2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colors, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

I have prepared 1Ch 22:3-5,14-16

Avney shoham, which was, probably, not the precious stone or gem called onyx, but a marble called in Greek onychites, which Pliny mentions as a stone Caramania; for one would hardly think that gems of any kind were used externally in such a building as the temple. Antiquity gave both stones this name, because of their resemblance to the nail of the finger. Ge 2:12 Ex 28:17,20 39:6,13 Job 28:16 Isa 54:11,12 Re 21:18-21

glistering stones. Avney phuch seems to denote a kind of black marble, so called from its colour resembling stibium: so Vulgate quasi stibinos. marble stones. Avney shayish is rendered in the Targum avney marmoraiyah, `stones of marble,' which was remarkable for its bright white colour. Josephus says that the temple was built of large blocks of white marble, beautifully polished, so as to produce a most splendid appearance.

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.

I have set Ps 26:8 27:4 84:1,10 122:1-9

8 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

he died David at his death had every thing that his heart could wish: `he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour;' having gained more renown than any crowned head ever did. `David,' says Dr. Delaney, `was a true believer, a zealous adorer of God, teacher of His law and worship, and inspirer of His praise; a glorious example, a perpetual and inexhaustible fountain of true piety; a consummate and unrivalled hero; a skilful and successful captain; a steady patriot; a wise ruler; a faithful, generous, and magnanimous fried; and what is yet rarer, a no less generous and magnanimous enemy; a true penitent, a divine musician, a sublime poet, and an inspired prophet. By birth a peasant, by merit a prince! In youth a hero, in manhood a monarch, and in age a saint.'
