1 Chronicles 28:5-13

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:1-10

A great deal of service David had done in his day, had served his generation according to the will of God, Acts 13:36. But now the time draws night that he must die, and, as a type of the Son of David, the nearer he comes to his end the more busy he is, and does his work with all his might. He is now a little recovered from the indisposition mentioned 1 Kgs. 1:1; when they covered him with clothes, and he got no heat: but was cure is there for old age? He therefore improves his recovery, as... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:11-21

As for the general charge that David gave his son to seek God and serve him, the book of the law was, in that, his only rule, and there needed no other; but, in building the temple, David was now to give him three things:?1. A model of the building, because it was to be such a building as neither he nor his architects ever saw. Moses had a pattern of the tabernacle shown him in the mount (Heb. 8:5), so had David of the temple, by the immediate hand of God upon him, 1 Chron. 28:19. It was given... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:5

And of all my sons, for the Lord hath given me many sons ,.... Whose names, and the order of their birth, may be read in 1 Chronicles 3:1 . he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel ; to be his successor in it: this he says to observe to them, that this was not merely his own will and choice, nor the fruit and effect of a fond affection to Solomon; nor was it barely in pursuance of a promise made to Bathsheba, she had obtained of him;... read more

And he said unto me, Solomon that son, he shall build my house ,.... See 2 Samuel 7:13 . and my courts ; in the house or temple: for I have chosen him to be my son ; predestinated him to the adoption of children, Ephesians 1:5 . and I will be his father ; see 2 Samuel 7:14 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:7

Moreover, I will establish his kingdom for ever ,.... The same is said in 2 Samuel 7:13 . if he be constant to do my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day ; if he continued in the observance of them, as he had begun, and went on in until that day; this is added here, and was not spoken by Nathan, when what goes before was; for Solomon was not then born, but must be suggested to David since, and as it should seem at this time. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:8

Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the congregation of the Lord ,.... Whom this assembly represented: and in the audience of our God ; before him, as Jarchi, in whose presence they were, and who heard and saw all that passed, and to whom David appeals as a witness; the Targum is,"before the Word of the Lord.'before whom all things are naked and open, Hebrews 4:12 . keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God ; seek to know them, search for them in the word... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:9

And thou, Solomon my son ,.... Who was present in this assembly, and presented to them by David as his successor, and their future king: and having addressed them, he turns himself to him, and exhorts him, saying: know thou the God of thy father ; who was his Father and covenant God, and whom he served and worshipped, and who had bestowed upon him many favours, both temporal and spiritual; and having had such an experience of his goodness, he exhorts his son to seek to know more and more... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:10

Take heed now ,.... Of offending God by forsaking him; or see, consider, and observe now what he was further about to say to him, concerning the building of the temple, as follows: for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary ; a temple for the ark, called the sanctuary, Numbers 7:9 the Targum is, the Word of the Lord hath chosen thee, &c.; be strong, and do it , be of a good heart and courage, and set about it with vigour and resolution. read more

Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch ,.... The breadth, and length, and height of it, which was to be placed at the east end of the temple, and was the entrance into it: and, of the houses thereof ; the holy place, and the most holy, which latter is called the greater house, 2 Chronicles 3:5 , and of the treasures ; where things belonging to the temple were laid up, the priests' vestments, and other things: and of the upper chambers ; where the priests... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:12

By the Spirit of God, who gave him the whole form of the temple, and all things relative to it; just as God showed to Moses the pattern of the tabernacle in the mount; the Targum is, by the spirit of prophecy that was with him. The Jews suppose that Samuel the prophet was first made acquainted with it, and he made it known to David: of the courts of the house of the Lord : the outward court, the court of the priests, &c.; and of all the chambers round about : see 1 Kings 6:5 . ... read more
