1 Chronicles 22:3-5

Modern English Version

³ David also provided large quantities of iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for the clamps as well as an abundance of bronze beyond measure, ⁴ and cedar logs without number, for the Sidonians and the Tyrians brought much cedar wood to David.

⁵ Now David said, “Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and glory throughout all the lands. Therefore I will make preparation for it now.” So David made extensive preparations before his death.
