Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 22:7
(7) My son.—So some MSS., the Hebrew margin, and LXX., Vulg., Targ. rightly. The Hebrew text reads, “His son,” which is probably an oversight, due to “Solomon his son” in 1 Chronicles 22:6.As for me, it was in my mind.—Literally, I—it became with (near or in) my heart, i.e., it came into my mind, was my intention. The phrase is common in 2 Chronicles, but rare in the older books. (Comp. 1 Kings 8:17; 1 Kings 10:2; and also Joshua 14:7.) It recurs in 1 Chronicles 28:2 exactly as here.Unto the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 22:8
(8) But the word of the Lord came to me (upon me).—Literally, And a word of Jehovah became upon me. There is a partial correspondence between this “word of the Lord” and that which Nathan is represented as delivering (1 Chronicles 17:4-14). There, however, David is promised success in war, without any hint that warfare, as such, would unfit him for the sacred task which he longed to undertake. And in 1 Kings 5:3, Solomon implies that David’s wars left him no leisure for the work.Thou hast shed... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 22:9
(9) Shall be born.—Is about to be born (participle).Who shall be.—He (emphatic) shall become a man of rest, opposed to “a man of war,” such as was David (2 Samuel 17:8; 1 Chronicles 28:3). The phrase is further explained by what follows.And I will give him rest from all his enemies round about—i.e., the surrounding peoples, who are his natural foes, seeing that they were brought under the yoke by his father, will acquiesce in his dominion. The same words are used, in a somewhat different sense.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 22:11
(11) The Lord be with thee.—See 1 Chronicles 9:20. (1 Samuel 3:19; 2 Kings 18:7 : “The Lord was with him.”) The phrase is the origin of the familiar liturgical formula, “The Lord be with you.”And prosper thou, and build the house.—Not a command, but a wish, i.e., mayest thou prosper and build. The verb “prosper” (literally, carry through, make succeed) is used transitively in 2 Chronicles 7:11 and Genesis 24:40.As he hath said of (upon) thee.—This phrase (dibbèr ‘al) is specially used of Divine... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 1 Chronicles 22:1-19
Cathedrals Their Use and Abuse 1 Chronicles 22:5 This may be regarded as an utterance not so much prompted by any direct inspiration, as of the instinct of the religious nature that is in man. The most 'magnificent' buildings in the world are those that are or have been connected with religion pagodas, mosques, temples, minsters. I. The first Christians, those of whom we read in the Acts of the Apostles and in the Epistles of St. Paul with their surrounding difficulties of poverty or... read more

IV. PREPARATIONS FOR THE BUILDING OF THE TEMPLE 1. The Preparations and Charge to Solomon CHAPTER 22 1. The material (1 Chronicles 22:1-5 ) 2. The charge to Solomon (1 Chronicles 22:6-16 ) 3. The charge to the princes (1 Chronicles 22:17-19 ) God had accepted the sacrifice. The judgment had passed. Prayer had been answered and David, therefore, could truthfully say “this is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt-offering for Israel.” The place had therefore been... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Chronicles 22:8
22:8 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, {d} Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.(d) This declares how greatly God detests the shedding of blood, seeing David for this cause is prevented from building the temple of the Lord, though he enterprised no war, but by God’s command and against his enemies. read more
