Omitting the brass and iron, and precious stones, which, though specified partly (1Ch 29:7), are represented in other portions as "without weight" (1Ch 22:3, 14), we shall give in this table only the amount of gold and silver; and taking the talent of gold as worth £5475 (the talent being 125 pounds in weight), the value of the gold will be about 73s. per ounce.
This site's exposition
all this abundance that we have provided
on 1 Chronicles 29:16-19
David says that the abundance gathered for the temple is “from Your hand”, as verse 14 confessed. Verse 17 names the ground of giving, “You test the heart and delight in uprightness”. The prayer closes by asking for Solomon “a whole heart”, what verse 9 found in the people.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
"We have it from thee as a free gift, and therefore are bound to use it for thee; and what we present to thee is but rent or interest from thy own." "In like manner" (says bishop Patrick) "we ought to acknowledge God in all spiritual things, referring every good thought, good purpose, good work, to his grace, from whom we receive it." Let him that glories therefore glory in the Lord.

Wherefore David blessed the Lord--This beautiful thanksgiving prayer was the effusion overflowing with gratitude and delight at seeing the warm and widespread interest that was now taken in forwarding the favorite project of his life.
