1 Chronicles 29:7

And gave for the service of the house of God ,.... For building and adorning it, and providing proper utensils for it:

of gold five thousand talents ; which, according to Scheuchzer F12 Ut supra. (Physica Sacra, vol. 4. p. 631.) , came to 61,100,000 ducats of gold: and these, with "the 10,000 drachms"; make of our money, according to Brerewood F13 Ut supra. (Physica Sacra, vol. 4. p. 631.) , 22,507,500 pounds; some reckon a drachm at two ducats and a half, and somewhat more F14 Eisenschmidius apud Scheuchzer. ib. p. 635. :

and of silver ten thousand talents ; which, according to the former writer, amounted to 450,000,000 imperials, or rix dollars; and, according to the latter, they made of our money 3,750,000 pounds:

and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron ; the weight of each of which were so much.
