1 Chronicles 28:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 28:10

Take heed now
Of offending God by forsaking him; or see, consider, and observe now what he was further about to say to him, concerning the building of the temple, as follows:

for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary;
a temple for the ark, called the sanctuary, ( Numbers 7:9 ) ( 10:21 ) the Targum is, the Word of the Lord hath chosen thee

be strong, and do it,
be of a good heart and courage, and set about it with vigour and resolution.

1 Chronicles 28:10 In-Context

8 "And now, in this public place, all Israel looking on and God listening in, as God's people, obey and study every last one of the commandments of your God so that you can make the most of living in this good land and pass it on intact to your children, insuring a good future.

9 "And you, Solomon my son, get to know well your father's God; serve him with a whole heart and eager mind, for God examines every heart and sees through every motive. If you seek him, he'll make sure you find him, but if you abandon him, he'll leave you for good.

10 Look sharp now! God has chosen you to build his holy house. Be brave, determined! And do it!"

11 Then David presented his son Solomon with the plans for The Temple complex: porch, storerooms, meeting rooms, and the place for atoning sacrifice.

12 He turned over the plans for everything that God's Spirit had brought to his mind: the design of the courtyards, the arrangements of rooms, and the closets for storing all the holy things.
