But Solomon ^H8010 was building ^H1129 his own house ^H1004 thirteen ^H7969 ^H6240 years, ^H8141 and he finished ^H3615 all his house. ^H1004 He built ^H1129 also the house ^H1004 of the forest ^H3293 of Lebanon; ^H3844 the length ^H753 thereof was an hundred ^H3967 cubits, ^H520 and the breadth ^H7341 thereof fifty ^H2572 cubits, ^H520 and the height ^H6967 thereof thirty ^H7970 cubits, ^H520 upon four ^H702 rows ^H2905 of cedar ^H730 pillars, ^H5982 with cedar ^H730 beams ^H3773 upon the pillars. ^H5982 And it was covered ^H5603 with cedar ^H730 above ^H4605 upon the beams, ^H6763 that lay on forty ^H705 five ^H2568 pillars, ^H5982 fifteen ^H6240 in a row. ^H2905 And there were windows ^H8261 in three ^H7969 rows, ^H2905 and light ^H4237 was against light ^H4237 in three ^H7969 ranks. ^H6471 And all the doors ^H6607 and posts ^H4201 were square, ^H7251 with the windows: ^H8260 and light ^H4237 was against ^H4136 light ^H4237 in three ^H7969 ranks. ^H6471 And he made ^H6213 a porch ^H197 of pillars; ^H5982 the length ^H753 thereof was fifty ^H2572 cubits, ^H520 and the breadth ^H7341 thereof thirty ^H7970 cubits: ^H520 and the porch ^H197 was before ^H6440 them: and the other pillars ^H5982 and the thick beam ^H5646 were before them. Then he made ^H6213 a porch ^H197 for the throne ^H3678 where he might judge, ^H8199 even the porch ^H197 of judgment: ^H4941 and it was covered ^H5603 with cedar ^H730 from one side of the floor ^H7172 to the other. ^H7172 And his house ^H1004 where he dwelt ^H3427 had another ^H312 court ^H2691 within ^H1004 the porch, ^H197 which was of the like work. ^H4639 Solomon ^H8010 made ^H6213 also an house ^H1004 for Pharaoh's ^H6547 daughter, ^H1323 whom he had taken ^H3947 to wife, like unto this porch. ^H197 All these were of costly ^H3368 stones, ^H68 according to the measures ^H4060 of hewed stones, ^H1496 sawed ^H1641 with saws, ^H4050 within ^H1004 and without, ^H2351 even from the foundation ^H4527 unto the coping, ^H2947 and so on the outside ^H2351 toward the great ^H1419 court. ^H2691 And the foundation ^H3245 was of costly ^H3368 stones, ^H68 even great ^H1419 stones, ^H68 stones ^H68 of ten ^H6235 cubits, ^H520 and stones ^H68 of eight ^H8083 cubits. ^H520 And above ^H4605 were costly ^H3368 stones, ^H68 after the measures ^H4060 of hewed stones, ^H1496 and cedars. ^H730 And the great ^H1419 court ^H2691 round about ^H5439 was with three ^H7969 rows ^H2905 of hewed stones, ^H1496 and a row ^H2905 of cedar ^H730 beams, ^H3773 both for the inner ^H6442 court ^H2691 of the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 and for the porch ^H197 of the house. ^H1004 And king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 sent ^H7971 and fetched ^H3947 Hiram ^H2438 out of Tyre. ^H6865 He was a widow's ^H802 ^H490 son ^H1121 of the tribe ^H4294 of Naphtali, ^H5321 and his father ^H1 was a man ^H376 of Tyre, ^H6876 a worker ^H2790 in brass: ^H5178 and he was filled ^H4390 with wisdom, ^H2451 and understanding, ^H8394 and cunning ^H1847 to work ^H6213 all works ^H4399 in brass. ^H5178 And he came ^H935 to king ^H4428 Solomon, ^H8010 and wrought ^H6213 all his work. ^H4399 For he cast ^H6696 two ^H8147 pillars ^H5982 of brass, ^H5178 of eighteen ^H8083 ^H6240 cubits ^H520 high ^H6967 apiece: ^H5982 ^H259 and a line ^H2339 of twelve ^H8147 ^H6240 cubits ^H520 did compass ^H5437 either ^H8145 of them about. ^H5437 And he made ^H6213 two ^H8147 chapiters ^H3805 of molten ^H3332 brass, ^H5178 to set ^H5414 upon the tops ^H7218 of the pillars: ^H5982 the height ^H6967 of the one ^H259 chapiter ^H3805 was five ^H2568 cubits, ^H520 and the height ^H6967 of the other ^H8145 chapiter ^H3805 was five ^H2568 cubits: ^H520 And nets ^H7638 of checker ^H7639 work, ^H4639 and wreaths ^H1434 of chain ^H8333 work, ^H4639 for the chapiters ^H3805 which were upon the top ^H7218 of the pillars; ^H5982 seven ^H7651 for the one ^H259 chapiter, ^H3805 and seven ^H7651 for the other ^H8145 chapiter. ^H3805 And he made ^H6213 the pillars, ^H5982 and two ^H8147 rows ^H2905 round about ^H5439 upon the one ^H259 network, ^H7639 to cover ^H3680 the chapiters ^H3805 that were upon the top, ^H7218 with pomegranates: ^H7416 and so did ^H6213 he for the other ^H8145 chapiter. ^H3805 And the chapiters ^H3805 that were upon the top ^H7218 of the pillars ^H5982 were of lily ^H7799 work ^H4639 in the porch, ^H197 four ^H702 cubits. ^H520 And the chapiters ^H3805 upon the two ^H8147 pillars ^H5982 had pomegranates also above, ^H4605 over against ^H5980 the belly ^H990 which was by ^H5676 the network: ^H7639 and the pomegranates ^H7416 were two hundred ^H3967 in rows ^H2905 round about ^H5439 upon the other ^H8145 chapiter. ^H3805 And he set up ^H6965 the pillars ^H5982 in the porch ^H197 of the temple: ^H1964 and he set up ^H6965 the right ^H3233 pillar, ^H5982 and called ^H7121 the name ^H8034 thereof Jachin: ^H3199 and he set up ^H6965 the left ^H8042 pillar, ^H5982 and called ^H7121 the name ^H8034 thereof Boaz. ^H1162 And upon the top ^H7218 of the pillars ^H5982 was lily ^H7799 work: ^H4639 so was the work ^H4399 of the pillars ^H5982 finished. ^H8552 And he made ^H6213 a molten ^H3332 sea, ^H3220 ten ^H6235 cubits ^H520 from the one brim ^H8193 to the other: ^H8193 it was round ^H5696 all about, ^H5439 and his height ^H6967 was five ^H2568 cubits: ^H520 and a line ^H6957 ^H6961 of thirty ^H7970 cubits ^H520 did compass ^H5437 it round about. ^H5439 And under the brim ^H8193 of it round about ^H5439 there were knops ^H6497 compassing ^H5437 it, ten ^H6235 in a cubit, ^H520 compassing ^H5362 the sea ^H3220 round about: ^H5439 the knops ^H6497 were cast ^H3333 in two ^H8147 rows, ^H2905 when it was cast. ^H3332 It stood ^H5975 upon twelve ^H8147 ^H6240 oxen, ^H1241 three ^H7969 looking ^H6437 toward the north, ^H6828 and three ^H7969 looking ^H6437 toward the west, ^H3220 and three ^H7969 looking ^H6437 toward the south, ^H5045 and three ^H7969 looking ^H6437 toward the east: ^H4217 and the sea ^H3220 was set above ^H4605 upon them, and all their hinder parts ^H268 were inward. ^H1004 And it was an hand breadth ^H2947 thick, ^H5672 and the brim ^H8193 thereof was wrought ^H4639 like the brim ^H8193 of a cup, ^H3563 with flowers ^H6525 of lilies: ^H7799 it contained ^H3557 two thousand ^H505 baths. ^H1324 And he made ^H6213 ten ^H6235 bases ^H4350 of brass; ^H5178 four ^H702 cubits ^H520 was the length ^H753 of one ^H259 base, ^H4350 and four ^H702 cubits ^H520 the breadth ^H7341 thereof, and three ^H7969 cubits ^H520 the height ^H6967 of it. And the work ^H4639 of the bases ^H4350 was on this manner: they had borders, ^H4526 and the borders ^H4526 were between the ledges: ^H7948 And on the borders ^H4526 that were between the ledges ^H7948 were lions, ^H738 oxen, ^H1241 and cherubims: ^H3742 and upon the ledges ^H7948 there was a base ^H3653 above: ^H4605 and beneath the lions ^H738 and oxen ^H1241 were certain additions ^H3914 made of thin ^H4174 work. ^H4639 And every ^H259 base ^H4350 had four ^H702 brasen ^H5178 wheels, ^H212 and plates ^H5633 of brass: ^H5178 and the four ^H702 corners ^H6471 thereof had undersetters: ^H3802 under the laver ^H3595 were undersetters ^H3802 molten, ^H3332 at the side ^H5676 of every ^H376 addition. ^H3914 And the mouth ^H6310 of it within ^H1004 the chapiter ^H3805 and above ^H4605 was a cubit: ^H520 but the mouth ^H6310 thereof was round ^H5696 after the work ^H4639 of the base, ^H3653 a cubit ^H520 and an half: ^H2677 and also upon the mouth ^H6310 of it were gravings ^H4734 with their borders, ^H4526 foursquare, ^H7251 not round. ^H5696 And under ^H8478 the borders ^H4526 were four ^H702 wheels; ^H212 and the axletrees ^H3027 of the wheels ^H212 were joined to the base: ^H4350 and the height ^H6967 of a ^H259 wheel ^H212 was a cubit ^H520 and half ^H2677 a cubit. ^H520 And the work ^H4639 of the wheels ^H212 was like the work ^H4639 of a chariot ^H4818 wheel: ^H212 their axletrees, ^H3027 and their naves, ^H1354 and their felloes, ^H2839 and their spokes, ^H2840 were all molten. ^H3332 And there were four ^H702 undersetters ^H3802 to the four ^H702 corners ^H6438 of one ^H259 base: ^H4350 and the undersetters ^H3802 were of the very base ^H4350 itself. And in the top ^H7218 of the base ^H4350 was there a round ^H5696 compass ^H5439 of half ^H2677 a cubit ^H520 high: ^H6967 and on the top ^H7218 of the base ^H4350 the ledges ^H3027 thereof and the borders ^H4526 thereof were of the same. For on the plates ^H3871 of the ledges ^H3027 thereof, and on the borders ^H4526 thereof, he graved ^H6605 cherubims, ^H3742 lions, ^H738 and palm trees, ^H8561 according to the proportion ^H4626 of every one, ^H376 and additions ^H3914 round about. ^H5439 After this manner he made ^H6213 the ten ^H6235 bases: ^H4350 all of them had one ^H259 casting, ^H4165 one ^H259 measure, ^H4060 and one ^H259 size. ^H7095 Then made ^H6213 he ten ^H6235 lavers ^H3595 of brass: ^H5178 one ^H259 laver ^H3595 contained ^H3557 forty ^H705 baths: ^H1324 and every ^H259 laver ^H3595 was four ^H702 cubits: ^H520 and upon every one ^H259 of the ten ^H6235 bases ^H4350 one ^H259 laver. ^H3595 And he put ^H5414 five ^H2568 bases ^H4350 on the right ^H3225 side ^H3802 of the house, ^H1004 and five ^H2568 on the left ^H8040 side ^H3802 of the house: ^H1004 and he set ^H5414 the sea ^H3220 on the right ^H3233 side ^H3802 of the house ^H1004 eastward ^H6924 over against ^H4136 the south. ^H5045 And Hiram ^H2438 made ^H6213 the lavers, ^H3595 and the shovels, ^H3257 and the basons. ^H4219 So Hiram ^H2438 made ^H3615 an end of doing ^H6213 all the work ^H4399 that he made ^H6213 king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 for the house ^H1004 of the LORD: ^H3068 The two ^H8147 pillars, ^H5982 