Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 20:1

1. at the time when kings go out to battle—in spring, the usual season in ancient times for entering on a campaign; that is, a year subsequent to the Syrian war. Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country . . . of Ammon—The former campaign had been disastrous, owing chiefly to the hired auxiliaries of the Ammonites; and as it was necessary, as well as just, that they should be severely chastised for their wanton outrage on the Hebrew ambassadors, Joab ravaged their country and... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 20:1-8

The Siege of Rabbah. The Slaughter of three Philistine GiantsThis chapter corresponds, with some unimportant differences, to several distinct sections in 2 S, viz. 2 Samuel 11:1; 2 Samuel 12:26-31; 2 Samuel 21:18-22.2. David took, etc.] This implies David’s presence at Rabbah, and as it stands here is inconsistent with the previous verse. In 2 Samuel 12 the discrepancy is explained by a passage which Chronicles omits, relating that Joab summoned David to Rabbah and that the king went thither.5.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 20:1

(1) After the year was expired.—Heb., at the time of the return of the year: i.e., in spring. (See 1 Kings 20:22; 1 Kings 20:26.)At the time that kings go out.—See 1 Kings 20:16. Military operations were commonly suspended during winter. The Assyrian kings have chronicled their habit of making yearly expeditions of conquest and plunder. It was exceptional for the king to “remain in the country.”Joab led forth the power of the army.—Samuel gives details: “David sent Joab and his servants (? the... read more

Great Giants and Small 1 Chronicles 20:4-8 You tremble when you read the names of these giants. There is no need to tremble; a deadlier giant is aiming at your heart today. The heroics have changed as to apparatus and nomenclature and environment, and all that sort of vanishing vapour; the great fight goes on, the tremendous rush of armies, Philistine and Israelite still meet face to face. I. What giants have you been fighting? You have got through the first crude lot. I know it; so have we... read more

CHAPTER 20 Joab and David take Rabbah 1. Rabbah destroyed (1 Chronicles 20:1-3 ) 2. The Philistine giants slain (1 Chronicles 20:4-8 ) Rabbah was the capital of Ammon (Deuteronomy 3:11 ; Joshua 13:25 ) and was taken by Joab. David tarried in Jerusalem (so fatal to him, 2 Samuel 11:1 ) and Joab smote Rabbah and destroyed it. Then David appeared also upon the scene. Joab had summoned David to help in the overthrow of the city (2 Samuel 12:27 , etc). The crown mentioned was probably the crown... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 20:1-8

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

1 Chronicles 20:0 1. And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it. [We learn from 2 Samuel 12:27-29 , that before the actual fall of the Ammonite capital, Joab sent for David, that the honour of the capture might be his; and that David took the command before... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 20:1-3

The Reader will recollect the circumstances which are here related have been before noticed, and with more particulars in 2 Samuel 11:0 and 2 Samuel 12:0 . I refer therefore to the account there given. I would only desire the Reader to recollect, that while Joab was thus engaged at Rabbah, this was the sad period when David was falling into the fool sin of adultery at Jerusalem. It is remarkable, however, that though the relation of that sin is immediately connected with the account of the war... read more
