David, by God's appointment, abolished all use of the tabernacle, that was built by Moses, and of which he had the pattern from ⟨p. 86⟩God: for God now revealed it to David to be his will, that a temple should be built▪ that should be instead of the tabernacle: A great presage of what Christ, the son of David, should do, when he should come, viz. abolish the whole Jewish ecclesiastical constitution, which was but as a moveable tabernacle, to set up the spiritual gospel-temple, which was to be far more glorious, and greate•• extent, and was to last for ever. David had the pattern of all things pertaining to the temple showed him, even in like man•er as Moses had the pattern of the tabernacle: and Solomon built the temple according to that pattern which he had from his father David, which he received from God. 1 Chron. xxviii.11▪ 12. "Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy-seat, and the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicate things." And, ver. 19. "All this, s•id David, the Lord made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern."
