3 David (beloved) provided a large quantity of iron to make the nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, together with more bronze than could be weighed

4 and more cedar logs than could be counted; for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought a large quantity of cedar logs to David (beloved).

5 And David (beloved) said, “My son Solomon (peace) is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD {YHWH} must be exceedingly magnificent—famous and glorious throughout all lands. Therefore I must make preparations for it.” So David made lavish preparations before his death.
