David, foreknowing the place of the temple, prepares abundance for building it.6. He instructs Solomon in God's promises, and his duty in building the temple. 17. He charges the princes to assist his son Is not the LORD your God with you This phrase emphasizes the presence of God with His people, a recurring theme throughout the Bible. In the Old Testament, God's presence was often associated with the Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle, signifying His dwelling among the Israelites. This assurance of God's presence is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus promises His disciples, "I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). The rhetorical question implies confidence in God's ongoing support and guidance. and has He not granted you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand and the land has been subdued before the LORD and His people Persons / Places / Events 1.

He hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand.--The surrounding people, whose reduction is described in 1 Chronicles 18-20 (Comp. for the phrase, Joshua 2:24.) And the land is subdued before the Lord . . .--The chronicler, or his authority, thinks of passages like Numbers 32:22; Numbers 32:29, and Joshua 18:1. . . . Verse 18. - The whole of this verse should have been suggestive of memories thrilling with interest. What David says here is equivalent to the declaration of the perfect fulfilment of the promises of nine hundred years ago. By faith of those very promises how many generations had lived! What journeyings, suspense, punishment, and struggle, the intervening centuries had witnessed! And now at last it is given to the lip of the aged David to pronounce the termination of a nation's prolonged conflict, its entrance into peace, and the fulfilment of the most impassioned wishes, ima-ginings, end prayers of the patriarchs, of Moses, and of a long line of the faithful. It was well for David that he could not foresee and did not know how near the culminating of a nation's glory and prosperity might be to its woeful fall and prolonged decay. The analogy that obtains in this respect between the history of an individual and of a nation is as remarkable as it should be instructive and turned to the uses of warning.Parallel Commentaries ...
