Clarke's 1-chronicles 22:1 Bible Commentary
David said, This is the house of the Lord - Till a temple is built for his name, this place shall be considered the temple of God; and on this altar, and not on that at Gibeon, shall the burnt-offerings of Israel be made. David probably thought that this was the place on which God designed that his house should be built; and perhaps it was this that induced him to buy, not only the threshing-floor, but probably some adjacent ground also, as Calmet supposes, that there might be sufficient room for such a building.
Barnes's 1-chronicles 22:1 Bible Commentary
This is the house of the Lord God - The double miracle - that of the angelic appearance and that of the fire from heaven - had convinced David that here he had found the destined site of that "house" which it had been told him that his son should build 1 Chronicles 22:10. Hence, this public announcement.
Wesley's 1-chronicles 22:1 Bible Commentary
22:1 Said - Thro' the instinct and direction of God's spirit, by which as he is said to have had the pattern of the house, porch, altar, &c. 1 Chronicles 28:11 ,12,19, so doubtless he was instructed as to the placewhere the house should be built. This - This is the place appointed byGod for the building of his temple and altar.
