Psalms 50:10-12
for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

1 Chronicles 29 14-1 Chronicles 29 16
“ But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you.

1 Kings 6 20-1 Kings 6 35
The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold.So he overlaid the whole interior with gold. He also overlaid with gold the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.For the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim out of olive wood, each ten cubits high.One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing five cubits— ten cubits from wing tip to wing tip.The second cherub also measured ten cubits, for the two cherubim were identical in size and shape.The height of each cherub was ten cubits.He placed the cherubim inside the innermost room of the temple, with their wings spread out. The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.He overlaid the cherubim with gold.On the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers.He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors out of olive wood that were one fifth of the width of the sanctuary.And on the two olive- wood doors he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.In the same way, for the entrance to the main hall he made doorframes out of olive wood that were one fourth of the width of the hall.He also made two doors out of juniper wood, each having two leaves that turned in sockets.He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.
