Historical Background
1 Chronicles was written by an unknown author after the Babylonian exile, possibly by a priest or Levite. It was written for the returning exiles to remind them of their history and the importance of their religious practices. The verse comes from a speech David gives to Solomon, encouraging him to continue building the temple.
