1 Chronicles 22:19

19 Now give yourselves completely to obeying the Lord your God. Build the holy place of the Lord God; build the Temple for worship to the Lord. Then bring the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord and the holy items that belong to God into the Temple."

1 Chronicles 22:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 22:19

Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God,
&c.] His honour and glory, most sincerely and cordially, and to the utmost of their power:

arise ye, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God;
assist therein, and encourage the work as much as they were able, without delay:

to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord;
which was now in a tent of David's erecting and pitching:

and the holy vessels of God:
which were in the tabernacle at Gibeon: into the house that is to be built to the name of the Lord: that so they might be together, and made use of; which in times past had been separated, and much neglected.

1 Chronicles 22:19 In-Context

17 Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon.
18 David said to them, "The Lord your God is with you. He has given you rest from our enemies. He has handed over to me the people living around us. The Lord and his people are in control of this land.
19 Now give yourselves completely to obeying the Lord your God. Build the holy place of the Lord God; build the Temple for worship to the Lord. Then bring the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord and the holy items that belong to God into the Temple."
