How preachers through history handled this text
7 public-domain excerpts on 1 Chronicles 29, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“We cannot form a right idea of the magnificence of the temple, and the buildings around it, about which such quantities of gold and silver were employed. But the unsearchable riches of Christ exceed the splendour of the temple, infinitely more than that surpassed the meanest cottage on earth. Instead of boasting of these large oblations, David gave solemn thanks to the Lord. All they gave for the Lord's temple was his own; if they attempted to keep it, death would soon have removed them from it. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 1 Chronicles 29:10–19 (Public Domain)
