The Things Dedicated by David

When the house is finished, Solomon brings all the objects into the temple. There are also “the things dedicated by his father David” that have not been used. These may be for future repairs, for example. David gathered together gold, silver, and brass in abundance for the building of the temple (1Chr 22:14 ; 16 ; 1Chr 29:2). He captured them from defeated enemies (2Sam 8:7 ; 11-12). In addition, there are the things from his private property (1Chr 29:3-4) and the voluntary gifts of the rulers and other leaders (1Chr 29:6-9).

David is a picture of the Lord Jesus in His suffering. After all that has been used, there remains a fullness of glory. Everything that is in the temple is worked through Christ and His work on the cross. But there is even more glory connected with the work of Christ. That is all material for “the treasuries of the house of the LORD”.
