Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 1 Chronicles 28:1-10

1 Chronicles DAVID’S CHARGE TO SOLOMON 1Ch_28:1 - 1Ch_28:10 . David had established an elaborate organisation of royal officials, details of which occupy the preceding chapters and interrupt the course of the narrative. The passage picks up again the thread dropped at 1Ch_23:1 . The list of the members of the assembly called in 1Ch_28:1 is interesting as showing how he tried to amalgamate the old with the new. The princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, represented the primitive... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 28:1-21

Here begins the final charge of the greatest of the Hebrew kings to his son Solomon, and to the princes and captains and mighty men of the nation. He first made an impressive declaration of his recognition of the government of God in his own appointment to kingship, and that of his son. This, however, was but the background against which he made the declaration which was nearest his heart concerning the house of God. What evidently gave him unqualified satisfaction was that it was to be built.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 28:1-21

1 Chronicles 28:1-Ecclesiastes : . David’ s Address to the Great Ones of the Land: he Gives Solomon the Plans of the Temple.— In this chapter the thread of the narrative is taken up from where it was left at the end of ch. 22. 1 Chronicles 28:2 . my brethren and my people: see Deuteronomy 17:15, where it is said that “ one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee.” As so often elsewhere, the ideas of the Chronicler are dominated by the Law; an oriental king does not place... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:10

1 Chronicles 28:10 I. Look, first, at the words "Be strong" that is, for service. None can tell how strong for service they may ultimately become. All the strong men and all the great men become so by degrees. We find in the context four secrets of strength for service. (1) If you are to be strong in service, there must be a clear conviction that you are called of God to the work. (2) Along with a conviction of our call to the work, there must be an intimate knowledge of God. (3) A third... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 28:1-21

Chapter 27And then the courses were established in chapter twenty-seven. There were twelve captains for, one for each month to oversee a particular month. And then the princes were established for the twelve tribes. And in verse twenty-three, chapter twenty-seven,But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like the stars of heaven. Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he didn't finish the task, because of the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 28:1-21

1 Chronicles 28:12 . The pattern of all that he had by the Spirit. Though the Septuagint read, “the pattern of all that he had in his mind;” yet from 1 Chronicles 28:19, and from Exodus 31:3, it is plain enough that the idea of the temple and its altar was made known to David by revelation, and by him committed to writing and delivered to Solomon. Hence we religiously contemplate the temple as a faint figure of the church of Christ, and of the state of the heavenly kingdom; and we find this... read more
