2Sa 8:6-7, SO THE LORD PRESERVED DAVID WHEREVER HE WENT. And David TOOK THE SHIELDS OF GOLD that had belonged to the servants of Hadadezer…
2Sa 8:10-11, then Toi (king of Hamath) sent Joram his son to King David, to greet him and bless him, …Joram brought with him articles of silver, articles of gold, and articles of bronze.
KING DAVID ALSO DEDICATED THESE TO THE LORD, ALONG WITH THE SILVER AND GOLD that he had dedicated FROM ALL THE NATIONS WHICH HE HAD SUBDUED

1Ch 22:14, Indeed I have taken much trouble to PREPARE FOR THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND TALENTS OF GOLD AND ONE MILLION TALENTS OF SILVER, AND BRONZE AND IRON BEYOND MEASURE, FOR IT IS SO ABUNDANT. I have prepared timber and stone also, and you may add to them.
We may not be called to build the house of the LORD yet we can help prepare for it or lift up the hands of the person who is called to do so! JESUS HIMSELF IS ALSO BUILDING A TEMPLE BEING HIMSELF THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE.
Eph 2:19-20, Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BEING THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE,
