Summary
In 1 Chronicles 28-29, the final chapters of David’s life, he was forbidden by God from building the Temple but given the task of making preparations for it. David gathered the necessary materials and craftsmen, handing over the plans to his son Solomon. He emphasized the importance of following God’s commandments to possess the promised land and passed on words of wisdom to Solomon. David praised God and Solomon was anointed as king, receiving great honor and majesty. Despite his failures, David’s legacy as a man after God’s own heart endures.

First Chronicles chapter 28. David held a meeting in Jerusalem for all the leaders of Israel, the leaders of the tribes, the leaders of the army units that served the king. The commanders have regiments And battalions, the officials in charge of all the property And livestock belonging to the king And his sons, the palace officials, the soldiers And the fighting men. David stood in front of them And said, Listen to me, my relatives And subjects. I had my heart set on building that temple where the Ark of the Lord’s promise could be placed. This temple would be a stool for our God’s feet, And I have made preparations to build it. But God told me, You must not build a temple for my name. You have fought wars And caused bloodshed. Yet from my entire family, the Lord God of Israel chose me to be king of Israel permanently. He had chosen the tribe of Judah to lead Israel from the families of Judah he chose my father’s family from among my father’s sons he was pleased to make me King of all Israel, And of all my sons, the Lord has given me many sons. He chose my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the Lord’s kingdom to rule Israel. He told me your son Solomon will build my temple And my courtyards because I have chosen him to be my son, I will be his father. I will establish His kingdom forever if he will remain determined to obey my commands And laws, as he is doing today. 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. 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. So be careful because the Lord has chosen you to build the temple as his holy place, be strong And do it. Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the entrance hall And the temple And storerooms, upper rooms, inner rooms And the room for the throne of mercy. 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. He determined the divisions of priests And Levites he planned all the work done for worship in the Lord’s temple. He designed all the utensils for worship in the Lord’s temple. David specified the weight of gold to be used for each of the utensils for worship, the weight of the gold lamp stands And their gold lamps, that is the weight of gold for each lampstand And its lamps. The weight of silver for each silver lampstand And its lamps according to the use of each lamp stand for worship, the weight of gold for each table with the rows of bread, And the silver for the silver tables. The pure gold for the forks bowls And pitchers, the weight of each gold bowl, the weight of each silver bowl, And the refined gold for the altar of incense. He also gave Solomon the plans for the chariot, that is, the gold angels with their wings spread to cover the Ark of the Lord’s promise. David said, All this was written for me by the Lord’s hand, he made all the details of the plan clear to me. David also told his son Solomon, Be strong And courageous And do the work. Don’t be afraid or terrified. The Lord God, my God will be with you. He will not abandon you before all the work on the Lord’s temple is finished. Here are also the divisions of the priests And Levites for every type of worship in God’s temple. You have with you every skilled worker to do all the work. In addition, all the leaders And people are at your command,

First Chronicles chapter 29. Then King David said to all the assembly, my son Solomon, God has chosen him alone is young And inexperienced, the task is great because the temple will not be for man, but for the Lord God. So to the best of my ability, I’ve made provision for the house of my God, gold for the gold articles, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, And wood for the wood, as well as onyx stones for mounting antimony stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones at a great quantity of marble. Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give my personal treasures of gold And silver for the house of my God over And above all that I’ve provided for the Holy House 4100 tons of gold, gold of Ophir, And 250 tons of refined silver for overlaying the walls of the buildings, the gold for the gold work And the silver for the silver for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now who will volunteer to consecrate himself to the Lord today. Then the leaders of the households, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1000s, And of hundreds, And the officials in charge of the King’s work gave willingly. For the service of God’s house, they gave 185 tons of gold And 10,000 gold coins 375 tons of silver 675 tonnes of bronze And 4000 tonnes of iron. Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the Lord’s house under the care of Jehovah gursha night. Then the people rejoiced because of their leaders willingness to give for they had given to the Lord with a whole heart. King David also rejoiced greatly. Then David praise the Lord in the sight of all the assembly. David said, may you be praised Lord God of our father Israel from eternity to eternity. You yours, Lord is the greatness And the power And the glory in the splendor And the majesty, for everything in the heavens And on earth belongs to you. Yours, Lord is the kingdom And you are exalted as head overall. riches in honor come from you, And you are the ruler of everything. Power And mind are in your hand, And it is in your hand, to make great And to give strength to all. Now therefore our God, we give you Thanks And praise Your glorious Name. But who am I And who are my people that we should be able to give as generously as this, for everything comes from you. And we have given you only wood comes from your own hand, for we live before you as foreigners in temporary residence in your presence, as we’re all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow without hope, Yahweh our God, all this wealth that we’ve provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, everything belongs to you. I know my God that you test the heart, And that you are pleased with what is right. I have willingly given all these things with an upright heart. And now I have seen your people who are present here giving joyfully And willingly to you, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, And Israel, our ancestors, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the hearts of your people, And confirm their hearts toward you. Give my son Solomon a whole heart to keep And to carry out all your commands, your decrees And your statutes, And to build the temple for which I’ve made provision. Then David said to the whole assembly, praise the Lord your God. So the whole assembly praise the Lord God of their ancestors, they bowed down And paid homage to the Lord in the king. The following day, they offered sacrifices to the Lord And burnt offerings to the Lord 1000 bowls of 1000, rams And 1000 lambs, along with their drink offerings And sacrifices And abundance for all Israel. They ate And drank with great joy in the Lord’s presence that day. Then for a second time, they made David’s son Solomon king, they anointed him as the Lord’s ruler And say, Doc is the priest. Solomon sat on the Lord’s throne, his king in place of his father, David, he prospered And all Israel obeyed him. All the leaders And the mighty men And all of King David’s sons as well pledged their allegiance to King Solomon. The Lord highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, And bestowed on him such Royal Majesty as had not been bestowed on any king over Israel before him. David son of Jesse was king over all Israel. The length of his reign over Israel was 40 years. He reigned in Hebron for seven years And in Jerusalem for 33. He died at a ripe old age full of days, riches And honour, And his son Solomon became king in his place. As for the events of King David’s reign from beginning to end, note that they are written in the events of Samuel, the seer, the events of Nathan the prophet, And the events of Gad, the seer along with all his reign, his might, in the incidents that affected him And Israel, And all the kingdoms of the surrounding lands.
Steve Webb 23:17
well, beloved, these chapters are the finale of David’s life, one of David’s great desires was to build the temple. But God told him that since he had been a man of war And had spilled blood, he would not be the one to build it. That would be for his son Solomon to do. But instead of allowing David to build the temple, God told David that he God would build an everlasting house for David, they would be a descendant of David on the throne forever. But God did allow David to make the preparations to build it in this David did with all of his heart, he gathered gold, silver, bronze, wood, onyx, And a variety of other stones And marble. And he arranged for all the craftsmen that would do the work. And David gave the plans for building the temple to Solomon. So in today’s language, we might say that David was sort of a general contractor. Not exactly, but you get the idea. The point is, God allowed David to do everything, but actually be involved in the construction itself. And David put his all into the preparation. In the final two chapters, David called together all of Israel’s leaders And told them that they should be careful to seek out all the commandments of the Lord their God, so that they would possess this good land And leave it as an inheritance for their children And their children’s children forever. And David had words of advice for Solomon, his son, he said, No the God of your father in serve Him with a loyal heart And with a willing mind, for the Lord searches all hearts And understands all the intent of the thoughts that he said, Be strong And of good courage And do it. Do not fear nor be dismayed for the Lord God, my God. We’ll be with you. Beloved, this is really good advice for any parent to pass on to their children, don’t you think? And then David offered prays to God in the manner that you would expect of the one who wrote most of the songs. And then after Solomon took the throne, he was anointed king. And the Lord exalted Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, And God bestowed on him such Royal Majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel. So David, the shepherd boy, in the eyes of men, the least of the sons of Jesse, but the one chosen by God to become king of Israel reign for 40 years. David’s life was not without great failures, but he was called a man after God’s own heart. Quite a legacy, I’d say. well, what do you think of David, you have comments or questions. Contact information will be at the end of today’s show. But if you have a modern podcast app, comment via boostagram Tomorrow will be Psalms Wednesday And our reading will be chapters 108 through 110.
