SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:7
Y dijo David a Salomón: Hijo mío, en mi corazón tuve el edificar templo al nombre del SEÑOR mi Dios.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. And David said to Solomon , etc.] When brought into his presence: my son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God ; he was disposed and inclined to it, and was once determined upon it, (see 2 Samuel 7:2,3).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-16 - David gives Solomon the reason why he should build the temple. Becaus God named him. Nothing is more powerful to engage us in any service for God, than to know that we are appointed thereto. Because he would have leisure and opportunity to do it. He should have peace and quietness Where God gives rest, he expects work. Because God had promised to establish his kingdom. God's gracious promises should quicken an strengthen our religious service. David delivered to Solomon an accoun of the vast preparations he had made for this building; not from prid and vain-glory, but to encourage Solomon to engage cheerfully in the great work. He must not think, by building the temple, to purchase dispensation to sin; on the contrary, his doing that would not be accepted, if he did not take heed to fulfil the statutes of the Lord In our spiritual work, as well as in our spiritual warfare, we have need of courage and resolution. (1Ch 22:17-19)
