21 You have all the priests and Levites standing ready to pitch in, and skillful craftsmen and artisans of every kind ready to go to work. Both leaders and people are ready. Just say the word."

1 Chronicles 28:21 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 28:21

And, behold, all the courses of the priests and the Levites,
&c.] Which David had lately fixed to take their turns in the temple, when built: even they shall be with thee

for all the service of the house of God;
to advise and assist him in everything relating to the service of the sanctuary, which they might be supposed best to understand:

and there shall be with thee, for all manner of workmanship, every
willing skilful man for any manner of service;
men that were not only well skilled in all manner of curious work that was necessary for the service of the house, but were willing to employ their skill to the uttermost for it, and such David had provided, ( 1 Chronicles 22:15 ) ,

also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment:
to do whatever he should order, whether to overlook the workmen, or to contribute to the expenses of the work.

1 Chronicles 28:21 In-Context

19 "Here are the blueprints for the whole project as God gave me to understand it," David said.
20 David continued to address Solomon: "Take charge! Take heart! Don't be anxious or get discouraged. God, my God, is with you in this; he won't walk off and leave you in the lurch. He's at your side until every last detail is completed for conducting the worship of God.
21 You have all the priests and Levites standing ready to pitch in, and skillful craftsmen and artisans of every kind ready to go to work. Both leaders and people are ready. Just say the word."
