Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 22:1-5

Here is, I. The place fixed for the building of the temple (1 Chron. 22:1): Then David said, by inspiration of God, and as a declaration of his mind, This is the house of the Lord God. If a temple must be built for God, it is fit that it be left to him to choose the ground, for all the earth is his; and this is the ground he makes choice of-ground that pertained to a Jebusite, and perhaps there was not a spot of ground besides, in or about Jerusalem, that did so?a happy presage of the setting... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 22:3

And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings ,.... Great plenty of iron to make nails of for joining the boards together, of which the doors and gates were to be made, and for the fastening of the hinges of them: and brass in abundance without weight ; for making the altar of brass, and the laver of brass, and other vessels. Brass was much used by the Heathens in sacred things, as Macrobius F16 Saturnal. l. 5. c. 19. observes. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 22:4

Also cedar trees in abundance ,.... To be sawed into boards and planks for the cieling, wainscotting, and flooring of the temple, and other things: for the Zidonians, and they of Tyre, brought much cedar wood to David ; from Mount Lebanon, which was chiefly in their possession; and which they did either of themselves as a free gift and present to him, or at his request, for which he paid them; and this is another thing prefiguring the help of the Gentiles in building up the church of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 22:5

And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender ,.... Jarchi supposes he was about twelve years of age, though he observes that the same word is used of Joshua when forty two years of age; it is probable Solomon might be now about twenty: and the house that is to be builded for the Lord must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries : and such was the temple built by Solomon; it was renowned throughout the whole earth; never was there a temple equal to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 22:3

Iron… the joinings; and brass . The very first Bible mention of metals ( Genesis 4:22 ) places these two together. Whence Solomon got his "abundance" of the latter we have read in 1 Chronicles 18:8 ; for the "abundance' of the former he would not necessarily go further than his own land. Although the expression, "the land whose stones are iron" ( Deuteronomy 8:9 ), is possibly enough a poetical figure where it stands, yet some of the force of the figure may have sprung from its... read more

The Zidonians and they of Tyre (see 1 Kings 5:6 , 1 Kings 5:9 , 1 Kings 5:13-18 ; 2 Chronicles 2:16-18 ). The interesting passages in Homer, Herodotus, and Strabo, which speak of Zidon, etc; are in entire accord with what is here said, and are well worth perusal; e.g. 'Iliad,' 6:289-295, "And she descended to the vaulted chamber, where were the garments all embroidered, the works of women of Sidon, whom the godlike Alexander himself brought from Sidon when he crossed the wide sea,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 22:5

Solomon… is young and tender . It is impossible to fix the exact age of Solomon as marked by these words. In a "fragment" of Eupolemus he is put down at twelve years of age. Josephus ('Ant. Jud.,' 1 Chronicles 8:7 , § 8) as vaguely supposes he was fourteen at the time that he took the throne. He was the second son of Bathsheba, and can scarcely have exceeded the last-men-tioned age by mere than three or four years. This same language, "young and tender," is repeated in 1 Chronicles 29:1 ... read more
