How preachers through history handled this text

8 public-domain excerpts on 1 Chronicles 28, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Matthew Henry 3 Spurgeon 3 Alexander MacLaren 1 John Wesley 1

“The temple must be a sacred thing, and a type of Christ; it must be framed by Divine teaching. Christ is the true temple, the church is the gospel temple, and heaven the everlasting temple; all are framed according to the Divine counsels, and the plan laid in the Divine wisdom, ordained before the world, for God's glory and our good. David gave this pattern to Solomon, that he might go by rule. Materials were provided for the most costly utensils of the temple. Directions were given which way to look for help in this great undertaking. …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 1 Chronicles 28:11–30 (Public Domain)
