Bible References

All the silver

I weighed out to them the silver, the gold, and the articles—the contribution for the house of our God that the king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the Israelites who were present had offered.

Offering

Let every survivor, wherever he lives, be assisted by the men of that region with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, along with a freewill offering for the house of God in Jerusalem.”

Then the leaders of the households, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.

For if the eagerness is there, it is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.

Each person should do as he has decided in his heart—not reluctantly or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.
