1 Chronicles 29:1-10 Furthermore David the king said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender… It is of one of the noble qualities of the religious life of the Jews I would speak — their love for the house of God. I. THE HOUSE OF GOD. The house of worship is the house of God. II. BECAUSE THE ANCIENT JEWS LOVED THE LORD'S HOUSE THEY MADE IT BEAUTIFUL. This was natural, lawful, and Divinely sanctioned. This impulse was recognised, called out, and approved by God. III. IT WAS A GENERAL AFFECTION EXERCISED AND EXPRESSED BY ALL THE PEOPLE. (Henry J. VanDyke.) Parallel Verses KJV: Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God. |
