1 Chronicles 28:8

“Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the congregation of the Lord, etc.] Whom this assembly represented: and in the audience of our God; before him, as Jarchi, in whose presence they were, and who heard and saw all that passed, and to whom David appeals as a witness; the Targum is, “before the Word of the Lord.” before whom all things are naked and open, (<580412>Hebrews 4:12,13) keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God; seek to know them, search for them in the word of God, and endeavour to keep them: that ye may possess this good land; continue in the possession of it, for by their obedience they held it, (<230119>Isaiah 1:19) and leave it for an inheritance for…”

“Now . . . in the sight of all Israel, . . . keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord, &c.--This solemn and earnest exhortation to those present, and to all Israel through their representatives, to continue faithful in observing the divine law as essential to their national prosperity and permanence, is similar to that of Moses (Deu 30:15-20).”

“Of our God - I exhort and charge you every one, calling God who is here present, and this congregation wherein all Israel are present by their representatives, or witness against you, if you do not follow my counsel. Keep and seek - Keep those commands which you know, and seek for, or search into what you are yet ignorant of, that you may distinctly understand the whole will of God, and seriously give yourselves to the practice of it. God's commandments cannot be kept without great care. 1 Chronicles 28:9”
