Lìdaìzhìshàng 29:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 29:1

Furthermore, David the king said unto all the congregation,
&c.] Having finished what he had to say to Solomon, he addressed the congregation again:

Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen;
both to be king, and to build the temple

is yet young and tender;
see ( 1 Chronicles 22:5 )

and the work is great;
both of governing so great a people, and of building so magnificent a temple, especially the latter is meant:

for the palace is not for man;
for any mortal king, though ever so great:

but for the Lord God;
the Targum is,

``but for the Word of the Lord God,''

who is the King of kings, and Lord of lords; and therefore is to be built as with the greatest exactness, according to the pattern he himself has given, so with the greatest splendour and magnificence.
