Firstly, we’ll look at the story of the chapter. Then we’ll look what it is a picture of. For many years David had been collecting all the materials with which the glorious Temple of God would be built by his son Solomon. Notice that the word “all” is used in the chapter 22 Times. It is the summary of David’s part of the great undertaking. Now the picture. King David is a picture of the Lord Jesus Who, when He was here, did the great work of redemption. He destroyed Satan’s power over death by His dying on the cross. That work is all completed. Solomon is a picture of the time when Christ will return, with us, to reign over this world. Solomon had a reign of peace. Christ will reign on earth for 1,000 years.
V.5 The invitation to volunteer to work on the building of the Temple.
V.6-8 The response.
V.9 They “all” rejoice, from the king downward.
V.10-12 Concludes with glory to God.
V.14,15 David realizes how small he is compared with God!
V.18 May this verse grip our heart and mind too. The unconditional promises of blessing for Israel had first been given to Abraham. David wants the people never to forget this.
V.20-25 Everyone is of one mind in knowing and acknowledging that God was the source of all their blessing, and therefore to Him should be all the praise and worship.
V.26-30 David disappears, his work completed. He has put Solomon on the throne.
