Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 27:4

(4) Dodai an Ahohite.—The Ahohite. 1 Chronicles 11:11 proves that the right reading is Eliezer son of Dodai the Ahohite.And of his course was Mikloth also the ruler.—Literally, and his course, and Mikloth the prince (nâgîd); which appears meaningless. Perhaps the “and” before Mikloth is spurious. (Comp. end of 1 Chronicles 27:6.) The sense may then be that this division included Mikloth “the prince,” an unknown personage; or that Mikloth was the chief man in the division. (See 1 Chronicles... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 1 Chronicles 27:1-34

6. The Captains, Princes, and Various Officials CHAPTER 27 1. The twelve captains (1 Chronicles 27:1-15 ) 2. The princes of the twelve tribes (1 Chron. 27-16-22) 3. The unfinished numbering (1 Chronicles 27:23-24 ) 4. Various officers (1 Chronicles 27:25-34 ) We have here the military organization of David’s kingdom. The army comprised all males over twenty years of age. The host had twelve divisions each of 24,000. It is remarkable how the number twenty-four occurs again and again.... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 27:1-34

DAVID ’S REIGN THE DOWNFALL OF SAUL (1 Chronicles 10:0 ) In reading this chapter with whose general contents we became familiar in 1 Samuel 31:0 , it is important to note the inspired comment at its close (1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ). DAVID’S HEROES (1 Chronicles 11-12) In the history of David in this book, the writer dwells chiefly on its prosperous side, passing over the rest as lightly as possible. His anointing at Hebron (1 Chronicles 11:1-3 ) reveals nothing of what we learned earlier of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 27:1-15

There is very little more to be observed on the contents of those verses, than, that as David wisely thought in time of peace, it is right to be prepared for war, in a world like the present, so here we see the means he adopted to be secure from foreign foes. In a spiritual sense it may be observed, that as good soldiers of Jesus Christ we ought to be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might, and to take to us the whole armour of God. There is somewhat remarkable in the selection of... read more

Dudia, of Dodi, the father of Eleazar, chap. xi. 12. (Calmet) --- After him, his substitute. (Tirinus) --- Hebrew, "and Macelloth, chief also of his course, consisting likewise of 24,000." (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 27:1-15

1-15 In the kingdoms of this world readiness for war forms a security for peace; in like manner, nothing so much encourages Satan's assaults as to be unwatchful. So long as we stand armed with the whole armour of God, in the exercise of faith, and preparation of heart for the conflict, we shall certainly be safe, and probably enjoy inward peace. read more

The Captains and Princes of Israel v. 1. Now, the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, the commanders of the twelve divisions of the army and the officers under their command, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand. This was the number included in the division or legion... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 27:1-34

This chapter gives us an idea of the internal order of the kingdom under the government of David. The courses mentioned in the opening part of the chapter are not mentioned elsewhere in the Old Testament. They may have been the toilers who wrought in some specific work. Perhaps this refers to arrangement made for the labor necessary to build the Temple. Then the rulers of the tribes are named. Following this is a significant statement that in the numbering necessary to organization David was... read more
