Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 29:18

(18) Israel.—1 Chronicles 29:10. (See Genesis 32:28, and Exodus 3:6.)Keep this for ever in the imagination.—Rather, preserve this for ever: to wit, “the cast (1 Chronicles 28:9) of the thoughts of the heart of thy people.” Give permanence to the frame of mind which has evinced itself in the freewill offerings of to-day.Prepare their heart.—Or, direct (1 Samuel 7:3). (Comp. Ezekiel 4:3; Ezekiel 4:7, “direct the face towards . . .” Proverbs 16:9, “direct his going.” Comp. also 2 Chronicles 12:14;... read more

(20) Now bless.—Bless ye, I pray. The “now” is not a note of time, but of entreaty.Blessed the Lord God of their fathers.—Probably using a liturgical formula, like the doxologies which close the books of the Psalter (Psalms 41:13; Psalms 72:18-19; Psalms 89:52, &c).And bowed down their heads.—Or, and bowed. Vulg., inclinaverunt se; LXX. here, κάμψαντες τὰ γόνατα, bending the knees; but usually κνψαντες, stooping, bowing.Worshipped.—Prostrated themselves. LXX., προσεκύνησαν. The two... read more

Consecration (for St. Matthew's Day) 1 Chronicles 29:5 This old-time question comes to us with special force and fitness on the day on which we commemorate the life of St. Matthew. At the call of the Master 'Follow Me' he rose and left all and followed Christ; he consecrated his service, his life, himself unto the Lord. As a result of that call the current of his life branched out in two great directions the direction of devotion and the direction of service. It was nothing but intense... read more

THE LAST PRAYER OF DAVID1 Chronicles 29:10-19IN order to do justice to the chronicler’s method of presenting us with a number of very similar illustrations of the same principle, we have in the previous book grouped much of his material under a few leading subjects. There remains the general thread of the history, which is, of course, very much the same in Chronicles as in the book of Kings, and need not be dwelt on at any length. At the same time some brief survey is necessary for the sake of... read more
