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.
