1 Chronicles 28:19

19. The Lord made me understand in writing by his hand upon me Literally, the whole in a writing from the hand of Jehovah upon me he taught, all the works of the pattern. The meaning of this passage seems to be, that David had committed his plans for the temple to writing, and having modelled them largely after the pattern of the tabernacle, and conscious of the Divine inspiration and approval with which he wrote, he presented his patterns to Solomon as no devices or plans of his own invention, but as truly God-given as that received by Moses in the mount. Exodus 25:40. It need not be assumed, however, that David received the revelation of his plans in the same way that Moses did those of the tabernacle.
