Gill's Notes on the Bible

The gold for things of gold, the silver for things of silver,.... The one for what was to be overlaid with gold, the other for what was to be overlaid with silver:

and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers; what remained was to be made use of in employing artificers in making vessels for the temple that were needful:

and who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord; or fill his hand? k and give largely and liberally towards building an house for the service and worship, honour and glory, of God; and David, having set so good an example, could with the better grace recommend the good work to his nobles and people, and which had its desired effect, as follows.

k למלאות ידו "impleat manum suam", V. L. "ut impleat manum suam", Vatablus, Piscator.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

To consecrate his service - literally, as in the margin, “to fill his hand,” i. e., “to come with full hands to Yahweh.” The words contain an appeal to the assembly for voluntary offerings.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 29:5. To consecrate his service — למלאות ידו lemalloth yado, to fill his hand; to bring an offering to the Lord.
