Commentaries
29:1-9 What is done in works of piety and charity, should be done willingly, not by constraint; for God loves a cheerful giver. David set a good example. This David offered, not from constraint, or for show; but because he had set his affection to the house of God, and thought he could never do enough towards promoting that good work. Those who would draw others to good, must lead the way themselves.

6-8. Then the chief of the fathers—or heads of the fathers (1Ch 24:31; 27:1).

princes of the tribes—(1Ch 27:16-22).

rulers of the king's work—those who had charge of the royal demesnes and other possessions (1Ch 27:25-31).

offered willingly—Influenced by the persuasive address and example of the king, they acted according to their several abilities, and their united contributions amounted to the gross sum—of gold 5,000 talents and 10,000 drams; and of silver, 10,000 talents, besides brass and iron.
