Why did David say that he prepared all these materials?
'Rashi' (1): Do not be bewildered, that it is too hard to build the Beis ha'Mikdash. It is not such a toil, for everything is prepared!
What is the meaning of "ha'Zahav la'Zahav veha'Kesef la'Kesef"?
Radak: I prepared gold based on what must be of gold, and silver based on what must be of silver.
What are "Avnei Shoham u'Milu'im"?
'Rashi': These are like Avnei Shoham and Avnei Milu'im in the Mishkan 1 .
In the Mishkan, they were needed only for the Kohen Gadol's Efod and Choshen. He already served with them also before building the Beis ha'Mikdash! Perhaps they were needed to cover the top 10 Amos of Kodesh ha'Kodoshim - "va'Ytzaf Es ha'Bayis Even Yekarah" (Divrei ha'Yamim II, 3:6. - PF) Radak (Melachim I, 6:20) - those were like Avnei ha'Choshen.
What are "Avnei Fuch v'Rikmah"?
Radak: They are embroidered garments (Metzudas Tziyon - curtains) and Fuch stones, i.e. blue stones, or gems whose color is close to blue.
Why did they need "Avnei Fuch v'Rikmah v'Chol Even Yekarah"?
'Rashi': They were put in the gold walls and silver Kelim.
Radak (Melachim I, 6:20): "Va'Ytzaf Es ha'Bayis Even Yekarah" (Divrei ha'Yamim II, 3:6) - they covered the top 10 Amos of Kodesh ha'Kodoshim.
Why did they need "Avnei Shayish"?
'Rashi': They were for the pillars, tables and floor.
