1 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 1 Chronicles 29:1 The temple is referred to as a palace (v. 1 Chronicles 29:1), for it is God’s kingly residence among his people. David calls for freewill offerings from the people, to show that they are consecrating themselves to Yahweh (see v. 1 Chronicles 29:5, esv footnote; it is the same expression used to describe the ordination of priests, Exodus 28:41).
