Then the heads of the clans, the officials of the tribes, the commanders of the army, and the administrators of the royal property volunteered to give. They gave the following for the work on the Temple: one hundred and ninety tons of gold, three hundred and eighty tons of silver, six hundred and seventy five tons of bronze, and three thousand seven hundred and fifty tons of iron. Those who had precious stones gave them to the Temple treasury, which was administered by Jehiel of the Levite clan of Gershon. read more.
