Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - In the imagination of the thoughts of the heart. We have here again a reminiscence of the early language of Genesis (Genesis 6:5; Genesis 8:21. See also our book, 1 Chronicles 28:9; Deuteronomy 31:21). This same word for "imagination" (יֵצֶר) is found in the Authorized Version in Isaiah 26:3, "Whose mind is stayed," etc.; and in Psalm 103:14; Isaiah 29:16; Habakkuk 2:18; in the last three passages translated as "frame," "framed," and "work."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) Israel.--1Chronicles 29:10. (See Genesis 32:28, and Exodus 3:6.)Keep this for ever in the imagination.--Rather, preserve this for ever: to wit, "the cast (1Chronicles 28:9) of the thoughts of the heart of thy people." Give permanence to the frame of mind which has evinced itself in the freewill offerings of to-day.Prepare their heart.--Or, direct (1Samuel 7:3). (Comp. Ezekiel 4:3; Ezekiel 4:7, "direct the face towards . . ." Proverbs 16:9, "direct his going." Comp. also 2Chronicles 12:14; 2Chronicles 20:33.) . . .
