1 Chronicles 29:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 I have given gold for gold items and silver for silver items for all the work by the craftsmen. Who else is willing to dedicate himself to the Lord today?
6 The officials of fathers’ houses, the officials of the tribes of Israel, and the officers of the thousands and of the hundreds made their offerings to the officials who were in charge of the king’s work. 7 They gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics[a] of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.

- 1 Chronicles 29:7 A daric is a unit of weight that appears in post-exilic books. It is apparently a Persian term, equal to the Greek drachma, perhaps a third of an ounce. It is also the name for the standard gold coin of the Persian Empire.
