DAVID'S ORDER FOR SOLOMON TO BUILD THE TEMPLE"And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever. Take heed now; for Jehovah hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it."Here, in the presence of all Israel, David... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 28:9

9, 10. And thou, Solomon my son—The royal speaker now turns to Solomon, and in a most impressive manner presses upon him the importance of sincere and practical piety. know thou—He did not mean head knowledge, for Solomon possessed that already, but that experimental acquaintance with God which is only to be obtained by loving and serving Him. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Chronicles 28:1-10

The public announcement of Solomon’s succession 28:1-10The earlier Old Testament historical books did not record this announcement. David directed his charge to remain faithful to Yahweh (1 Chronicles 28:7-9) to all the assembled leaders, not just Solomon, as is clear from the plural imperatives in the Hebrew text. David stressed obedience from the heart (1 Chronicles 28:9), not just external conformity to the ritual he had established. Like Solomon, the people also failed here (Isaiah... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Chronicles 28:1-30

3. The third account of God’s promises to David chs. 28-29A primary concern of the Chronicler, the evidence of which is his selection of material and emphases, was the promise of a King who would eventually come and rule over God’s people. God had fulfilled some of the Davidic Covenant promises in David’s lifetime. He fulfilled others in Solomon’s reign. Still others remained unfulfilled. For a third time the writer recorded the promises God gave to David. In the first case, God spoke to David... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 28:9

(9) And thou, Solomon my son.—The king now turns to his heir, urging a whole-hearted service to his father’s God (1 Chronicles 28:9-10).Know thou.—Regard thou, have care for (Psalms 1:6).The God of thy father might mean the God of Israel (comp. 1 Chronicles 29:10). But 1 Chronicles 28:20, where David speaks of “my God,” suggests the simpler meaning, God of David, here. (Comp. Psalms 18:2; Psalms 18:6; Psalms 18:22; also Genesis 31:29; Genesis 31:42.)With a perfect heart.—The word shâlçm means... read more

(10) Take heed now; for the Lord.—Or, See now that Jehovah hath chosen thee; consider this high commission, weigh it well and realise it thoroughly, then be strong, and act. (See 1 Chronicles 22:13; 1 Chronicles 22:16.)David now, in presence of the Assembly, hands over to his son the plans of the Sanctuary and its vessels, remarking, as he does so, that the whole is of Divine origin (1 Chronicles 28:19). read more

The Willing Mind 1 Chronicles 28:9 God does not enter man's heart till man himself opens the door. The turning-point with a man is when he surrenders freely his will to God. God's greatest power towards a man is seen in subduing his will. It is the strongest fortress that He takes. The service which He requires from His people is a willing service. I. A Willing Mind Triumphs over Difficulties. There are those who cast about for or make difficulties, the unwilling. They admit the force of your... read more
