Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:8

Theological / Devotional

All the commandments. David well understood the supreme importance of obedience if Israel were to prosper. In this final address he therefore urged his people to be faithful. By his own bitter experience he had learned that the pathway of transgression is hard. He knew by experience what it meant to be condemned before God and to reap the fruits of transgression. Therefore with all the earnestness of his soul he urged the people to be true to God. Moses likewise, shortly before his death, set before Israel the blessings of obedience and the terrible fruits of transgression (Deut. 28; cf. Isa. 1:19, 20; Jer. 7:3-12).

This good land. God had promised His people a “good land,” “flowing with milk and honey” (Ex. 3:8). David recognized that it was indeed a good land which the Lord had given to His people.
