历代志上 22:4

大衛心裡說:“我的兒子所羅門年幼識淺,要為耶和華建造的殿宇,必須宏偉輝煌,名聲榮耀傳遍各地,因此我必須為這殿預備材料。”於是大衛在未死以前,預備了很多材料。

Contextual Overview

1 David said, "The Temple of the Lord God and the altar for Israel's burnt offerings will be built here." 2 So David ordered all foreigners living in Israel to gather together. From that group David chose stonecutters to cut stones to be used in building the Temple of God. 3 David supplied a large amount of iron to be used for making nails and hinges for the gate doors. He also supplied more bronze than could be weighed, 4 and he supplied more cedar logs than could be counted. Much of the cedar had been brought to David by the people from Sidon and Tyre. 5 David said, "We should build a great Temple for the Lord , which will be famous everywhere for its greatness and beauty. But my son Solomon is young. He hasn't yet learned what he needs to know, so I will prepare for the building of it." So David got many of the materials ready before he died.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Also cedar trees in abundance,.... To be sawed into boards and planks for the cieling, wainscotting, and flooring of the temple, and other things:

for the Zidonians, and they of Tyre, brought much cedar wood to David; from Mount Lebanon, which was chiefly in their possession; and which they did either of themselves as a free gift and present to him, or at his request, for which he paid them; and this is another thing prefiguring the help of the Gentiles in building up the church of Christ in Gospel times.
