2 Chronicles 2:10

I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut timber, twenty thousand cors of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine and twenty thousand baths of olive oil.
Solomon wants the best material for building his Temple, and he is willing to pay for it. He goes to the best producer and he offers to pay an amount that reflects his own opulence. We see in our day that a very high price is one of the selling points for some commodities. The king is showing off. And Solomon is certainly not desiring in this case to come across as one who drives a hard bargain. Opulent generosity is appropriate. God sending His only begotten Son into the world was opulent generosity. It is appropriate for the Temple to be glorious. It is pointing forward to glory of our Lord Jesus.