and the two bowls ^H1543 of the chapiters ^H3805 that were on the top ^H7218 of the two ^H8147 pillars; ^H5982 and the two ^H8147 networks, ^H7639 to cover ^H3680 the two ^H8147 bowls ^H1543 of the chapiters ^H3805 which were upon the top ^H7218 of the pillars; ^H5982 And four ^H702 hundred ^H3967 pomegranates ^H7416 for the two ^H8147 networks, ^H7639 even two ^H8147 rows ^H2905 of pomegranates ^H7416 for one ^H259 network, ^H7639 to cover ^H3680 the two ^H8147 bowls ^H1543 of the chapiters ^H3805 that were upon ^H6440 the pillars; ^H5982 And the ten ^H6235 bases, ^H4350 and ten ^H6235 lavers ^H3595 on the bases; ^H4350 And one ^H259 sea, ^H3220 and twelve ^H8147 ^H6240 oxen ^H1241 under the sea; ^H3220 And the pots, ^H5518 and the shovels, ^H3257 and the basons: ^H4219 and all these vessels, ^H3627 which Hiram ^H2438 made ^H6213 to king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 for the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 were of bright ^H4178 brass. ^H5178 In the plain ^H3603 of Jordan ^H3383 did the king ^H4428 cast ^H3332 them, in the clay ^H4568 ground ^H127 between Succoth ^H5523 and Zarthan. ^H6891 And Solomon ^H8010 left ^H3240 all the vessels ^H3627 unweighed, because they were exceeding ^H3966 ^H3966 many: ^H7230 neither was the weight ^H4948 of the brass ^H5178 found out. ^H2713 And Solomon ^H8010 made ^H6213 all the vessels ^H3627 that pertained unto the house ^H1004 of the LORD: ^H3068 the altar ^H4196 of gold, ^H2091 and the table ^H7979 of gold, ^H2091 whereupon the shewbread ^H3899 ^H6440 was, And the candlesticks ^H4501 of pure ^H5462 gold, ^H2091 five ^H2568 on the right ^H3225 side, and five ^H2568 on the left, ^H8040 before ^H6440 the oracle, ^H1687 with the flowers, ^H6525 and the lamps, ^H5216 and the tongs ^H4457 of gold, ^H2091 And the bowls, ^H5592 and the snuffers, ^H4212 and the basons, ^H4219 and the spoons, ^H3709 and the censers ^H4289 of pure ^H5462 gold; ^H2091 and the hinges ^H6596 of gold, ^H2091 both for the doors ^H1817 of the inner ^H6442 house, ^H1004 the most ^H6944 holy ^H6944 place, and for the doors ^H1817 of the house, ^H1004 to wit, of the temple. ^H1964 So was ended ^H7999 all the work ^H4399 that king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 made ^H6213 for the house ^H1004 of the LORD. ^H3068 And Solomon ^H8010 brought in ^H935 the things which David ^H1732 his father ^H1 had dedicated; ^H6944 even the silver, ^H3701 and the gold, ^H2091 and the vessels, ^H3627 did he put ^H5414 among the treasures ^H214 of the house ^H1004 of the LORD. ^H3068

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28 Matthew Henry Commentary

John Gill Keil & Delitzsch Robert Jamieson: Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Chapter 28

The account we have of David's exit, in the beginning of the first book of Kings, does not make his sun nearly so bright as that given in this and the following chapter, where we have his solemn farewell both to his son and his subjects, and must own that he finished well. In this chapter we have,

I. A general convention of the states summoned to meet (v. 1).
II. A solemn declaration of the divine entail both of the crown and of the honour of building the temple upon Solomon (v. 2-7).
