1 Chronicles 29:2-9

2So I have provided for the house of my God, so far as I was able, the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, besides great quantities of oonyx and stones for setting, antimony, colored stones, all sorts of precious stones and marble. 3Moreover, in addition to all that I have provided for the holy house, I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, and because of my devotion to the house of my God I give it to the house of my God: 4 p3,000 talents
A  talent was about 75 pounds or 34 kilograms
of gold, of the gold of rOphir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver, for overlaying the walls of the house,
Septuagint; Hebrew houses
5and for all the work to be done by craftsmen, gold for the things of gold and silver for the things of silver. Who then will offer willingly, consecrating himself
Or ordaining himself; Hebrew filling his hand
today to the Lord?”

6Then uthe leaders of fathers’ houses made their freewill offerings, as did also the leaders of the tribes, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and vthe officers over the king’s work. 7They gave for the service of the house of God 5,000 talents and 10,000 wdarics
A  daric was a coin weighing about 1/4 ounce or 8.5 grams
of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze and 100,000 talents of iron.
8And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, in the care of yJehiel the Gershonite. 9Then the people rejoiced because they had given willingly, for with a zwhole heart they had offered freely to the Lord. David the king also rejoiced greatly.

Proverbs 27:23-27

23 aeKnow well the condition of your flocks,
and afgive attention to your herds,
24for agriches do not last forever;
and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 ahWhen the grass is gone and the new growth appears
and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
26 aithe lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field.
27 ajThere will be enough goatsmilk for your food,
for the food of your household
and maintenance for your girls.
