16. all this store that we haveprepared<\/B>It may be useful to exhibit a tabular view of thetreasure laid up and contributions stated by the historian as alreadymade towards the erection of the proposed temple. Omitting the brassand iron, and precious stones, which, though specified partly (1Ch29:7<\/span>), are represented in other portions as “without weight”(1Ch 22:3<\/span>; 1Ch 22:14<\/span>),we shall give in this table only the amount of gold and silver; andtaking the talent of gold as worth 5475 (the talent being 125pounds in weight), the value of the gold will be about 73s.<\/I>per ounce. The talent of silver is given at 342 3s.<\/I> 9d.<\/I>,or 4s.<\/I> 4d.<\/I> per ounce. The total amount of thecontributions will be: <\/P> Sum accumulated, and inpublic treasury (1Ch 22:14<\/span>): Gold 547,500,000 Silver 342,187,500 Contributedby David from his private resources [1Ch29:4<\/span>]: Gold 16,425,000 Silver 2,395,312 Contributed by the assembled rulers [1Ch29:7<\/span>]: Gold 28,000,000 Silver 3,421,875 Agrand total of approximately 939,929,687 <\/P> <\/P> Though it has been the common practiceof Eastern monarchs to hoard vast sums for the accomplishment of anycontemplated project, this amount so far exceeds not only everyOriental collection on record, but even the bounds of probability,that it is very generally allowed that either there is a corruptionof the text in 1Ch 22:14<\/span>, orthat the reckoning of the historian was by the Babylonian, which wasonly a half, or the Syrian, which was only a fifth part, of theHebrew talent. This would bring the Scripture account more intoaccordance with the statements of JOSEPHUS,as well as within the range of credibility.<\/P><\/p>\n O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared<\/strong>,….
