Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 18:6

(6) Put garrisons.—The noun here omitted in the Hebrew, probably by an oversight, occurs in Samuel. In 1 Chronicles 11:16 and 2 Chronicles 17:2 it means “out post,” or “garrison;” in 1 Kings 4:19, “prefects,” or “pashas.” The Targum of Samuel gives strategi, “generals;” Syriac and Arabic, “prefects” and “collectors;” LXX. and Vulg., “garrison.” The Arabic here has “collectors and guards;” the Syriac, “commanders.”Syria-damascus.—Aram of Damascus (1 Chronicles 18:5). (Comp. 1 Chronicles 18:2 for... read more

James Gray

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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 18:1-17

1Ch 18:1-12 [ The Speakers Commentary points out that this chapter is closely parallel with 2 Samuel 8:0 , differing from it only in a few passages. 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. And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 18:1-6

The blessed effects of David's interest with God, are manifested in his success in all that he put his hand unto. The Lord preserved David whithersoever he went. Sweet thought to the souls of the gracious. But we must look beyond David in this history, to eye him of whom David in many instances was but the type. All that oppose the Son of David shall perish. Jesus must go on conquering and to conquer. His dominions shall be from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. Psalms... read more
