Be careful now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong and do it.”
A great deal of service David had done in his day, had served his generation according to the will of God, Act 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.
Commenting on 1 Chronicles 28:1-10
Take heed now,.... Of offending God by forsaking him; or see, consider, and observe now what he was further about to say to him, concerning the building of the temple, as follows: for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary; a temple for the ark, called the sanctuary, Num 7:9 the Targum is, the Word of the Lord hath chosen thee, &c.
Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it]. (f) Meaning, for his ark. (g) Put it in execution.
