Gill's Notes on the Bible

And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes,.... Whose names are given in 1 Chronicles 27:16

and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course; monthly, each having 24,000 men under him, whose names are expressed, 1 Chronicles 27:2

and the captains over the thousands; of which there were twenty four in a course, at the head of each 1000, under the chief captain:

and captains over the hundreds: centurions under the second captains:

and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons; whose names may be read in 1 Chronicles 27:25

with the officers: the courtiers:

and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men; both men of valour, and of wealth and riches: these David

assembled unto Jerusalem; the metropolis of the kingdoms and where his court and palace were.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Officer - literally, as in the margin. This is the only occasion in which eunuchs are mentioned in connection with David’s reign; and it is to be remarked that they occupy, during the earlier period of the Jewish kingdom, a very subordinate position.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXVIII

David assembles the princes of Israel, and informs them that

the temple was to be built by Solomon; to whom God had given

the most gracious promises, 1-7.

He exhorts them and him to be obedient to God, that they might

continue to prosper, 8-10.

He gives Solomon a pattern of the work, 11, 12;

directs him concerning the courses of the priests and Levites,

13;

gives also gold, by weight, for the different utensils of the

temple, as God had directed him, 14-19;

encourages Solomon to undertake the work, 20, 21.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXVIII

Verse 1 Chronicles 28:1. David assembled — This refers to the persons whose names and offices we have seen in the preceding chapter.
