1 Chronicles 28:19

1 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 1 Chronicles 28:19 in writing from the hand of the LORD. David may be claiming prophetic inspiration for his temple plans (compare 2 Chronicles 29:25). Or, he may be making a stronger claim: that God actually gave him the temple plans in writing (compare Exodus 24:12; Exodus 31:18).
