Listen from:
V.1-18 David now assembles all the men in positions of responsibility and speaks to them these beautiful words. He reviews his life and God’s thoughts about him. Notice how often he refers to the Lord. If the people kept the words of the Lord they surely would be a great people.
V.9-10 David says to Solomon “know the Lord!” Next, serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind. A perfect heart would mean having a heart with nothing but the Lord in it — pure milk means nothing added. Willing mind means with no will of our own. A mind surrendered to God!
V.11-21 David carefully commits to Solomon (1) the patterns of the temple; (2) the materials wherewith to build it; (3) the details of the holiest of all; (4) the furniture.
V.19 No one part of all this came from David’s mind all came from God Himself!
V.20-21 May we take this final instruction to ourselves.
