¹⁸ David’s Altar
The angel of the LORD told Gad to tell David that David was to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor that belonged to Ornan the Jebusite.

¹ David said, “This is where the LORD God’s Temple will be, along with the altar of burnt offerings for Israel.”

⁵ and for all the work to be undertaken by skilled artists, gold for what is to be made of gold, and silver for what is to be made of silver. Who then, will be dedicating the productivity of his own work to the LORD today?”
⁶ So the leaders of the ancestral households presented their voluntary offerings, as did the leaders of the tribes, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s business. ⁷ They presented 5,000 gold talents and 10,000 gold darics for the work of the Temple of God, 10,000 silver talents, 18,000 bronze talents, and 100,000 iron talents. ⁸ Whoever owned precious stones gave them to the treasury of the Temple of the LORD, in care of Jehiel the Gershonite. ⁹ Then the people rejoiced because they had given voluntarily, since with a devoted heart they had freely given to the LORD.
David’s Praise to GodKing David also rejoiced greatly. ¹⁰ Then David blessed the LORD in the presence of the entire assembly. David said, How blessed you are, LORD, the God of our ancestor Israel, from eternity to eternity! ¹¹ To you, LORD, belongs the greatness, and the valor, and the splendor, and the endurance, and the majesty because all that is in heaven and on earth is yours. To you belongs the kingdom, LORD, and you are exalted as head over all. ¹² Both wealth and honor proceed from you, and you are ruling over them all. You control power— you control who is made great, and how everyone becomes strong. ¹³ And so, our God, we are giving you thanks, and we are praising your wonderful name! ¹⁴ But who am I, and who are my people, that we make such voluntary offerings as these? For all things come from you, and from your own hand we are giving to you. ¹⁵ For we are aliens and vagrants in your presence, as were all of our ancestors. Our days on the earth pass away like shadows, and we have no hope. ¹⁶ LORD our God, all of this abundance that we have given for building a temple for your great name was provided by you and all of it belongs to you. ¹⁷ And I know, God, that it is you who searches the heart and you who finds pleasure in righteousness. With a righteous heart I have freely given all these things, and now I have seen all of these people of yours giving freely and joyfully to you!

¹ Temple Construction
So Solomon began construction of the LORD’s Temple in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah where the LORD had appeared to his father David, that is, where David had prepared Ornan the Jebusite’s threshing floor.

³ Even though they feared the people in neighboring regions, they rebuilt the altar where it had stood before. They offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD—burnt offerings both in the morning and in the evening.

⁷⁰ Gifts for the Temple
Some of the heads of the families contributed to the work. The governor contributed 1,000 gold drachmas to the treasury, along with 50 basins, and 530 priestly garments. ⁷¹ Some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury 20,000 gold drachmas and 2,200 silver units for the work. ⁷² The rest of the people gave 20,000 gold drachmas, 2,000 silver units, and 67 priestly garments.
⁷³ The priests, descendants of Levi, gatekeepers, singers, some of the people, the Temple Servants, and all the Israelis settled in their cities.
Ezra Reads the Law
Seven months later, the Israelis had settled in their own cities.

³ Your soldiers are willing volunteers on your day of battle; in majestic holiness, from the womb, from the dawn, the dew of your youth belongs to you.

¹ The Widow’s Offering
Now Jesus looked up and saw rich people dropping their gifts into the offering box. ² Then he saw a destitute widow drop in two small copper coins. ³ He said, “I tell you with certainty, this destitute widow has dropped in more than all of them, ⁴ because all the others contributed to the offering out of their surplus, but she, in her poverty, dropped in everything she had to live on.”

³ I can testify that by their own free will they have given to the utmost of their ability, yes, even beyond their ability.

¹² For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.

⁷ Each of you must give what you have decided in your heart, not with regret or under compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver.
