1 Chronicles 28 - 2 Chronicles 1

[wolfpurplemoon]

David has to let his son Solomon build God's house because he himself killed too many people.

Solomon makes silver and gold as plentiful as stones, which surely kills any value they have.

Having too much silver and gold

[(Anonymous)]

Yep...having too much silver and gold is a real bummer. Just like having too much money today sucks! Actually....I have honestly thought how I would like to have 'soo much money' that it seems worthless to me. But, in a way, you are right....cause after Solomon ends up having it all...he writes Ecclsiastes which basically says that this life will end up being meaningless if you don't find the true value in it which is realizing what is coming next. It's like playing that monopoly game and winning big and then realizing it's just a game. But yeah...I'll take so much silver and gold that its worthless. Please.

You've misunderstood me, we value silver and gold as highly as we do because of their relative rarity. If silver and gold became as plentiful as stones then their value would be the same as a stone and they'd therefore have no value. It's like using leaves as money, there would be plenty of it (it's growing on trees after all!) but then inflation would kick in and you'd have to buy stuff with a whole forest of leaves. But of course, silver and gold is prettier than leaves! :D
