Then David presented his son Solomon with the plans for The Temple complex: porch, storerooms, meeting rooms, and the place for atoning sacrifice. He turned over the plans for everything that God's Spirit had brought to his mind: the design of the courtyards, the arrangements of rooms, and the closets for storing all the holy things. He gave him his plan for organizing the Levites and priests in their work of leading and ordering worship in the house of God, and for caring for the liturgical furnishings. He provided exact specifications for how much gold and silver was needed for each article used in the services of worship: the gold and silver Lampstands and lamps, the gold tables for consecrated bread, the silver tables, the gold forks, the bowls and the jars, and the Incense Altar. And he gave him the plan for sculpting the cherubs with their wings outstretched over the Chest of the Covenant of God —the cherubim throne. "Here are the blueprints for the whole project as God gave me to understand it," David said.

David: He gave him an ichnograph of the building, with elevations, sections and specifications of every part; and all this he himself received by inspiration from God himself - 1 Chronicles 28:12, and 1 Chronicles 28:19, just as Moses had received the plan of the tabernacle.

It may, however, be a Chaldee form of the Hebrew גנז, genez, (from גנז, genaz, to treasure up); the ך being merely formative, as in דך, dech, אלך, illaich, and other Chaldee words. 1 Chronicles 9:26-29, 1 Chronicles 26:20-27, Luke 21:1

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch,.... The breadth, and length, and height of it, which was to be placed at the east end of the temple, and was the entrance into it:

and, of the houses thereof; the holy place, and the most holy, which latter is called the greater house, 2 Chronicles 3:5,

and of the treasures; where things belonging to the temple were laid up, the priests' vestments, and other things:

and of the upper chambers; where the priests lay or met for conversation, Jeremiah 35:2.

and of the inner parlours thereof; where the priests ate of the holy things; all these seem to he buildings against the wall of the temple round about, 1 Kings 6:5

and of the place of the mercy seat: the holy of holies, where that, with the cherubim over it, and the ark under it, were placed.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare 1 Chronicles 28:19. As God had revealed to Moses the pattern of the tabernacle Exodus 26:0; Exodus 27:0, so He had made known by revelation to David the pattern of the temple and its furniture. This pattern, which consisted of a set of directions in writing, David now handed over to Solomon.

The houses - The “holy place” and the “holy of holies “ - called respectively “the house” and the “inner house” 1 Kings 6:17, 1 Kings 6:27, and 2 Chronicles 3:5, 2 Chronicles 3:8 “the greater house” and “the most holy house.”

The upper chambers - Compare 2 Chronicles 3:9 note.

The inner parlours - The small rooms of the “lean-to” (1 Kings 6:5 note), entered one from another.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 28:11. David gave to Solomon - the pattern — He gave him an ichnograph of the building, with elevations, sections, and specifications of every part; and all this he received by inspiration from God himself, (see 1 Chronicles 28:12; 1 Chronicles 28:19,) just as Moses had received the plan of the tabernacle.

The treasuries thereof — גנזכיו ganzaccaiv. The word גנזך ganzach is not Hebrew, but is supposed to be Persian, the same word being found in Esther 3:9. In this tongue we have the word [Persian] ganj, a granary, a hidden treasure, and [Persian] gunjoor, and [Persian] gunjineh, a treasure, treasury, or barn. Parkhurst supposes that it is compounded of גנז ganaz, to treasure up, and זך zach, pure; a treasury for the most precious things.
