Notes

1 Chronicles 28:11–21

God gave David the plans for the temple through divine inspiration (1 Chronicles 28:19). God also provided plans for the tabernacle in the wilderness (Exodus 25:9) and for Ezekiel's future temple (Ezekiel 40:4).

1 Chronicles 28:1–29:25

The story of Solomon's coronation continues from 1 Chronicles 23:1–2. David, at the height of his power, transfers authority to Solomon (compare 1 Kings 1:1–2:9).
