Contextual Overview

10 David praised the Lord in front of all the people who were gathered. He said: "We praise you, Lord , God of our father Israel. We praise you forever and ever. 11 Lord , you are great and powerful. You have glory, victory, and honor. Everything in heaven and on earth belongs to you. The kingdom belongs to you, Lord ; you are the ruler over everything. 12 Riches and honor come from you. You rule everything. You have the power and strength to make anyone great and strong. 13 Now, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name. 14 "These things did not really come from me and my people. Everything comes from you; we have given you back what you gave us. 15 We are like foreigners and strangers, as our ancestors were. Our time on earth is like a shadow. There is no hope. 16 Lord our God, we have gathered all this to build your Temple for worship to you. But everything has come from you; everything belongs to you. 17 I know, my God, that you test people's hearts. You are happy when people do what is right. I was happy to give all these things, and I gave with an honest heart. Your people gathered here are happy to give to you, and I rejoice to see their giving. 18 Lord , you are the God of our ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Make your people want to serve you always, and make them want to obey you. 19 Give my son Solomon a desire to serve you. Help him always obey your commands, laws, and rules. Help him build the Temple for which I have prepared."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But who am I,.... Originally dust and ashes, a sinful creature, unworthy to receive anything from God, and of having the honour of doing anything for him:

and what is my people: subject to him, the least of all people, separated from the nations round about them, and despised by them:

that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? that they, who were a poor people, some years ago brought out of Egyptian bondage, should now be possessed of such an affluence, and have such a generous heart and liberal spirit given them, as to contribute in so large and liberal a manner as they had done; all was owing to the goodness of God to them, and the efficacy of his grace upon them:

for all things come of thee; all good things, temporal and spiritual; the Lord is the fountain of goodness, and Father of mercies:

and of thine own have we given thee; for there is nothing a man has but he has received from the Lord, and therefore can give nothing to him but his own, see Romans 11:35.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 29:14. Of thine own have we given thee. — "For from thy presence all good comes, and of the blessings of thy hands have we given thee."-Targum.
