Commentary on 1 Chronicles 27:25

Theological / Devotional

The king’s treasures. These were probably treasures of gold, silver, bronze, and precious stones in the royal treasury at Jerusalem. Verses 25–31 comprise an important section dealing with the question of the royal revenue and the means by which it was acquired. David’s wealth consisted of treasure laid up in storehouses in cities and in rural areas. Its sources were fields, vineyards, olive orchards, sycamore plantations, flocks, herds, camels, and asses. David had become wealthy, and it was necessary that expert help be provided to take care of his financial interests.

Castles. Or, towers (see 2 Chron. 26:10).
