James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 18:1-17

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

It contains an account of David's chief wars ( 1Ch 18:1-13 ), and a list of his principal officers ( 1Ch 18:15-17 ).] 1. Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines. 2.

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 18:1-17

With slight variations, this chapter is identical with2 Samuel 8:1-18; 2 Samuel 8:1-18. It tells the story of David's victories over surrounding foes by which he made the boundaries of his kingdom secure, and put himself in position to increase his trading facilities. First, he dealt with the Philistines on the southwest, and then turned to the northeast, where he secured a position on the great river. The Edomites were defeated by Joab and Abishai, and so security and opportunity to trade... read more
