1 Chronicles 29:3

_MOREOVER, BECAUSE I HAVE SET MY AFFECTION TO THE HOUSE OF MY GOD, I HAVE OF MINE OWN PROPER GOOD, OF GOLD AND SILVER, WHICH I HAVE GIVEN TO THE HOUSE OF MY GOD, OVER AND ABOVE ALL THAT I HAVE PREPARED FOR THE HOLY HOUSE,_ Moreover ... I have of mine own proper good, х_ CªGULAAH_ (H5459)]. Its primary meaning is a collection of valuables-such as precious metals or gems; and so here "proper good" is explained as consisting of gold and silver (cf. Ecclesiastes 2:8). In addition to the immense amount of gold and silver treasure which David had already bequeathed for various uses in the service of the temple, he now made an additional contribution destined to a specific purpose-that of overlaying the walls of the house. This voluntary gift was from the private fortune of the royal donor, and had been selected with the grea

On the faith of them he grounds with tenfold effect his appeal to people and princes to join heartily in the work. The verses (6-9)also contain the statement of the hearty practical response which was made by the "chiefs of the fathers and princes of the tribes," and other varieties of givers, and of the consequent general joy. 1 CHRONICLES 29:1

MOREOVER, BECAUSE I HAVE SET MY AFFECTION TO THE HOUSE OF MY GOD,.... Had a good will to it, and was earnestly desirous of having it built, and that in a grand manner: I HAVE OF MY OWN PROPER GOOD; which he had treasured up for his own use: OF GOLD AND SILVER, [EVEN THAT] I HAVE GIVEN TO THE HOUSE OF MY GOD; to build or ornament it, or make vessels for it: OVER AND ABOVE ALL THAT I HAVE PREPARED FOR THE HOLY HOUSE; for the building of the temple, which is made mention of in the preceding chapter....
