撒母耳記下 5:1-2 RCUVTS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 5:1

Compare the marginal reference. The chronicler adds some interesting details 2Sa. 12:23-40 of the manner in which the various tribes from both sides of the Jordan came to Hebron to make David king, and of the joyful festivities on the occasion. The consummation to which events in God’s Providence had been leading had now come. Saul and Jonathan, Abner and Ish-bosheth, were dead; David was already head of a very large portion of Israel; the Philistines, and perhaps the remnant of the Canaanites,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 5:1

2 Samuel 5:1. Then came all the tribes to David That is, elders, deputed as ambassadors from every tribe, sent by a common agreement among them; saying, Behold, we are bone of thy bone, &c. Abner and Ish-bosheth being dead, whose authority had swayed the Israelites against their duty, they now acknowledged David’s divine right to the crown; they remembered that he had every qualification requisite for a rightful king of Israel, according to God’s own limitations, Deuteronomy chap.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 5:2

2 Samuel 5:2. The Lord said, Thou shalt feed my people Israel The learned Bishop Patrick very justly observes here, that this is the first time we meet with any ruler, or governor of a people, characterized under the idea of a shepherd; and it cannot but be thought remarkable that the first man so characterized was at first in fact a shepherd; and when we find him, after his advancement to the throne, still characterized by God himself under the same idea, what can be a clearer inference,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:1-25

5:1-10:19 DAVID ESTABLISHES HIS KINGDOMConquest of Jerusalem (5:1-25)All the tribes of Israel now sent a representative force of soldiers to Hebron to present themselves to David, their new king (5:1-3; 1 Chronicles 12:23-40). The two-year civil war had now finished, and for the next five and a half years David reigned in Hebron over a unified Israel (4-5; cf. 2:10-11).David probably realized that so long as he remained in the territory of his own tribe in the south, the northern tribes would... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Samuel 5:2

2 Samuel 5:2. Thou shalt feed my people— Bishop Patrick observes, that this is the first time we meet with any ruler or governor of a people characterised under the idea of a shepherd, though it was afterwards very familiar both with the Greeks and Romans; and I cannot but think it remarkable, that the first man so characterised, was at first, in fact, a shepherd: and when we find him, after his advancement to the throne, still characterised by God himself under the same idea; what can be a... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 5:1

1, 2. Then came all the tribes of Israel—a combined deputation of the leading authorities in every tribe. [See on :-.] David possessed the first and indispensable qualification for the throne; namely, that of being an Israelite ( :-). Of his military talent he had furnished ample proof. And the people's desire for his assumption of the government of Israel was further increased by their knowledge of the will and purpose of God, as declared by Samuel ( :-). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Samuel 5:1-12

3. David’s acceptance by all Israel 5:1-12In 1004 B.C. David became king of all Israel and Judah. [Note: See Merrill, p. 243.] This was his third anointing (cf. 1 Samuel 16:13; 2 Samuel 2:4). The people acknowledged David’s previous military leadership of all Israel, as well as God’s choice of him to shepherd His people as their king. Thus David’s kingship stood on two legs: his divine election and his human recognition."In the ancient East, shepherd at an early date became a title of honor... read more
