The Gravity of a Divine Call

Commentators like Ellicott and Gill emphasize that David's charge to Solomon begins with a call to deep consideration. The phrase "Take heed now" is an instruction to stop and fully grasp the weight and privilege of being chosen by God for a specific, holy purpose. The strength to act flows from first realizing the divine origin of the commission.
