1Ch 28:4
28:4 Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the
     house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he
     hath chosen Judah [to be] the ruler; and of the house of
     {b} Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my
     father he liked me to make [me] king over all Israel:

     (b) According to the prophecy of Jacob, @Ge 49:8.

1Ch 28:7
28:7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be
     constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at {c}
     this day.

     (c) If he continues to keep my law as he does now and
         doesn't depart from it.

1Ch 28:8
28:8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation
     of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek
     for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may
     possess this {d} good land, and leave [it] for an
     inheritance for your children after you {e} for ever.

     (d) That is, of Canaan.
     (e) He declares that nothing can separate them from the
         conveniences of this land, both for themselves and
         their posterity except for their sins and iniquity.

28:10 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build {f}
      an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and {g} do [it].

      (g) Put it in execution.

      for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver
      by weight, [both] for the candlestick, and [also] for the
      lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.

      gold for the pattern of {i} the chariot of the cherubims,
      that spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the
      covenant of the LORD.

      (i) Meaning, of the mercy seat that covered the ark, which
          was called the chariot, because the Lord declared
          himself there.

28:19 All [this, said David], the LORD made me understand in
      writing {k} by [his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of
      this pattern.

      (k) For all this was left in writing in the book of the
          Law, @Ex 25:40, which the king was bound to put
          in execution, @De 17:19.

      [even they shall be with thee] for all the service of the
      house of God: and [there shall be] with thee for all
      manner of workmanship {l} every willing skilful man, for
      any manner of service: also the princes and all the people
      [will be] wholly at thy commandment.

      (l) That is, everyone will be ready to help you with those
          gifts that God has given him.
