1 Chronicles 29:27

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:23-30

These verses bring king Solomon to his throne and king David to his grave. Thus the rising generation thrusts out that which went before, and says, ?Make room for us.? Every one has his day. I. Here is Solomon rising (1 Chron. 29:23): Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord. Not his throne which he prepared in the heavens, but the throne of Israel is called the throne of the Lord because not only is he King of all nations, and all kings rule under him, but he was in a peculiar manner King of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:1-30

Solomon presented to the people (28:1-29:30)David had been forced to appoint Solomon as king hastily when he learnt that another son, Adonijah, was plotting to seize the throne for himself (see notes on 1 Kings 1:5-53). That very unceremonious anointing of Solomon was followed soon after by a second anointing, this time with full religious and regal ceremony (see 29:22). This second occasion is the one that the Chronicler refers to here. David presented Solomon to the people as the one who, by... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Chronicles 29:1-30

3. The third account of God’s promises to David chs. 28-29A primary concern of the Chronicler, the evidence of which is his selection of material and emphases, was the promise of a King who would eventually come and rule over God’s people. God had fulfilled some of the Davidic Covenant promises in David’s lifetime. He fulfilled others in Solomon’s reign. Still others remained unfulfilled. For a third time the writer recorded the promises God gave to David. In the first case, God spoke to David... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Chronicles 29:26-30

David’s death 29:26-30The writer highlighted David’s greatness again and cited documentation for the sources he had used in researching David’s life and reign. The Chronicler identified 32 sources that he used in writing 1 and 2 Chronicles. Most of these were official annals, genealogical records, or prophetic records. [Note: See Howard, pp. 238-42.] Compare the summary of Moses’ life in Deuteronomy 34:7.As the reign of David closed, God had already fulfilled many of His promises in the Davidic... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 1 Chronicles 29:1-30

Consecration (for St. Matthew's Day) 1 Chronicles 29:5 This old-time question comes to us with special force and fitness on the day on which we commemorate the life of St. Matthew. At the call of the Master 'Follow Me' he rose and left all and followed Christ; he consecrated his service, his life, himself unto the Lord. As a result of that call the current of his life branched out in two great directions the direction of devotion and the direction of service. It was nothing but intense... read more
