Book ◦ Chapter

O LORD our God
This phrase acknowledges the covenant relationship between God and His people, Israel. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) emphasizes God's eternal and unchanging nature. The term "our God" signifies a personal and communal relationship, reflecting the covenant established with Abraham and reaffirmed through Moses. This relationship is central to Israel's identity and worship practices.

from Your hand comes all this abundance
This acknowledges God's sovereignty and provision. The abundance refers to the wealth and resources gathered for the construction of the temple. It highlights the belief that all material blessings originate from God, a theme consistent throughout Scripture (e.g.,Deuteronomy 8:18). This perspective fosters humility and gratitude, recognizing human stewardship rather than ownership.

that we have provided to build You a house
The "house" refers to the temple Solomon would build in Jerusalem, a central place for worship and sacrifice. The temple's construction was a fulfillment of God's promise to David (2 Samuel 7:12-13). The phrase underscores the communal effort and dedication of resources for a sacred purpose, reflecting the importance of collective worship and the centrality of the temple in Israelite religion.

for Your holy Name
The temple was to be a dwelling place for God's Name, symbolizing His presence among His people. The "holy Name" signifies God's character and reputation, which Israel was to honor and uphold. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's holiness and the call for His people to be holy (Leviticus 19:2). The temple served as a tangible reminder of God's holiness and His covenant with Israel.

and all of it belongs to You
This phrase reiterates the theme of divine ownership and human stewardship. It reflects the biblical understanding that everything in creation is God's (Psalm 24:1). This acknowledgment serves as a reminder of the temporary nature of human possession and the ultimate accountability to God for how resources are used. It encourages a mindset of generosity and responsibility in the use of God's gifts.

What Does 1 Chronicles 29:16 Mean

O LORD our God

• David addresses the covenant Name, Yahweh, reminding the congregation that their loyalty is to the one true God, not to human leaders (Exodus 3:15;Psalm 100:3).

• By adding “our God,” he underlines personal relationship and corporate identity—echoing Moses’ plea inDeuteronomy 6:4–5 and anticipating Jesus’ wording inMatthew 6:9.

• The title frames the verse in worship, setting the tone that everything following is an act of adoration, not mere financial bookkeeping (Psalm 95:6).

from Your hand comes all this abundance

• Every resource originates with God; He is the ultimate Giver (James 1:17;Acts 17:25).

• David’s statement is literal: the gold, silver, stones, timber—all physically came from God’s providence in creation and in His blessing on Israel’s labor (Deuteronomy 8:17-18).

• This mindset guards against pride. Like the widow’s two coins inMark 12:41-44, the true measure of giving is gratitude, not amount.

that we have provided

• Human participation matters. God supplies, yet He invites His people to steward and present what He has placed in their hands (2 Corinthians 9:6-8).

• The phrase highlights joyful cooperation: leaders and common folk alike offered willingly (1 Chronicles 29:6-9).

• It illustrates the balance inPhilippians 2:13—God works in us, so we can will and act for His good purpose.

to build You a house for Your holy Name

• The temple’s focus is God’s Name—His revealed character and glory—rather than architectural beauty (1 Kings 8:27-30).

• Building “a house” affirms a literal structure, yet its ultimate aim is worship and witness, pointing forward to Christ as the true temple (John 2:19-21) and the church as His dwelling (Ephesians 2:19-22).

• Setting resources aside for this mission underscores why giving exists: to advance God’s presence among His people.

and all of it belongs to You

• Ownership never changes hands; stewardship does.Psalm 24:1 declares, “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof.”

• Surrendering possessions back to God frees hearts from material bondage (Matthew 6:19-21).

• David’s confession anticipatesRevelation 4:11, where heaven proclaims God worthy “to receive glory and honor and power” because all things have their being through Him.

summary

David’s prayer teaches that every gift comes from God, passes through willing human hands, and returns to Him for His glory. Recognizing divine ownership fuels humble, joyful stewardship, honors God’s Name, and knits God’s people together in worship around His dwelling place.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(16)All this store.--Strictly,multitude; and so multitude of goods, riches (Psalm 37:16).

Cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own.--From thine own hand it is, and thine is the whole. The whole verse is a clearer expression of the second half of1Chronicles 29:14. (Comp.Psalm 104:28.)
