I had intended to build a permanent home for the ark of the covenant of the LORD and as a footstool for our God, and I prepared materials for the building. 3"But God said to me, 'You shall not build a house for My Name (Presence), because you are a man of war and have shed blood.' 4"However, the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me from all in my father's house to be king over Israel forever. For He has chosen Judah to be the leader; and in the house (tribe) of Judah he chose the house of my father; and among the sons of my father He was pleased to make me king over all Israel. 5"Of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons) He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel. 6"He said to me, 'Solomon your son shall build My house and My courts; for I have chosen him to be a son to Me, and I will be a father to him. 7'I will establish his kingdom forever if he loyally and continually obeys My commandments and My ordinances, as is done today.' 8"Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek after all the commandments of the LORD your God so that you may possess the good land and leave it as an inheritance to your sons after you forever. 9"As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father [have personal knowledge of Him, be acquainted with, and understand Him; appreciate, heed, and cherish Him] and serve Him with a blameless heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and minds, and understands every intent and inclination of the thoughts. If you seek Him [inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him as your first and vital necessity] He will let you find Him; but if you abandon (turn away from) Him, He will reject you forever. 10"Consider this carefully, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be courageous and strong and do it."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes,.... Whose names are given in 1 Chronicles 27:16
and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course; monthly, each having 24,000 men under him, whose names are expressed, 1 Chronicles 27:2
and the captains over the thousands; of which there were twenty four in a course, at the head of each 1000, under the chief captain:
and captains over the hundreds: centurions under the second captains:
and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons; whose names may be read in 1 Chronicles 27:25
with the officers: the courtiers:
and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men; both men of valour, and of wealth and riches: these David
assembled unto Jerusalem; the metropolis of the kingdoms and where his court and palace were.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Officer - literally, as in the margin. This is the only occasion in which eunuchs are mentioned in connection with David’s reign; and it is to be remarked that they occupy, during the earlier period of the Jewish kingdom, a very subordinate position.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXVIII
David assembles the princes of Israel, and informs them that
the temple was to be built by Solomon; to whom God had given
the most gracious promises, 1-7.
He exhorts them and him to be obedient to God, that they might
continue to prosper, 8-10.
He gives Solomon a pattern of the work, 11, 12;
directs him concerning the courses of the priests and Levites,
13;
gives also gold, by weight, for the different utensils of the
temple, as God had directed him, 14-19;
encourages Solomon to undertake the work, 20, 21.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXVIII
