G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 29:1-30

This is the account of the final stage in the greatest work of David's life, namely, his preparation for building the Temple. The king had a treasure of his own, over and above what he had gathered for the house of God. Because of his affection for the work of God, this treasure also he dedicated thereto. This is illuminative, showing the true method of giving. It is when "my affection" is set on the work of "my God" that "my treasure" is at His Disposal. And yet, again, it is when such is... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:11-12

1 Chronicles 29:11-12 The conclusion of the Lord's Prayer is not to be considered altogether as an act of thanksgiving or an expression of God's praise and glory; it is rather intended to imply on our part the reasons for our assurance that God will grant our petitions. It is attributing to God the power to aid us, and our grounds for confidence that He will do so. I. To be allowed to give praise and glory to God is indeed a great privilege and blessing, and most becoming in us when God answers... read more

See the arguments to the books of Samuel, and of Kings. Each prophet wrote a book; but it is very probable, as some affirm, that Nathan and Gad in succession completed the books of Samuel. The rabbins deeply lament the loss of their sacred book. REFLECTIONS. David having delivered to Solomon,... read more
