1 Chronicles 28:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 28:10

Take heed now
Of offending God by forsaking him; or see, consider, and observe now what he was further about to say to him, concerning the building of the temple, as follows:

for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary;
a temple for the ark, called the sanctuary, ( Numbers 7:9 ) ( 10:21 ) the Targum is, the Word of the Lord hath chosen thee

be strong, and do it,
be of a good heart and courage, and set about it with vigour and resolution.

1 Chronicles 28:10 In-Context

8 "So now, my people, in the presence of our God and of this assembly of all Israel, the Lord's people, I charge you to obey carefully everything that the Lord our God has commanded us, so that you may continue to possess this good land and so that you may hand it on to succeeding generations forever."

9 And to Solomon he said, "My son, I charge you to acknowledge your father's God and to serve him with an undivided heart and a willing mind. He knows all our thoughts and desires. If you go to him, he will accept you; but if you turn away from him, he will abandon you forever.

10 You must realize that the Lord has chosen you to build his holy Temple. Now do it - and do it with determination."

11 David gave Solomon the plans for all the Temple buildings, for the storerooms and all the other rooms, and for the Most Holy Place, where sins are forgiven.

12 He also gave him the plans for all he had in mind for the courtyards and the rooms around them, and for the storerooms for the Temple equipment and the gifts dedicated to the Lord.
