1 Chronicles 29:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 29:3

Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my
God
Had a good will to it, and was earnestly desirous of having it built, and that in a grand manner:

I have of my own proper good;
which he had treasured up for his own use:

of gold and silver, [even that] I have given to the house of my God;
to build or ornament it, or make vessels for it:

over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house;
for the building of the temple, which is made mention of in the preceding chapter.

1 Chronicles 29:3 In-Context

1 And David the king said to all the assembly, "Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is young and inexperienced, and the work is great; for the palace will not be for man but for the LORD God.

2 So I have provided for the house of my God, so far as I was able, the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, besides great quantities of onyx and stones for setting, antimony, colored stones, all sorts of precious stones, and marble.

3 Moreover, in addition to all that I have provided for the holy house, I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, and because of my devotion to the house of my God I give it to the house of my God:

4 three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for overlaying the walls of the house,

5 and for all the work to be done by craftsmen, gold for the things of gold and silver for the things of silver. Who then will offer willingly, consecrating himself today to the LORD?"
