1 Chronicles 22:14

in my trouble Render with R.V. marg. in my low estate. LXX. κατὰ τὴν πτωχείαν μου.

an hundred thousand talentsof gold, and a thousand thousand talentsof silver This sum is incredibly large. In 1 Kings 10:14 it is told in illustration of the wealth of Solomon a wealthier king than David that he received in one year 666 talents of gold, but even at this rate David would have amassed only 26,640 talents in forty years. The tradition from which the Chronicler drew expresses itself here in round and exaggerated numbers.
