This phrase emphasizes the comprehensive nature of David's vision, which was not merely architectural but spiritual. David's role as a king and prophet is highlighted here, as he received the plans through the Spirit (<a href="/1_chronicles/28-19.htm">1 Chronicles 28:19</a>). This mirrors Moses receiving the tabernacle's design from God (<a href="/exodus/25-9.htm">Exodus 25:9</a>).<p><b>for the courts of the house of the LORD</b><br>The courts were essential for worship and sacrifices, symbolizing access to God. The temple courts were where the Israelites gathered for communal worship, reflecting the importance of community in faith. The courts also prefigure the New Testament concept of the church as a gathering of believers (<a href="/hebrews/10-25.htm">Hebrews 10:25</a>).<p><b>for all the surrounding rooms</b><br>These rooms served various functions, including storage and housing for priests. They highlight the temple's role as a center of religious and community life. The detailed planning of these rooms underscores the order and structure God desires in worship, paralleling the orderly worship Paul describes in <a href="/1_corinthians/14-40.htm">1 Corinthians 14:40</a>.<p><b>for the treasuries of the house of God</b><br>The treasuries stored offerings and valuable items dedicated to God. This reflects the principle of stewardship and the importance of dedicating resources to God's service. The treasuries also symbolize the spiritual treasures believers are to store in heaven (<a href="/matthew/6-20.htm">Matthew 6:20</a>).<p><b>and of the dedicated things</b><br>These were items set apart for God's use, emphasizing holiness and consecration. The concept of dedication is central to the biblical narrative, where people and objects are set apart for divine purposes. This foreshadows the New Testament teaching of believers as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God (<a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The King of Israel who received the plans for the temple from the Spirit and passed them to his son Solomon.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>David's son, chosen to build the temple, receiving the plans from his father.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_temple_of_the_lord.htm">The Temple of the LORD</a></b><br>The central place of worship for Israel, symbolizing God's presence among His people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_spirit.htm">The Spirit</a></b><br>Refers to the Holy Spirit, who inspired David with the plans for the temple.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_treasuries.htm">The Treasuries</a></b><br>Areas within the temple designated for storing offerings and dedicated items.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_inspiration_and_guidance.htm">Divine Inspiration and Guidance</a></b><br>Just as the Spirit guided David with the temple plans, believers today are guided by the Holy Spirit in their lives and decisions.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/faithfulness_in_passing_on_god's_instructions.htm">Faithfulness in Passing on God’s Instructions</a></b><br>David’s faithfulness in passing the plans to Solomon emphasizes the importance of mentoring and preparing the next generation for God’s work.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_god's_dwelling_place.htm">The Importance of God’s Dwelling Place</a></b><br>The temple was central to Israel’s worship, reminding us of the importance of prioritizing our relationship with God and His presence in our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/stewardship_of_god's_resources.htm">Stewardship of God’s Resources</a></b><br>The treasuries in the temple signify the importance of managing and dedicating our resources for God’s purposes.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_1_chronicles_28.htm">Top 10 Lessons from 1 Chronicles 28</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_1_chronicles_28_11-12_divine_or_human.htm">How can we confirm the temple blueprint in 1 Chronicles 28:11–12 is divine revelation, not human design, based on historical and archaeological evidence of ancient temples?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_god_forbid_david_from_building.htm">In 1 Chronicles 28:3, why would a God of peace forbid David from building the temple simply because he had shed blood, yet historically use wars and conquests to establish Israel?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_king_hiram_honor_israel's_god.htm">In 2 Chronicles 2:11-12, why does Tyrian King Hiram express devotion to Israel's God when no independent Tyrian records verify such reverence?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/can_science_prove_god_knows_all_thoughts.htm">In 1 Chronicles 28:9, David tells Solomon that God knows every human thought; how can this be scientifically or logically demonstrated, given current understandings of consciousness?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_chronicles/28.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(12) <span class= "bld">And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit.</span>--Rather, <span class= "ital">the pattern of all that was</span> (or <span class= "ital">had come to be</span>)<span class= "ital"> in the spirit with him: i.e.,</span> had come into his mind; the whole design as it lay in his mind.
