1 Chron 22:2–5 To prepare for building the temple, David recruited resident aliens as forced laborers (see 2 Sam. 20:24; see notes on 2 Chron. 2:2; 8:7–10). Items taken in war provided some of the material (see 1 Chron. 18:8). These events happened in the last years of David’s life, when Solomon was still young and inexperienced (22:5).
1 Chron 22:6–16 Through private instruction, David prepares Solomon for his demanding duty as king. David refers back to the dynastic promise (17:7–14). Solomon’s reign will be the promised time of peace and quiet for Israel (see also Deut. 12:10–11).
1 Chron 22:11–13 David emphasizes Solomon’s need to keep the Law of Moses in ruling his kingdom. Be strong and courageous. Fear not. See Deut. 31:7–8 and Josh. 1:9.
1 Chron 22:14 In addition to gathering other materials for the temple, David gives 3,000 talents of gold and 7,000 talents of silver from his own treasure (29:3–4).
