The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 18:9

Tou . In the parallel place, spelt Toi. Nothing else is known of this King of Hamath, who now proffers his congratulations to David. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 18:10

Hadoram . In the parallel place written Joram. The Septuagint has the name spelt with d in both places, which has led to the suggestion that possibly the real name was Jedorum. Josephus suggests that Tou had been brought into subjection by Hadadezer, and wished by his present congratulations and valuable gifts to ingratiate himself with David for a purpose. Had war ; literally, was a man of war ; i.e. he had shown his addictedness to war, or had warred abundantly with Tou. It is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 18:11

From Edom . This is probably the correct reading, and not, as in the parallel, "from Aram ," unless, as some think, both places were named in the original authority. From the children of Ammon . Perhaps the events narrated in our succeeding chapter are here referred to by the compiler. From Amalek (see 1 Samuel 30:1-20 , 1 Samuel 30:26-31 ). read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 18:3

1 Chronicles 18:3. David smote Hadarezer, as he went to establish his dominion Such is the uncertainty of this world, that many times men lose their wealth and power, then when they think to confirm them. The meaning of the words, however, may be, that as David went to establish his own dominion, this king of Zobah came out to oppose him, and therefore David smote him. See on 2 Samuel 8:3. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 18:5-6

1 Chronicles 18:5-6. When the Syrians came to help Hadarezer, David slew of the Syrians, &c. Thus the enemies of God’s church are often made to ruin themselves by helping one another. The Syrians became David’s servants, and brought gifts For the wealth of the sinner often proves to have been laid up for the just. The Syrians’ shields of gold, and their brass, were brought to Jerusalem, 1 Chronicles 18:7-8. As the tabernacle was built of the spoils of the Egyptians, so the temple... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 18:10

1 Chronicles 18:10. He sent Hadoram his son to King David, &c. It is our interest to make those our friends who have the presence of God with them, as this king of Hamath, hearing of David’s great success, sent to congratulate him and to court his favour with a noble present, judging it in vain to oppose one whose cause God so evidently espoused. And is it not still more in vain to contend with the son of David? Reader, kiss the Son lest he be angry: let the kings and judges of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 18:11

1 Chronicles 18:11. Them also King David dedicated to the Lord Not only the spoils of his enemies, but the presents of his friends, he devoted to God, and laid up toward the building and enriching of the temple. Thus, we must honour God with that wherewith he blesseth us. And, indeed, that is most truly and most comfortably our own, which we have consecrated to the Lord, and which we use for his glory. Let our merchandise and our hire be holiness to the Lord. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 18:1-17

David’s fame (18:1-22:1)Before speaking further of the temple, the writer lists a number of David’s victories in war. These records show how God was strengthening David’s kingdom according to his promise, but they show also why God would not allow David to build the temple. One who had caused so much bloodshed was not a suitable person to build the nation’s sacred place of worship (see 22:7-10).The writer records victories over miscellaneous enemies (18:1-17; see notes on 2 Samuel 8:1-18);... read more
