1 Chron 29:1–9 The temple is referred to as a palace (v. 1), for it is God’s kingly residence among his people. David calls for freewill offerings from the people, to show that they are consecrating themselves to Yahweh (see v. 5, esv footnote; it is the same expression used to describe the ordination of priests, Ex. 28:41).

1 Chron 29:7 darics. The daric was a Persian coin first minted under Darius I (522–486 b.c.). The Chronicler uses this word, which his own generation would have understood, to encourage them in giving.

1 Chron 29:10–19 David’s great prayer of praise and his humble request marks the high point of his reign. David says that God examines the human heart for uprightness, that is, integrity (v. 17).

1 Chron 29:22 they made Solomon the son of David king the second time. Solomon had been quickly anointed and installed as king in response to Adonijah’s attempted coup (1 Kings 1:28–40, not mentioned in Chronicles). This second ceremony occurred when his kingship was secure and widely acknowledged (1 Chron. 29:24).

1 Chron 29:23 The Lord has done for Solomon what he had earlier done for David (14:2). This is one way God kept his promise to David (1 Kings 2:24).

1 Chron 29:26–30 See 1 Kings 2:10–11. The various Chronicles mentioned in 1 Chron. 29:29 probably contained much of the material in the books of Samuel and Kings. They may have included additional records too (see note on 1 Kings 14:19). Samuel, Nathan, and Gad all played roles in David’s life (see 1 Chron. 9:22; 17:1–15; 21:9–13). The kingdoms of the countries most likely refers to the surrounding nations that David had conquered.
