The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 28:11

"Handfuls of Purpose," For All Gleaners "Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern..." 1 Chronicles 28:11 . David was determined to do as much as possible towards building the temple. The temple itself he was forbidden to rear; and yet, whilst obeying the letter of the word, he zealously did his utmost to facilitate the progress of his son. Some men can only give outlines, hints, suggestions, patterns. These men are of great consequence and value in the education of the human mind. A... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:11-12

There is somewhat very interesting in this account. David is expressly said to have received this model or pattern, from the Spirit. It doth not appear at what time or period of his life this was; yet the fact itself cannot be questioned. Moses had a pattern of the Tabernacle, we are told, given to him, when in the Mount with God, accompanied afterwards with a strict charge to make all things according to it. Hebrews 8:5 . But when David received it; or how he received it, whether by open... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:11

Description, impressed by God on David's imagination; (Cajetan) or rather planned out by the hand of God, (ver. 19.; Salien) as the law was written. (Haydock) --- The Jews pretend that this plan was delivered to Moses, and handed down by Josue, &c., to David. (Estius) --- But why might not David receive it immediately from heaven? (Calmet) --- Treasures. Literally, "cellars." (Haydock) --- The original term, Ganzac, is not Hebrew. We find Ganas (Esther iii. 9.) to signify a treasure,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 28:11-21

11-21 The temple must be a sacred thing, and a type of Christ; it must be framed by Divine teaching. Christ is the true temple, the church is the gospel temple, and heaven the everlasting temple; all are framed according to the Divine counsels, and the plan laid in the Divine wisdom, ordained before the world, for God's glory and our good. David gave this pattern to Solomon, that he might go by rule. Materials were provided for the most costly utensils of the temple. Directions were given which... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Chronicles 28:9-21

Special Encouragement Addressed to Solomon v. 9. And thou, Solomon, my son, know thou the God of thy father, who had so often helped David out of his troubles, and serve Him with a perfect heart, with undivided allegiance, and with a willing mind; for the Lord searcheth all hearts and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts, wherefore a mere hand and lip service cannot deceive Him. If thou seek Him, desiring His inner acquaintance in true love and service, He will be found of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 28:1-21

Here begins the final charge of the greatest of the Hebrew kings to his son Solomon, and to the princes and captains and mighty men of the nation. He first made an impressive declaration of his recognition of the government of God in his own appointment to kingship, and that of his son. This, however, was but the background against which he made the declaration which was nearest his heart concerning the house of God. What evidently gave him unqualified satisfaction was that it was to be built.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 28:1-21

1 Chronicles 28:1-Ecclesiastes : . David’ s Address to the Great Ones of the Land: he Gives Solomon the Plans of the Temple.— In this chapter the thread of the narrative is taken up from where it was left at the end of ch. 22. 1 Chronicles 28:2 . my brethren and my people: see Deuteronomy 17:15, where it is said that “ one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee.” As so often elsewhere, the ideas of the Chronicler are dominated by the Law; an oriental king does not place... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 28:11

The pattern of the porch, to wit, of the temple; which is necessarily to be understood. The houses thereof; either, 1. The houses of the porch, so called because they went through the porch into them. Or rather, 2. The houses of the temple, manifestly understood in the next foregoing clause of this verse, to wit, the holy place, and the holy of holies; which may well pass for two houses, because they were separated by a partition; and because they were of differing dimensions, as appears by 1... read more
