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 Then King David said to the whole assembly: My son Solomon, the one whom God chose, is too inexperienced for this great task, since this temple won't be for humans but for the LORD God.
2 Using every resource at my disposal, I've provided everything for my God's temple: gold for gold objects, silver for silver objects, bronze for bronze objects, iron for iron objects, lumber for wooden objects, carnelian stones for settings, antimony, colorful stones, every kind of precious stone, and a large amount of marble.
3 What's more, because of my delight in my God's temple, I have dedicated my own private treasure of gold and silver to my God's temple, in addition to all that I've provided for the holy temple:
4 three thousand kikkars of gold from the gold of Ophir, seven thousand kikkars of refined silver for covering the walls of the rooms,
5 gold for gold objects, and silver for silver objects, to be used for everything the skilled workers will make. Who else, then, will volunteer, dedicating themselves to the LORD today?
