So all the work that Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and all the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of God.

Study note
Setting — Solomon acts at the conclusion of temple construction, immediately before assembling Israel's elders to relocate the ark from the City of David.
The words — וַתִּשְׁלַם (vattishlam) means "and it was completed," while כָּל־ הַמְּלָאכָה (kol-ha-melakhah) translates to "all the work."
The thread — The completion of Solomon's temple work and the transfer of David's dedicated silver, gold, and furnishings are recorded in 1 Kings 7:51, while David's original listing of those metals appears in 2 Samuel 8:11 and 1 Chronicles 22:14.
Why it lands — The text states that the construction project reached its physical conclusion and that David's prior dedications were moved into the temple treasuries, establishing the chronological sequence before the covenant rituals.
