1 Chronicles 22:2-4

Living Bible

² David now drafted all the resident aliens in Israel to prepare blocks of squared stone for the Temple. ³ They also manufactured iron into the great quantity of nails needed for the doors in the gates and for the clamps; and they smelted so much bronze that it was too much to weigh. ⁴ The men of Tyre and Sidon brought great rafts of cedar logs to David.
