First Chronicles
1Ch 1:11a Adam vv. 1-4a: Gen. 5:1-32; cf. Luke 3:36b-38
The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles cover the genealogy of mankind from Adam to Abraham and of God’s elect from Abraham to the family of Saul, and the history of Israel from Saul the king to Israel’s return from their captivity. The central thought of these two books is as follows: First, they give us a full chronology of God’s move in man’s history by including the genealogy from Adam to Samuel (cf. the chronology in 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings, which begins with Samuel). This chronology indicates that God’s move in man’s history to prepare the way for God to carry out His eternal economy in humanity is a matter that concerns not only the history of God’s elect but also the history of the entire race of mankind (Matt. 1:1-17; cf. Luke 3:23-38). This is strong evidence that the Christ who was to come as the embodiment of God is not only for the one race chosen by God but for the entire human race created by God. Second, these books present to us some of the important details of God’s dealing with the kings of Judah that are not recorded in 1 and 2 Samuel and in 1 and 2 Kings (see note 51 in 2 Chron. 11). Finally, they portray a complete history of God’s move in man’s history from Adam to Abraham, from Abraham to Samuel, and from Samuel, who brought in the kingship, to Israel’s return from their captivity.

Eph. 3:14-19). See note 401.

The children of Reuben, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh crying out to God that they might defeat their enemies and possess their land is a pattern for us today.

First Chronicles 22:2—29:30 is a supplement to the history of David.
1Ch 22:31a prepared 1 Chron. 29:2, 7
David’s preparing of the materials in abundance for the building of the temple of God typifies Christ’s providing for the building of the church of God with His unsearchable riches (18:7-11; 22:2-5, 14-16a; 28:2; 29:2-9; cf. Eph. 3:8-10). David’s preparation in his affliction (v. 14), in his trials, and in the victory of his fightings typifies Christ’s rich provision for the building of the church of God in His trials and in His victory in His life of fighting against Satan with his power of darkness.

David’s arranging in order Israel’s services to God related to the temple of God (6:31-48; chs. 23—26) typifies the Spirit’s arranging in order the church services in the New Testament (1 Cor. 12:4-11). It typifies further that as the Head of the Body, Christ has set up an order in His Body for all the members to keep (1 Cor. 14:40).

The officers who served the king were of twelve divisions, twenty-four thousand in each division, taking care of the king’s affairs month by month throughout all the months of the year (vv. 1-15). David’s standard of living was excessive and too luxurious, and it became a hidden factor in the rebellion that occurred after the time of Solomon. See note 41 in 1 Kings 12.

1Ch 28:111 pattern
The temple built by Solomon was not according to any human design, for God had clearly shown David the pattern of the building (vv. 11-19), just as He had shown Moses the pattern of the tabernacle on Mount Sinai (Exo. 25—30; cf. Gen. 6:14-16; 1 Cor. 3:10-12; Heb. 11:10). Thus did Solomon build the temple on the proper ground (2 Chron. 3:1) according to the pattern revealed to his father, David.
1Ch 28:12a pattern cf. Exo. 25:40
1Ch 28:141 weight
In the vision given to him by God, David saw not only the sizes of the vessels but also their weight. The size and the weight signify that in the church the different aspects of the experience of Christ and the different gifts and functions of the members must be properly proportioned and balanced (cf. 1 Cor. 12:14-31; 14:5-6, 19).
