Contextual Overview

1 David then said, "This is the place where the temple of the Lord God will be, along with the altar for burnt sacrifices for Israel." 2 David ordered the resident foreigners in the land of Israel to be called together. He appointed some of them to be stonecutters to chisel stones for the building of God's temple. 3 David supplied a large amount of iron for the nails of the doors of the gates and for braces, more bronze than could be weighed, 4 and more cedar logs than could be counted. (The Sidonians and Tyrians had brought a large amount of cedar logs to David.) 5 David said, "My son Solomon is just an inexperienced young man, and the temple to be built for the Lord must be especially magnificent so it will become famous and be considered splendid by all the nations. Therefore I will make preparations for its construction." So David made extensive preparations before he died.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings,.... Great plenty of iron to make nails of for joining the boards together, of which the doors and gates were to be made, and for the fastening of the hinges of them:

and brass in abundance without weight; for making the altar of brass, and the laver of brass, and other vessels. Brass was much used by the Heathens in sacred things, as Macrobius p observes.

p Saturnal. l. 5. c. 19.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For the joinings - i. e., the girders, or cramps - pieces of iron to be used in joining beams or stones together.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 22:3. Irons - for the nails, &c. — Iron for bolts, bars, hinges, &c., &c.
