1 Chronicles 29:21 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 29:21

And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the Lord
David and the congregation:

and offered burnt offerings unto the Lord on the morrow after that day;
not having time enough on that day to perform, at least not all of them; and these they offered on the altar David had erected in the threshingfloor of Araunah, by the order of God, where afterwards the temple was built:

[even] a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with
their burnt offerings;
and meat offerings also, both which always went along with them:

and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel;
whom they represented; these last were peace offerings, part of which the offerers had for themselves and friends to feast on, as these did, as follows.

1 Chronicles 29:21 In-Context

19 Make my son Solomon completely committed [to you] so that he will obey your commands, requests, and laws and do everything to build the palace I have planned."
20 Then David said to the whole assembly, "Praise the LORD your God!" So the whole assembly praised the LORD God of their ancestors and knelt in front of the LORD and the king.
21 The next day they sacrificed to the LORD. They sacrificed burnt offerings to the LORD: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 lambs, wine offerings, and many sacrifices for all Israel.
22 That day they ate and drank as they joyfully celebrated in front of the LORD. For the second time they made David's son Solomon king. On the LORD's behalf they anointed Solomon to be leader and Zadok to be the priest.
23 Then Solomon sat on the LORD's throne as king in place of his father David. Solomon was successful and all Israel obeyed him.
