Contextual Overview

10 Then David praised the Lord in front of all the people who were gathered together. David said, " Lord , the God of Israel, our Father, may you be praised forever and ever! 11 Greatness, power, glory, victory, and honor belong to you, because everything in heaven and on earth belongs to you! The kingdom belongs to you, Lord ! You are the head, the Ruler over everything. 12 Riches and honor come from you. You rule everything. You have the power and strength in your hand! And in your hand is the power to make anyone great and powerful! 13 Now, our God, we thank you, and we praise your glorious name! 14 All these things didn't come from me and my people. All these things come from you. We are only giving back to you things that came from you. 15 We are only strangers traveling through this world like our ancestors. Our time on earth is like a passing shadow, and we cannot stop it. 16 Lord our God, we gathered all these things to build your Temple. We build it to honor your name. But all these things have come from you. Everything belongs to you. 17 My God, I know that you test people, and that you are happy when people do what is right. I gladly give you all these things with a pure, honest heart. I see your people gathered here, and I see that they are happy about giving these things to you. 18 Lord , you are the God of our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Please help your people plan the right things. Help them be loyal and true to you. 19 And help my son Solomon be true to you. Help him always obey your commands, laws, and rules. Help Solomon do these things. And help him build this Temple that I have planned."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared,.... Of gold, silver, c. that he and his people had provided and contributed: the gold, according to Jacob Leon r, amounted to 59,766 tons of gold, and 46,123 gilders, each ton to be reckoned at least 1000 pounds sterling the silver, reduced to the value of gold, made 46,337 tons, and two hundred and fifty gilders; but both, according to Witsius s, amounted to 20,585 tons of gold; and if the talents were talents of the sanctuary, and they double the common talents, as some say they were, it was as much more, and may well be expressed by

all this store, besides the brass, iron, c.

to build thee an house for thine holy name to perform holy and religious worship in it, for the glory of his name: cometh of

thine hand, and [is] all thine own: this he repeats, that God might have all the glory of all they had and did.

r Relation of Memorable Things in the Tabernacle and Temple, ch. 3. p. 14, 15. s Miscellan. tom. 2. p. 258.
