The orthodox evangelist.

Solomons Temple was a magnificent building, for which (Solomons expense excepted) David prepared in silver and gold seven hundred millions, 1 Chron. 22.14. besides brass & iron without weight, about which were occupied seventeen thousand Labourers, thirteen thousand and three hundred Over-seers, Solomons and Hiram's Builders, 1 King. 5. together with Hiram, and the cunning Artificers of David and Solomon. I have sent unto thee a cunning man, &c. skilful to work in gold and in silver, in brass and in iron, in stone, and in timber, and purple, in blew, and in fine linen, and crimson, also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning-men, and with the cunning-men of my Lord David thy Father, 2 Chron. 2.14. All which help notwithstanding, the Temple was seven years in building, 1 King. 6.38. The house which I build is great, for the house which I am about to build is wonderful great, 2 Chron. 2.5.9.
