It is divided into 19 verses. Textual witnesses Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008).Würthwein 1995 35-37 Extant manuscripts of a Koine Greek translation known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE, include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century).Würthwein 1995 73–74The extant Codex Sinaiticus only contains 1 Chronicles 9:27–19:17.Würthwein Ernst Der Text des Alten Testaments Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft 2nd Stuttgart 1988 85 3-438-06006-XSwete Henry Barclay An Introduction to the Old Testament in Greek Macmillan and Co.

Biblehub "The Sidonians and Tyrians": were mentioned as those who brought cedar wood, a reminiscent of King Hiram I(1 Chronicles 14:1), in parallel with Ezra 3:7 that the Sidonians and Tyrians were also providing timber (cedar wood) for the second temple.Mathys 2007 279 Verse 5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.1 Chronicles 22:5 KJV KJV "Solomon": of David's numerous sons (1 Chronicles 3:1–4; 14:3–7) is one of the youngest (1 Samuel 20:31; 2 Samuel 13:21; 1 Kings 1:12, 17; 2:22).Coogan 2007 608 Hebrew Bible "Young and tender": Solomon was regarded by David in a similar manner to Solomon's own admission while in prayer at Gibeon (1 Kings 3:7), especially about Solomon's youth and inexperience, which is considered as a literary theme, not a pointer to his actual age, nor to his ability to rule the nation, but particularly to his capability in building the temple.Mathys 2007 279 Therefore, David took the responsibility to prepare the construction. Solomon anointed to build the temple (22:6–19) The section contains two speeches by David, the first one to Solomon (verses 6–16) and the second to the leaders of Israel (verses 17–19).Mathys 2007 279 The speech to Solomon parallels David's final decrees in 1 Kings 2 and quotes the dynastic promise in 1 Chronicles 17 (cf. 2 Samuel 7), with the explanation why David was not permitted to build the temple (verse 8).Mathys 2007 279Coogan 2007 608 Hebrew Bible Only David's call to 'abide by the law and act courageously' (1 Kings 2:2–3) is transmitted here.Mathys 2007 279 The relationship between David and Solomon in the Chronicles resembles that of Moses and Joshua.Mathys 2007 279 The encouragement given by David to Solomon for the forthcoming work, forecasting success if he faithfully follows God and confirms God's presence (verses 11–13) resembles the message in Joshua 1 regarding Joshua's succession to Moses (also using the terms 'the LORD be with you' and 'success').Mathys 2007 279 Verse 8 but the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have made great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight.1 Chronicles 22:8 NKJV NKJVMathys 2007 279 Nathan's prophecy in 2 Samuel 7 and 1 Chronicles 17 does not provide the explanation why David was not allowed to build the temple. In 1 Kings 5:3 9 Solomon stated that David was impeded from carrying out his plan, because of his long warfare with the surrounding nations.Mathys 2007 279 In the Chronicles, the statement is transformed to a greater principle, that is, because David as a warrior had shed much blood, he was forbidden to build the temple. The reason is simply to exclude the blemish of bloodshed from the temple's construction.Mathys 2007 279 Verse 9 Behold, a son shall be born to you who shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his surrounding enemies. For his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.1 Chronicles 22:9 ESV ESV Using wordplay, "Solomon" (he שְׁלֹמֹה֙, shə-lō-mōh H 8010,1 Chronicles 22:9 Hebrew text analysis. Biblehub meaning: "peaceful"Note on 1 Chronicles 22:9 in NKJV) was to be given "peace" (he שָׁל֥וֹם, shā-lōm H 7965), and, as a "man of rest" (he איש מנוחה, ’îsh H 376 mə-nū-chāh H 4496), was to be given "rest" (he נוּחַ, nuach H 5117), so he could build the temple.Mathys 2007 279Coogan 2007 608 Hebrew Bible This was to fulfill the precondition in Deuteronomy 12 9 that the sacrificial services could take place when Israel had "rest" from its enemies.Mathys 2007 279 See also 22em David's Mighty Warriors House of David Jerusalem Solomon's Temple Bible Related Bible parts: Deuteronomy 22, Joshua 1, 2 Samuel 7, 1 Kings 5, 1 Chronicles 17 Notes References Sources Ackroyd Peter R Chronicles, Books of Metzger Bruce M Bruce M.