III. An exhortation both to the people and to Solomon to make religion their business (v. 8-10).
IV. The model and materials delivered to Solomon for the building of the temple (v. 11-19).
V. Encouragement given him to undertake it and proceed in it (v. 20, 21).

1Ch 28:1-10

A great deal of service David had done in his day, had served his generation according to the will of God, Acts 13:36. But now the time draws night that he must die, and, as a type of the Son of David, the nearer he comes to his end the more busy he is, and does his work with all his might. He is now a little recovered from the indisposition mentioned 1 Ki. 1:1, when they covered him with clothes, and he got no heat: but what cure is there for old age? He therefore improves his recovery, as giving him an opportunity of doing God and his country a little more service.

I. He summoned all the great men to attend him, that he might take leave of them all together, v. 1. Thus Moses did (Deu. 31:28), and Joshua, ch. 23:2; 24:1. David would not declare the settlement of the crown but in the presence, and to the satisfaction, of those that were the representatives of the people.
II. He addressed them with a great deal of respect and tenderness. He not only exerted himself to rise from his bed, to give them the meeting (the occasion putting new spirits into him), but he rose out of his chair, and stood up upon his feet (v. 2), in reverence to God whose will he was to declare, and in reverence to this solemn assembly of the Israel of God, as if he looked upon himself, though major singulis-greater than any individual among them, yet minor universis-less than the whole of them together. His age and infirmities, as well as his dignity, might well have allowed him to keep his seat; but he would show that he was indeed humbled for the pride of his heart both in the numbers of his people and his dominion over them. It had been too much his pleasure that they were all his servants (ch. 21:3), but now he calls them his brethren, whom he loved, his people, whom he took care of, not his servants, whom he had command of: Hear me, my brethren, and my people. It becomes superiors thus to speak with affection and condescension even to their inferiors; they will not be the less honoured for it, but the more beloved. Thus he engages their attention to what he was about to say.
III. He declared the purpose he had formed to build a temple for God, and God's disallowing that purpose, v. 2, 3. This he had signified to Solomon before, ch. 22:7, 8. A house of rest for the ark is here said to be a house of rest for the footstool of our God; for heaven is his throne of glory; the earth, and the most magnificent temples that can be built upon it, are but his footstool: so much difference is there between the manifestations of the divine glory in the upper and lower world. Angels surround his throne, Isa. 6:1. We poor worms do but worship at his footstool Ps. 99:5; 132:7. As an evidence of the sincerity of his purpose to build the temple, he tells them that he had made ready for it, but that God would not suffer him to proceed because he had appointed other work for him to do, which was enough for one man, namely, the managing of the wars of Israel. He must serve the public with the sword; another must do it with the line and plummet. Times of rest are building times, Acts 9:31.
IV. He produced his own title first, and then Solomon's, to the crown; both were undoubtedly jure divino-divine. They could make out such a title as no monarch on earth can; the Lord God of Israel chose them both immediately, by prophecy, not providence, v. 4, 5. No right of primogeniture is pretended. Detur digniori, non seniori-It went by worth, not by age.
- 1. Judah was not the eldest son of Jacob, yet God chose that tribe to be the ruling tribe; Jacob entailed the sceptre upon it, Gen. 49:10.
- 2. It does not appear that the family of Jesse was the senior house of that tribe; from Judah it is certain that it was not, for Shelah was before Pharez; whether from Nahshon and Salmon is not certain. Ram, the father of Nahshon, had a elder brother, 1 Chr. 2:9. Perhaps so had Boaz, Obed, and Jesse. Yet "God chose the house of my father.'
- 3. David was the youngest son of Jesse, yet God liked him to make him king; so it seemed good unto him. God takes whom he likes, and likes whom he makes like himself, as he did David, a man after his own heart.
- 4. Solomon was one of the youngest sons of David, and yet God chose him to sit upon the throne, because he was the likeliest of them all to build the temple, the wisest and best inclined.
V. He opened to them God's gracious purposes concerning Solomon (v. 6, 7): I have chosen him to be my son. Thus he declares the decree, that the Lord had said to Solomon, as a type of Christ, Thou art my son (Ps. 2:7), the son of my love; for he was called Jedidiah, because the Lord loved him, and Christ is his beloved Son. Of him God said, as a figure of him that was to come,
- 1. He shall build my house. Christ is both the founder and the foundation of the gospel temple.
