1 Chronicles 17:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 17:29

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying
Giving them the further instructions concerning their peace offerings:

he that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the
Lord;
whether it he for thanksgiving, or as a vow, or a voluntary oblation, and whether it be of the herd or of the flock, an ox or a cow, a lamb or a goat:

shall bring his oblation unto the Lord of the sacrifice of his
peace offerings;
that is, the unleavened cakes, wafers, and fried cakes, and unleavened bread, which are called the whole oblation, ( Leviticus 7:10-14 ) .

1 Chronicles 17:2 In-Context

1 After David was settled in his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”
2 Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you have in mind, do it, for God is with you.”
3 But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:
4 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build me a house to dwell in.
5 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt to this day. I have moved from one tent site to another, from one dwelling place to another.
