1 Chronicles 22:19

19 Now then, dedicate yourselves to seeking the LORD your God. Get to work and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that the chest containing the LORD's covenant together with God's holy equipment may be brought into the temple built for the LORD's name."

1 Chronicles 22:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 22:19

Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God,
&c.] His honour and glory, most sincerely and cordially, and to the utmost of their power:

arise ye, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God;
assist therein, and encourage the work as much as they were able, without delay:

to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord;
which was now in a tent of David's erecting and pitching:

and the holy vessels of God:
which were in the tabernacle at Gibeon: into the house that is to be built to the name of the Lord: that so they might be together, and made use of; which in times past had been separated, and much neglected.

1 Chronicles 22:19 In-Context

17 Then David ordered all of Israel's leaders to help his son Solomon:
18 "The LORD your God is with you! He's given you peace on every side. He's placed under my power the land's people, so that the land is under the control of the LORD and his people.
19 Now then, dedicate yourselves to seeking the LORD your God. Get to work and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that the chest containing the LORD's covenant together with God's holy equipment may be brought into the temple built for the LORD's name."
