Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 14:2

(2) And David perceived . . .—And David knew that Jehovah had appointed him. The willing alliance of the powerful sovereign of Phoenician Tyre was so understood by David. The favour of man is sometimes a sign of the approval of God—always, when it results from well-doing (Genesis 39:21; Luke 2:52).For his kingdom was lifted up on high.—Samuel, “and (he knew) that he had lifted up his kingdom.” Perhaps our text should be rendered, viz., that his kingdom was lifted up on high.”Lifted up.—Aramaic... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:1-17

DAVID1. HIS TRIBE AND DYNASTYKING and kingdom were so bound up in ancient life that an ideal for the one implied an ideal for the other: all distinction and glory possessed by either was shared by both. The tribe and kingdom of Judah were exalted by the fame of David and Solomon: but, on the other hand, a specially exalted position is accorded to David in the Old Testament because he is the representative of the people of Jehovah. David himself had been anointed by Divine command to be king of... read more

4. David’s Increase and Blessing CHAPTER 14 1. Hiram (1 Chronicles 14:1-2 ) 2. David’s family (1 Chronicles 14:3-7 ) 3. The Philistines defeated (1 Chronicles 14:8-17 ) The reader is referred to 2 Samuel 5:11-16 for the comment on verses 1-7. Beeliada is called in 2 Samuel 5:16 Eliada. Beeliada was probably changed to Eliada. David’s great victory over the Philistines is also recorded in 2 Samuel 5:17-25 . He inquired of God and being permitted to go, he smote them at Baal-perazim,... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:1-17

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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 14:1-17

The Divine and the Human 1 Chronicles 14:0 THIS section is a duplicate of 2 Samuel 5:11-25 . The order of chronology has not been particularly observed. It has been thought indeed by some that "the chronicler may have transposed the two accounts, in order to represent the removal of the ark to the new capital in immediate connection with the acquisition of the city.' This chapter treats of two subjects: the first, David's palace-building, and family; and the second, the two victories which he... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:1-2

We were before informed of Hiram's message to David, and the events of it, with the king's views, that his greatness came from the Lord. 2 Samuel 5:0 related these things, to which therefore I refer the Reader, without adding any further observation on that subject, than what the Commentary there contains. read more
