1 Chronicles 29:4-5
29:4 This includes 3,000 talents 1 of gold from Ophir and 7,000 talents of refined silver for overlaying the walls of the buildings,
29:5 for gold and silver items, and for all the work of the craftsmen. Who else wants to contribute to the Lord today?”
1 tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6. Using the “light” standard talent of 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg) as the standard for calculation, David had supplied 101 tons (91,800 kg) of gold and 235.5 tons (214,200 kg) of silver.
