Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 28:6-7

1 Chronicles 28:6-7. He shall build my house, &c. So was he a figure of him that was to come, who is both the founder and the foundation of the gospel temple. I will establish his kingdom for ever This was to have its accomplishment in the kingdom of the Messiah which shall continue in his hands through all the ages of time, (Isaiah 9:7; Luke 1:33,) and shall then be delivered up to God, even the Father, with whom, however, he shall continue to reign to all eternity. If he be... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:1-21

Solomon presented to the people (28:1-29:30)David had been forced to appoint Solomon as king hastily when he learnt that another son, Adonijah, was plotting to seize the throne for himself (see notes on 1 Kings 1:5-53). That very unceremonious anointing of Solomon was followed soon after by a second anointing, this time with full religious and regal ceremony (see 29:22). This second occasion is the one that the Chronicler refers to here. David presented Solomon to the people as the one who, by... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 28:3

3. thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood—The church or spiritual state of the world, of which the temple at Jerusalem was to be a type, would be presided over by One who was to be pre-eminently the Prince of Peace, and therefore would be represented not so fitly by David, whose mission had been a preparatory one of battle and conquest, as by his son, who should reign in unbroken peace. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 28:4

4, 5. he hath chosen Solomon—The spirit of David's statement is this:—It was not my ambition, my valor, or my merit that led to the enthronement of myself and family; it was the grace of God which chose the tribe, the family, the person—myself in the first instance, and now Solomon, to whom, as the Lord's anointed, you are all bound to submit. Like that of Christ, of whom he was a type, the appointment of Solomon to the kingdom above all his brethren was frequently pre-intimated (1 Chronicles... 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
