Commentary

1 Chronicles 28 is a chapter that focuses on King David's preparations for the building of the temple. He is determined to build a temple for the Lord, and he is taking the necessary steps to make sure that it is done properly. The chapter begins with David gathering the leaders of Israel and the Levites to Jerusalem. He then gives a speech to them, reminding them of the importance of the temple and the need to build it according to the Lord's instructions. He also reminds them of the importance of the Levites in the building of the temple, and he charges them with the responsibility of overseeing the work. David then goes on to give instructions for the building of the temple. He outlines the materials that will be used, the measurements of the temple, and the various furnishings that will be included. He also gives instructions for the priests and Levites, and he appoints Solomon as the one who will oversee the building of the temple. Finally, David gives a charge to Solomon to be strong and courageous in the building of the temple. He reminds him of the importance of the task and encourages him to be faithful to the Lord. This chapter is a reminder of the importance of following the Lord's instructions and of being faithful to Him. It is also a reminder of the importance of having strong leadership in the building of the temple. David's instructions and charge to Solomon are a reminder to us today to be faithful to the Lord and to be strong and courageous in our service to Him.
