Barnes's 1-chronicles 29:4 Bible Commentary
The numbers here have also suffered to some extent from the carelessness of copyists (compare the 1 Chronicles 22:14 note). The amount of silver is not indeed improbable, since its value would not exceed three millions of our money; but as the gold would probably exceed in value thirty millions, we may suspect an error in the words "three thousand."
Wesley's 1-chronicles 29:4 Bible Commentary
29:4 Of Ophir - The best and purest gold. The walls - The walls of the temple with God, and of the rooms adjoining to it, with silverbeaten out into plates.
