1 Chronicles 21:14

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

1 Chronicles 21:14. Now behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold,

Whatever sum that may have been, it could hardly have been a Babylonian talent, because that would have made him to have laid up one thousand millions sterling.

1 Chronicles 21:14. And a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

A capital text for a collection, whenever there has been a good sum given already, "Thou mayest add thereto." Next Sunday week we collect for the hospitals. Thou mayest add to the gold if thou canst; thou mayest add to the silver if thou canst; thou mayest add to the copper if thou canst not add to the silver or the gold.
