Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 29:17

10-19. Wherefore David blessed the Lord—This beautiful thanksgiving prayer was the effusion overflowing with gratitude and delight at seeing the warm and widespread interest that was now taken in forwarding the favorite project of his life. Its piety is displayed in the fervor of devotional feeling—in the ascription of all worldly wealth and greatness to God as the giver, in tracing the general readiness in contributing to the influence of His grace, in praying for the continuance of this happy... read more

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

David’s blessing 29:10-22"The climax of David’s reign, as portrayed by the Chronicler, has now been reached. All the preparations for building the temple have been completed, and Solomon, chosen by God as the one who shall bring the plans to fruition, is about to be proclaimed as king over all Israel. And at this point the Chronicler reveals his true heart: the proper response to such a situation is a prayer which breathes joyful faith and simple humility."

David’s Offerings, Thanksgiving, and Death1. The palace] The word in the original is more strictly applicable to the fortress which was attached to the Second Temple (Nehemiah 2:8) and afterwards called the tower of Antonia, but here and in 1 Chronicles 29:19 is employed of Solomon’s Temple.3.

(16) All this store.—Strictly, multitude; and so multitude of goods, riches (Psalms 37:16).Cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own.—From thine own hand it is, and thine is the whole. The whole verse is a clearer expression of the second half of 1 Chronicles 29:14. (Comp. Psalms 104:28.) read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 29:17

(17) Thou triest the heart.—Psalms 11:4; Psalms 7:9; Psalms 26:2.Hast pleasure in.—1 Chronicles 28:4, 1 Chronicles 29:3. (Comp. also 1 Chronicles 28:9.)Uprightness.—Or, sincerity (mêshârîm, Song of Solomon 1:4).In the uprightness (yôsher), integrity (Deuteronomy 9:5),, a synonym of mêshârîm. Both literally mean straightness: e.g., of a road (Proverbs 2:13; Proverbs 23:31). The connexion of ideas is this: Thou that lookest upon the heart knowest that my offering has been made without grudging... read more

Consecration (for St. Matthew's Day) 1 Chronicles 29:5 This old-time question comes to us with special force and fitness on the day on which we commemorate the life of St. Matthew. At the call of the Master 'Follow Me' he rose and left all and followed Christ; he consecrated his service, his life, himself unto the Lord. As a result of that call the current of his life branched out in two great directions the direction of devotion and the direction of service. It was nothing but intense... read more

THE LAST PRAYER OF DAVID1 Chronicles 29:10-19IN order to do justice to the chronicler’s method of presenting us with a number of very similar illustrations of the same principle, we have in the previous book grouped much of his material under a few leading subjects. There remains the general thread of the history, which is, of course, very much the same in Chronicles as in the book of Kings, and need not be dwelt on at any length. At the same time some brief survey is necessary for the sake of... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:1-30

DAVID ’S REIGN THE DOWNFALL OF SAUL (1 Chronicles 10:0 ) In reading this chapter with whose general contents we became familiar in 1 Samuel 31:0 , it is important to note the inspired comment at its close (1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ). DAVID’S HEROES (1 Chronicles 11-12) In the history of David in this book, the writer dwells chiefly on its prosperous side, passing over the rest as lightly as possible. His anointing at Hebron (1 Chronicles 11:1-3 ) reveals nothing of what we learned earlier of... read more
