So David prepared abundantly before his death. 6 ¶ Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel. 7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God: 8 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight. 9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.* 10 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I *will be* his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. 11 Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee. 12 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God. 13 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed. 14 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.* 15 Moreover *there are* workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.* 16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, *there is* no number. Arise *therefore*, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee. 17 ¶ David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, *saying*, 18 *Is* not the LORD your God with you? and hath he *not* given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people. 19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD. [1 Chronicles 21](/study/1-chronicles/21) [1 Chronicles 23](/study/1-chronicles/23) ## Commentary To verse 1 **"Handfuls of Purpose,"** For All Gleaners *"Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel? [1 Chronicles 22:1](/kjv/1-chronicles/22/1)* *.* And yet not a stone of the building was laid! The reference is to the site whereon the temple is to be built. We read, "Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in Mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father" ([2Ch 3:1](/kjv/-2ch/3/1) ): the literal rendering would be, "which was shewn to David his father," the place being pointed out by the appearance of angels as the spot on which the temple was to stand. This is the very spirit of prophecy. We find all prophets impatient of time and space, and taking the future into their own hands, and dealing with it as if it were the immediate present. Say they: This is the place, this is the time, this is the means, a handling of time and space only to be understood by those in whom the spirit of prophecy resides. There are prophets, and there are those who understand prophets, and both the classes may be said to live upon the same intellectual plane. Some men are poets, others are only readers and lovers of poetry; yet those who love poetry are in a sense themselves poets, having the poetic instinct but not poetic expression. We are more than we show ourselves to be in words. The vividness of David's representation is singularly instructive, for David already seemed to see the temple and to be in the temple, and to know all the appointments of that sacred pile. It was the privilege of David to live in the future as if it were present. Is there not a sense in which we can all do this? May we not even now be in heaven as to all our highest desires and truest sympathies? Why speak of heaven as in the future, or in the distance? The apostle did not scruple to say, "Our citizenship is in heaven." Jesus Christ did not hesitate to declare that whilst he was upon the earth he was in heaven. And the glorious company of the apostles constantly declared that like Moses they endured as seeing the invisible, and their thoughts were intent upon a house not made with hands. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible/1-chronicles/22#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible/1-chronicles/22#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible/1-chronicles/22","name":"1 Chronicles 22 - Study King James Bible with parkers the peoples bible","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible/1-chronicles/22#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read 1 Chronicles 22 with parkers the peoples bible commentary. 1 Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel. 2 And David commanded to gather together the","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible/1-chronicles/22#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible/1-chronicles/22"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible/1-chronicles/22#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible","name":"parkers the peoples bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible/1-chronicles","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible/1-chronicles","name":"1 Chronicles"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible/1-chronicles/22","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/parkers-the-peoples-bible/1-chronicles/22","name":"22"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
