1 Chronicles 28 is the twenty-eighth chapter of the Books of Chronicles in the Hebrew Bible or the First Book of Chronicles in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. [1] [2] The book is compiled from older sources by an unknown person or group, designated by modern scholars as "the Chronicler", and had the final shape established in late fifth or fourth century BCE. [3] This chapter records David's final speech to all officials of Israel (verses 2–8) and to Solomon (verses 9–10, 20–21), specifically handing him the plans for the temple's construction (verses 11–19). [4] The whole chapter belongs to the section focusing on the kingship of David (1 Chronicles 9:35 to 29:30), [1] which from chapter 22 to the end does not have parallel in 2 Samuel. [5]
This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language. It is divided into 21 verses.
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). [6]
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). [7] [lower-alpha 1]
This section apparently continues from 1 Chronicles 23:1–2. [4] After organizing the administration of his kingdom, David gathers a 'large national convocation' to prepare the reign of Solomon, to enlist the support of the leaders for the new king and to witness his final messages. [11] Such gathering or assembly is often recorded in the Chronicles (1 Chronicles 13:5; 15:3, 2 Chronicles 5:2-3, 11:1; 20:26) [11] God's promise given through Nathan (1 Chronicles 17) was repeated with some individual variations, along with the comparison of David and Solomon being selected for their reigns (verses 4–5) to the system of drawing lots, pointing to YHWH as the active force in creating an eternal kingdom (verses 7–8). [4]
David addressed Solomon briefly in verses 9–10 with an 'adapted tone of a Deuteronomistic theologoumenon', calling his son to serve YHWH with single (undivided) mind and willing heart. [12] In verses 11–19, David transferred to Solomon his plans for the temple's construction, its materials, and all matters related to it, based on God's plans given to Moses in Exodus 25–31. [13] It also resembles the plans of the new temple's construction shown to Ezekiel (Ezekiel 40–44). [13] Then, in verses 20–21, David reminded Solomon of God's presence together with the willing support of the priests, the Levites, and the entire population, that provide an ideal condition for executing the construction plan. [13]
The transitional message from David to Solomon recalls the one from Moses to Joshua, especially for the phrase "be strong and of good courage" (Deuteronomy 31:7; 31:23; Joshua 1:6–18). [15]
