Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.
We may here observe, I. How handsomely David spoke to the great men of Israel, to engage them to contribute towards the building of the temple. It is our duty to provoke one another to love and to good works, not only to do good ourselves, but to draw in others to do good too as much as we can.
Commenting on 1 Chronicles 29:1-9
And they with whom precious stones were found,.... Such as are mentioned Ch1 29:2. gave them to the treasure of the house of the Lord; to be laid up there: by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite; who, and his sons, had the care of that treasury, Ch1 27:21.
and they with whom precious stones were found--rather, "whatever was found along with it of precious stones they gave" [BERTHEAU]. These gifts were deposited in the hands of Jehiel, whose family was charged with the treasures of the house of the Lord (Ch1 26:21).
