1 Chronicles 28:3 NIV,NKJV

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

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

But God said unto me, Thou shalt not. ] The best are sometimes crossed in their desires, and must submit to God; going on to do their duty, though they should not have the fruit of it till they come to heaven; howbeit "in the doing" - not only for the doing - of God’s will, "there is great reward."
