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 David also commanded all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
18 "Is not the LORD your God with you? And has he not given you peace on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD and his people.
19 Now set your mind and heart to seek the LORD your God. Arise and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy vessels of God may be brought into a house built for the name of the LORD."
