1 CHRONICLES 28:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.”
David concludes by affirming that workers and craftsmen are ready and willing, and that "all the leaders and all the people are completely at your command." The assembly's readiness removes obstacles that might discourage Solomon, creating conditions for successful completion of the temple project. The mention of "workers and craftsmen" prepared beforehand indicates that David has already mobilized the practical resources necessary, reducing administrative burden on Solomon. The phrase "leaders and all the people" unites the political and popular support behind Solomon's leadership, establishing consensus that strengthens his authority. The phrase "completely at your command" affirms Solomon's absolute authority over the project and over those who will execute it, preventing rival power centers from undermining his vision. David's final word emphasizes preparation and readiness, suggesting that Solomon's task is not to invent solutions but to activate already-prepared resources and leadership. The verse concludes the charge to Solomon by moving from spiritual exhortation to practical assurance: Solomon has both divine blessing and human support.
