Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 22:19

"Now set your heart and your soul to seek after Jehovah your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of Jehovah." — 1 Chronicles 22:19 (ASV)

To seek the Lord.—Hebrew, “to seek to 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 participial form as in 1 Chronicles 22:9: shall be born.