- 2. I will establish his kingdom for ever. This must have its accomplishment in the kingdom of the Messiah, which shall continue in his hands through all the ages of time (Isa. 9:7; Lu. 1:33) and shall then be delivered up to God, even the Father, yet perhaps to be delivered back to the Redeemer for ever. As to Solomon, this promise of the establishment of his kingdom is here made conditional: If he be constant to do my commandments, as at this day. Solomon was now very towardly and good: "If he continue so, his kingdom shall continue, otherwise not.' Note, If we be constant to our duty, then, and not otherwise, we may expect the continuance of God's favour. Let those that are well taught, and begin well, take notice of this-if they be constant, they are happy; perseverance wears the crown, though it wins it not.
VI. He charged them to adhere stedfastly to God and their duty, v. 8. Observe,
- 1. The matter for this charge: Keep, and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God. The Lord was their God; his commandments must be their rule; they must have respect to them all, must make conscience of keeping them, and, in order thereunto, must seek for them, that is, must be inquisitive concerning their duty, search the scriptures, take advice, seek the law at the mouth of those whose lips were to keep this knowledge, and pray to God to teach and direct them. God's commandments will not be kept without great care.
- 2. The solemnity of it. He charged them in the sight of all Israel, who would all have notice of this public charge, and in the audience of their God. "God is witness, and this congregation is witness, that they have good counsel given them, and fair warning; if they do not take it, it is their fault, and God and man will be witnesses against them.' See 1 Tim. 5:21; 2 Tim. 4:1. Those that profess religion, as they tender the favour of God and their reputation with men, must be faithful to their profession.
- 3. The motive to observe this charge. It was the way to be happy, to have the peaceable possession of this good land themselves and to preserve the entail of it upon their children.
VII. He concluded with a charge to Solomon himself, v. 9, 10. He was much concerned that Solomon should be religious. He was to be a great man, but he must not think religion below him-a wise man, and this would be his wisdom. Observe,
- 1. The charge he gives him. He must look upon God and the God of his father, his good father, who had devoted him to God and educated him for God. He was born in God's house and therefore bound in duty to be his, brought up in his house and therefore bound in gratitude. Thy own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not. He must know God and serve him. We cannot serve God aright if we do not know him; and in vain do we know him if we do not serve him, serve him with heart and mind. We make nothing of religion if we do not mind it, and make heart-work of it. Serve him with a perfect, that is, an upright heart (for sincerity is our gospel perfection), and with a willing mind, from a principle of love, and as a willing people, cheerfully and with pleasure.
- 2. The arguments to enforce this charge.
  - (1.) Two arguments of general inducement:-
    - [1.] That the secrets of our souls are open before God; he searches all hearts, even the hearts of kings, which to men are unsearchable, Prov. 25:3. We must therefore be sincere, because, if we deal deceitfully, God sees it, and cannot be imposed upon; we must therefore employ our thoughts, and engage them in God's service, because he fully understands all the imaginations of them, both good and bad.
    - [2.] That we are happy or miserable here, and for ever, according as we do, or do not, serve God. If we seek him diligently, he will be found of us, and that is enough to make us happy, Heb. 11:6. If we forsake him, desert his service and turn from following him, he will cast us off for ever, and that is enough to make us miserable. Note, God never casts any off till they have first cast him off. Here is,
  - (2.) One argument peculiar to Solomon (v. 10): "Thou art to build a house for the sanctuary; therefore seek and serve God, that that work may be done from a good principle, in a right manner, and may be accepted.'
- 3. The means prescribed in order hereunto, and they are prescribed to us all.
  - (1.) Caution: Take heed; beware of every thing that looks like, or leads to, that which is evil.
  - (2.) Courage: Be strong, and do it. We cannot do our work as we should unless we put on resolution, and fetch in strength from divine grace.

