David, foreknowing the place of the temple, prepares abundance for building it.6. He instructs Solomon in God's promises, and his duty in building the temple. 17. He charges the princes to assist his son David provided The Hebrew root for "provided" is "kun," which means to establish, prepare, or make ready. This word reflects David's intentional and proactive role in preparing for the construction of the temple. Despite being a man of war, David's heart was set on establishing a place for God's presence, demonstrating his deep devotion and foresight. His actions remind us of the importance of preparation and dedication in our service to God. a large quantity of iron to make the nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings and more bronze than could be weighed For the doors of the gates.--he doors were to be what we call folding-doors (1Kings 6:34-35). For the joinings.--Literally, things that couple, or connect (feminine participle): i.e., iron clamps and hinges. In 2Chronicles 34:11 the same term is used of wooden clamps or braces. And brass.--Bronze, which was much used in the ornamental work of ancient buildings. Comp. the plates of bronze which once adorned the doors of the temple of Shalmaneser II. (B.C. 854), at Balawat, and are now in the British Museum. Sennacherib, in a later age (B.C. 700), describes the doors of his palace at Nineveh as "overlaid with shining bronze." Without weight.--A natural hyperbole. The actual amounts would, of course, be known to the royal treasurers. (Comp. the common use of the phrases la niba, la mani "without number," "without measure," in Assyrian accounts of spoils and captives.) Verse 3. - Iron... the joinings; and brass. The very first Bible mention of metals (Genesis 4:22) places these two together. Whence Solomon got his "abundance" of the latter we have read in 1 Chronicles 18:8; for the "abundance' of the former he would not necessarily go further than his own land. Although the expression, "the land whose stones are iron" (Deuteronomy 8:9), is possibly enough a poetical figure where it stands, yet some of the force of the figure may have sprung from its nearness to fact. The abundant use of iron in a great variety of tools, implements, weapons, and the knowledge of it in bar and sheet, might be illustrated from a large number of quotations from Scripture (Deuteronomy 19:5; Deuteronomy 27:5; 2 Samuel 12:31; 2 Kings 6:5; Isaiah 10:34; Amos 1:3; and many others). The "joinings" were the clamps and plates of various size and shape, which held strongly together, whether beams of wood or blocks of stone.Parallel Commentaries ...
