1 Chronicles 22:2

David Orders a Temple to Be Built

22:2 David ordered the resident foreigners in the land of Israel to be called together. He appointed some of them to be stonecutters to chisel stones for the building of God’s temple.

[4:14]  ¹ tn Heb “the father of Ge Harashim, for they were craftsmen.” The name “Ge Harashim” means “valley of craftsmen.”

[13:10]  ² tn Heb “and the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah.”

[13:10]  ³ tn Heb “because he stretched out his hand over the ark.”

[13:10]  ⁴ sn The modern reader might think God seemed to overreact here, but Israel needed a vivid object lesson of God’s holiness. By loading the ark on a cart, David had violated the instructions in God’s law (Exod 25:12-14; Num 4:5-6, 15). Uzzah’s action, however innocent it may seem, betrayed a certain lack of reverence for God’s presence. God had to remind his people that his holiness could not under any circumstances be violated.

[16:1]  ³ tn Or “tokens of peace”; NIV “fellowship offerings.”
