David notes that there are many workers at Solomon's disposal—stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and craftsmen skilled in every kind of work in gold, silver, bronze, and iron—all capable and ready to work. The enumeration of available skilled workers demonstrates that David has assembled a workforce capable of executing the temple construction. The specification of various trades—stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and craftsmen in precious metals—indicates the diversity of skills required for temple construction. The phrase "all capable and ready to work" emphasizes that these workers are not merely available but are prepared and willing to undertake the project. This summary of human resources complements the earlier enumeration of material resources, establishing that Solomon will lack neither materials nor skilled labor.
