What Does 1 Chronicles 22:4 Mean?
David's gathering of materials reaches beyond Israel's borders. The skilled seafaring peoples of Sidon and Tyre bring great quantities of prized cedar, the same fragrant, durable wood later used throughout the temple.
Foreign hands and foreign forests are enlisted in the service of the LORD's house, a sign that the whole earth and its treasures belong to God. What is finest and most lasting is set apart for him. The nations bringing their gifts foreshadow the day when peoples from every land will offer their best to the King.
