George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 22:2

Proselytes. This is the first time that the word occurs in the Vulgate. See Exodus xii. 45. It means "strangers," (Calmet) who were not allowed to live in the country, unless they would observe the natural law, and renounce idolatry. (Rabbins) --- These had embraced the Jewish religion. (Menochius) --- They were the remnants of the people of Chanaan, (3 Kings ix. 20,) and were treated as public slaves, which could not have been done, with justice or policy, with regard to those who might barely... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 22:1-5

1-5 On occasion of the terrible judgment inflicted on Israel for the sin of David, God pointed out the place where he would have the temple built; upon which, David was excited to make preparations for the great work. David must not build, but he would do all he could; he prepared abundantly before his death. What our hands find to do for God, and our souls, and those round us, let us do it with all our might, before our death; for after death there is no device nor working. And when the Lord... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Chronicles 22:1-5

Material and Money Gathered by David v. 1. Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, he selected the threshing-floor of Ornan as the site for the Temple, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel. The miraculous sign of the fire from heaven was to David an indication that the Lord wanted the national place of worship erected at this place. v. 2. And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel, partly descendants of the former... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 22:1-19

In the place where the mercy of God operated in staying the plague resulting from his sin, David chose to build the house of his God. The threshing floor of Oman the Jebusite was chosen as the site of the Temple. The days were rapidly passing, and the end of David's life was not far off. During these latter days his underlying desire became the supreme matter. In perfect acquiescence with the will of God, he gave up all thought of building, and set himself to preparing everything for another... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 22:2-19

1 Chronicles 22:2 to 1 Chronicles 29:30 . The whole of this section is the work of the Chronicler, though it is probable that he utilised some earlier sources in compiling it; a good deal of OT material is woven into it, but it has no parallel in earlier books, as in the case of the chapters so far considered. 1 Chronicles 22:2-Psalms : . David’ s Preparation for the Building of the Temple.— This is an imaginative elaboration of 2 Samuel 7:1-Leviticus :; 2 Samuel 7:13. 1 Chronicles 22:3 .... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 22:2

The strangers that were in the land of Israel; the same persons whom Solomon afterwards employed in the same work; of which see 1 Kings 5:15, compared with 1 Kings 9:20,1 Kings 9:21. He set masons to hew wrought stones; wherein he could not do much, being prevented by death; but Solomon carried on and perfected what David had begun. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Chronicles 22:1-19

CRITICAL NOTES.] The remaining chapters of this book are peculiar to the chronist. They narrate the arrangements of David for the building of the temple, his religious and political regulations, and his last will and death [Murphy]. This chapter, which consists entirely of new matter, helps to fill up the gap which had been left by the earlier authors between 2 Samuel 24:0 and 1 Kings 1:0 [Speak. Com.].1 Chronicles 22:1-5.—Preparations for the Temple. This, the spot on which the altar was... read more

Chapter 22Now as we get into chapter twenty-two,He then called for Solomon his son ( 1 Chronicles 22:6 ),He had gathered together the men of Israel and he called Solomon his son.and he charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel. And David said to Solomon [verse seven], My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house unto the name of the LORD my God: But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and you've made great wars: and thou shall not... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 22:1-19

1 Chronicles 22:14 . In my trouble, that is, in my state of weakness and wars, I have prepared a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver. David having been victorious over eight nations, must have collected an immense booty, and made his armies rich. We read of no princes, except Cræsus and Sardanapalus, who had any treasure like this. A talent of gold was three thousand shekels. But admitting that the shekel of the sanctuary was twice as heavy as the... read more
