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

And David said to all the congregation,.... Consisting of princes, captains, and officers, 1 Chronicles 28:1

now bless the Lord your God; as he had done, for putting it into the power of their hands, and into their hearts, to do what they had:

and all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers; some one as the mouth of the rest put up a thanksgiving to God, as David directed, to which they all assented, and in which they all joined:

and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the Lord and the king; the one with religious worship, the other with civil; the Syriac and Arabic versions more plainly distinguish, "they worshipped the Lord, and blessed David the king"; though some think Solomon, now made king, is meant.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Worshipped the Lord, and the king - The same outward signs of reverence were accorded by the customs of the Jews (as of the Oriental nations generally) to God and to their monarchs (see 1 Kings 1:31). But the application of the terms to both in the same passage, which occurs nowhere in Scripture but here, is thought to indicate a time when a long servitude under despotic lords had orientalized men’s mode of speech.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 29:20. Worshipped the Lord, and the king. — They did reverence to God as the supreme Ruler, and to the king as his deputy.
