Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 1 Chronicles 1:1-54

Man Succeeding Man 1 Chronicles 1:44 There are men immediately behind us who are waiting for us to get on, and to go, and finish our prophecy, our commerce, our function, whatever it may be. The breath of the next man is hot on my neck. Do not lose the spiritual impulse and spiritual edification of such texts as these by calling them commonplace. Do not say that we are uttering trite sayings when we say that man lives that he may die, and dies, says the Christian faith, that he may live. We... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 1:1-54

GENEALOGIES AND PEDIGREES INTRODUCTION With this begins the study of those historical books of the Old Testament written shortly after the return from the Babylonian captivity, the remainder of the series including 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. “Chronicles” means “diaries” or “journal,” and the books recapitulate sacred history from the time of Adam, in which the earlier books of the Old Testament are drawn upon and occasionally supplemented. The Holy Spirit, who is the real... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 1:1-54

The Second Adam The Mighty Dead 1 Chronicles 1:0 This chapter should be taken as one lesson from beginning to end, and having read it through the reader will certainly be filled with wonder at the list of strange and even marvellous names. The first question that will arise must naturally be, What do we know of these people? The answer is that we know next to nothing about them, and yet there is the fact that they actually lived, exerted an influence, concluded their mission, and then passed... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 1:5-8

1Ch 11:5 "And the inhabitants of Jebus [Jerusalem, which is Jebus (Joshua 15:8 ; Jdg 19:10 ),] said [for the full speech of the Jebusites on this occasion see 2 Sam, 1Ch 5:6 ] to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion [the 'stronghold' of 2Sa 5:7 is better than the 'castle' of this place. The Hebrew word means 'a fortified place,'] which is the city of David." [This name is applied in Scripture to two different places. (1) In 2 Samuel 5:0 we read that... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 1:5-7

The sons of Japheth, which gave rise to the Gentile church, are first mentioned, perhaps because, as in the after ages, they became interested in Christ, though not in the line of his genealogy; honorable mention is made of them in the record. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 1:7

Dodanim. Hebrew has R, conformably to the Samaritan copy of Genesis, and the Septuagint translate the Rhodians. Yet Dodanim seems more accurate, (Calmet) and is retained by the Protestants. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 1:1-27

1-27 This chapter, and many that follow, repeat the genealogies, or lists of fathers and children in the Bible history, and put them together, with many added. When compared with other places, there are some differences found; yet we must not therefore stumble at the word, but bless God that the things necessary to salvation are plain enough. The original of the Jewish nation is here traced from the first man that God created, and is thereby distinguished from the obscure, fabulous, and absurd... read more
