantities beyond weighing, 4and cedar timbers without number, lfor the Sidonians and Tyrians brought great quantities of cedar to David. 5For David said, m“Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and glory throughout all lands. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David provided materials in great quantity before his death.1 Chronicles 22:14
