So David gave orders to gather the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, and he set stonecutters to hew out stones to build the house of God. David prepared large quantities of iron to make the nails for the doors of the gates and for the clamps, and more bronze than could be weighed; and timbers of cedar logs beyond number, for the Sidonians and Tyrians brought large quantities of cedar timber to David. — 1 Chronicles 22:2 – 4 (NASB) - Although God had told David that it would be his son, Solomon, who would build the temple, David still gathered the materials that would be needed. He looked beyond their borders, to foreign neighbours, in order to purchase what was needed. Like David, we shouldnt cut ourselves off from non-believers. But as we inter-act with them, we can shine the light of the gospel into their lives.
