John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 8. And they with whom precious stones were found , etc.] Such as are mentioned ( 1 Chronicles 29:2) gave them to the treasure of the house of the Lord ; to be laid up there: by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite ; who, and his sons, had the care of that treasury, ( 1 Chronicles 27:21,22).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - What is done in works of piety and charity, should be done willingly not by constraint; for God loves a cheerful giver. David set a goo example. This David offered, not from constraint, or for show; but because he had set his affection to the house of God, and thought he could never do enough towards promoting that good work. Those who woul draw others to good, must lead the way themselves.
