User blog comment:PitaKang/Funday Monday 1: How much did Solomon's Temple cost?/@comment-7576024-20130418235441

That is just truly insane. I have read the OT up to Psalms, and did not skip over Chronicles, but Ifailed to realize the immense quantity. I tended to skip over the units of measure and focus more on the deeper meaning.

I think the deeper meaning, now, is that Solomon had such a great faith in the LORD that he was willing to do anything for him.