1Ch 28:11-21

As for the general charge that David gave his son to seek God and serve him, the book of the law was, in that, his only rule, and there needed no other; but, in building the temple, David was now to give him three things:-

1. A model of the building, because it was to be such a building as neither he nor his architects ever saw. Moses had a pattern of the tabernacle shown him in the mount (Heb. 8:5), so had David of the temple, by the immediate hand of God upon him, v. 19. It was given him in writing, probably by the ministry of an angel, or as clearly and exactly represented to his mind as if it had been in writing. But it is said (v. 12), He had this pattern by the Spirit. The contrivance either of David's devotion or of Solomon's wisdom must not be trusted to in an affair of this nature. The temple must be a sacred thing and a type of Christ; there must be in it not only convenience and decency, but significancy: it was a kind of sacrament, and therefore it must not be left to man's art or invention to contrive it, but must be framed by divine institution. Christ the true temple, the church the gospel temple, and heaven the everlasting temple, are all framed according to the divine councils, and the plan laid in the divine wisdom, ordained before the world for God's glory and ours. This pattern David gave to Solomon, that he might know what to provide and might go by a certain rule. When Christ left with his disciples a charge to build his gospel church he gave them an exact model of it, ordering them to observe that, and that only, which he commanded. The particular models are here mentioned, of the porch, which was higher than the rest, like a steeple,-then the houses, both the holy place and the most holy, with the rooms adjoining, which were for treasuries, chambers, and parlours,-especially the place of the mercy-seat (v. 11),-of the courts likewise, and the chambers about them, in which the dedicated things were laid up. Bishop Patrick supposes that, among other things, the tabernacle which Moses reared and all the utensils of it, which there was now no further occasion for, were laid up here, signifying that in the fulness of time all the Mosaic economy, all the rites and ceremonies of that dispensation, should be respectfully laid aside, and something better come in their room. He gave him a table of the courses of the priests, patterns of the vessels of service (v. 13), and a pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, v. 18. Besides the two cherubim over the mercy-seat, there were two much larger, whose wings reached from wall to wall (1 Ki. 6:23, etc.), and of these David here gave Solomon the pattern, called a chariot; for the angels are the chariots of God, Ps. 68:17.
2. Materials for the most costly of the utensils of the temple. That they might not be made any less than the patterns, he weighed out the exact quantity for each vessel both of gold and silver, v. 14. In the tabernacle there was but one golden candlestick; in the temple there were ten (1 Ki. 7:49), besides silver ones, which, it is supposed, were hand-candlesticks, v. 15. In the tabernacle there was but one table; but in the temple, besides that on which the show-bread was set, there were ten others for other uses (2 Chr. 4:8), besides silver tables; for, this house being much larger than that, it would look bare if it had not furniture proportionable. The gold for the altar of incense is particularly said to be refined gold (v. 18), purer than any of the rest; for that was typical of the intercession of Christ, than which nothing is more pure and perfect.
3. Directions which way to look for help in this great undertaking. "Fear not opposition; fear not the charge, care, and trouble; fear not miscarrying in it, as in the case of Uzza; fear not the reproach of the foolish builder, that began to build and was not able to finish. Be not dismayed.
- (1.) God will help thee, and thou must look up to him in the first place (v. 20): The Lord God, even my God, whom I have chosen and served, who has all along been present with me and prospered me, and to whom, from my own experience of his power and goodness, I recommend thee, he will be with thee, to direct, strengthen, and prosper thee; he will not fail thee nor forsake thee.' Note, We may be sure that God, who owned our fathers and carried them through the services of their day, will, in like manner, if we be faithful to him, go along with us in our day, and will never leave us, while he has any work to do in us or by us. The same that was Joshua's encouragement (Jos. 1:5), and Solomon's, is given to all believers, Heb. 13:5. He will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. God never leaves any unless they first leave him.
- (2.) "Good men will help thee, v. 21. The priests and Levites will advise thee, and thou mayest consult them. Thou hast good workmen, who are both willing and skilful;' and these are two very good properties in a workman, especially in those that work at the temple. And, lastly, "The princes and the people will be so far from opposing or retarding the work that they will be wholly at thy command, every one in his place ready to further it.' Then good work is likely to go on when all parties concerned are hearty in it, and none secretly clog it, but all drive on heartily in it.
