David prepareth for the building of the temple, 1Ch_22:1-5: instructeth Solomon in God’s promises and his duty, 1Ch_22:6-16. He chargeth the princes to assist his son, 1Ch_22:17-19.
Then David said; partly by his observation of this gracious and glorious appearance of God, and his command to erect an altar, and his acceptance of a sacrifice offered in this place; and partly by the instinct and direction of God’s’ Spirit, by which, as he is said to have had the pattern of the house, porch, altar, &c., 1Ch_28:11,12,19; so doubtless he was also instructed as to the place where the house should be built. This is the house of the Lord God; this is the place appointed by God for the building of his temple and altar.
