Notes

1 Chronicles 28:2–10

David's first speech includes a message to his people (1 Chronicles 28:2–8) and a message to Solomon (28:9–10). The main focus is David's wish for Solomon to build a temple. David also discusses two other important themes: God's choice of Solomon and the people's duty to follow God's commandments.

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).
