1 Chronicles 29:12-13

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Chronicles 29:10-30

David's Thanksgiving v. 10. Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the congregation, in a spontaneous overflow of delight and gratitude at seeing the willing response of the people with regard to the favorite project of his life. And David said, Blessed be Thou, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever. It was a sincere cry: All glory be to God on high! v. 11. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty, the shining beauty of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 29:1-30

This is the account of the final stage in the greatest work of David's life, namely, his preparation for building the Temple. The king had a treasure of his own, over and above what he had gathered for the house of God. Because of his affection for the work of God, this treasure also he dedicated thereto. This is illuminative, showing the true method of giving. It is when "my affection" is set on the work of "my God" that "my treasure" is at His Disposal. And yet, again, it is when such is... read more

THANKS AND PRAISE‘Now therefore, our God, we thank Thee, and praise Thy glorious name.’ 1 Chronicles 29:13 Let us consider our text in the following way:— I. There is the argument for praise.—‘Now therefore.’ This brings us, of course, clearly back to the beginning of the prayer. David begins: ‘Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the Kingdom, O Lord, and Thou art... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:11-12

1 Chronicles 29:11-12 The conclusion of the Lord's Prayer is not to be considered altogether as an act of thanksgiving or an expression of God's praise and glory; it is rather intended to imply on our part the reasons for our assurance that God will grant our petitions. It is attributing to God the power to aid us, and our grounds for confidence that He will do so. I. To be allowed to give praise and glory to God is indeed a great privilege and blessing, and most becoming in us when God answers... read more

Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 29:1-30

1 Chronicles 29:2 . Marble. The LXX read Parian marble; that is, marble from the isle of Paros, or white marble. They knew this by documents of authority. 1 Chronicles 29:29 . The book of Samuel. See the arguments to the books of Samuel, and of Kings. Each prophet wrote a book; but it is very probable, as some affirm, that Nathan and Gad in succession completed the books of Samuel. The rabbins deeply lament the loss of their sacred book. REFLECTIONS. David having delivered to Solomon,... read more
