Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:5

Theological / Devotional

Many sons. See ch. 3:1-9, where 19 sons are named, besides “the sons of the concubines, and Tamar their sister.”

Hath chosen Solomon. God had certified through Nathan that David’s successor on the throne was to be a younger son (2 Sam. 7:12), and it had evidently been revealed that this was to be Solomon (1 Chron. 22:8-10).

Kingdom of the Lord. The kingdom of Israel was primarily God’s kingdom, a theocracy. David was merely reigning as the representative of God.
