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 Now, [leaders, I order you] in the sight of Israel (the LORD's congregation) and as our God listens to dedicate your lives to doing everything the LORD your God has commanded. Then you will be able to possess this good land and leave it as an inheritance to your descendants.

9 "And you, my son Solomon, learn to know your father's God. Serve the LORD wholeheartedly and willingly because he searches every heart and understands every thought [we have]. If you dedicate your life to serving him, he will accept you. But if you abandon him, he will reject you from then on.

10 So be careful, because the LORD has chosen you to build the temple as his holy place. Be strong, and do it."

11 Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the entrance hall and the temple, its storerooms, upper rooms, inner rooms, and the room for the throne of mercy.

12 He gave him plans for the courtyards of the LORD's temple and for all the rooms around it. (These rooms served as treasuries for God's temple and the gifts dedicated to God.)
