I'm a Great Ol' Wealthy Man, I'm so Great and Wealthy

And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD: The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars; And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases. And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea: And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass. In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan. And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out. And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was, And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold, And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple. So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.-1 Kings 7:40-51***David was the  8th and last son born to Jesse, an Israelite from the tribe of Judah. Samuel the priest, prophet and judge was from the tribe of Levi. When the Lord God sent Samuel to anoint David to reign as king over the Israelites in the Promised Land, David was a shepherd and King Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, was the reigning ruler. At least twice, Saul did not obey the commands of the Lord God. Sometime after being anointed, David began serving as a musician and an armor-bearer for Saul. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Spirit of the Lord came upon David in power and the Spirit of the Lord left Saul. After David killed and beheaded Goliath the gigantic Philistine, David and Jonathan, Saul's son, made a covenant. The Israelite women sang of David higher than they sang of Saul, and Saul was angry. Saul wanted to kill David, and sent David on missions to get killed, and commanded others, including Jonathan, to kill David. Saul's daughter Michal was married to David and helped David escape from their home. While David lived on the run, David's nephews Abishai, Joab and Asahel, and at least 600 other men lived on the run with David, and they were continually victorious. After the Philistines killed Jonathan and his brothers Malchishua and Abinadab (Ishui?), and Saul's self-inflicted death on the same battlefield, men from the tribe of Judah anointed 30-year-old David, and David began to reign only over the tribe of Judah. Saul's son Ishbosheth (Eshbaal) reigned over the other Israelite tribes. Some time after Ishbosheth was murdered, the Israelites elders went to David, and David made a covenant with them. The elders anointed 37-year-old David, and David became the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites. David was able to acquire a vast amount of gold, silver and other riches from enemies, and David received valuable gifts throughout his reign. Before 70-year-old David died, the Israelites willingly gave offerings to be used for the construction of the temple of the Lord. David spoke to his son and successor Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, about the accumulated wealth and the purpose of the treasure. Moreover, David told Solomon the precise amount of silver and gold to be used in making the items for the temple, according to the instructions David received from the hand of the Lord and the Spirit of the Lord upon him. Over 900 years after Solomon became the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-11:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-9:31, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
