Commentary
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:1
Theological / DevotionalDavid the king said. David recounts his preparations for the building of the Temple and appeals to the men of wealth and position in Israel for offerings (vs. 1-9). Compare the experience of Moses, who, in response to the Lord’s directions, made an appeal to the people for offerings that the sanctuary might be built (Ex. 25:1-8; 35:4-9), and received a liberal response (Ex. 35:20-29).
Young and tender. Compare 1 Chron. 22:5; 1 Kings 3:7; Prov. 4:3.
Palace. Birah, an Akkadian loan word, which usually designates a palace or fortress (Neh. 1:1; 7:2; Esther 1:2, 5; 2:3, 5, 8; 3:15; Dan. 8:2). Here and in v. 19 it is used for the Temple.
