Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 22:19
Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God,.... His honour and glory, most sincerely and cordially, and to the utmost of their power: arise ye, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 22:19
(19) To seek the Lord.—Hebrew, “to seek unto the Lord,” as in 2 Chronicles 17:4; Ezra 4:2. The older construction, with a simple accusative, occurred in 1 Chronicles 16:12; 1 Chronicles 21:30. Arise therefore, and build.—Rather, And arise ye, and build. The second clause explains how the first was to be carried out. Building the Lord a fair and noble sanctuary was equivalent to seeking His favour. Professions cost nothing, and they were not to serve the Lord “without cost” (1 Chronicles 21:24). To bring the ark.—From its temporary abode on Mount Zion (1 Chronicles 15:1). The holy vessels of God—e.g., the altar of burnt offering. That is to be built.—The same participal form as in 1 Chronicles 22:9 : “shall be born.”
