1 Chronicles 9:35

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 9:35-44

(35-44) A duplicate of 1 Chronicles 8:29-38. The genealogy of Saul seems to be repeated, according to the chronicler’s habit (comp. 1 Chronicles 6:4 et seq. with 1 Chronicles 6:50 et seq.; 1 Chronicles 7:6 et seq. with 1 Chronicles 8:1 et seq.), as a transition or introduction to something else, viz., the account of that king’s final ruin in 1 Chronicles 10:0. The present list is identical with the former, so far as it extends (1 Chronicles 8:39-40 is wanting here), but is, on the whole, in... read more

TEACHING BY ANACHRONISM1 Chronicles 9:1-44"And David the king said Who then offereth willingly? And they gave for the service of the house of God ten thousand darics."- 1 Chronicles 29:1; 1 Chronicles 29:5; 1 Chronicles 29:7TEACHING by anachronism is a very common and effective form of religious instruction; and Chronicles, as the best Scriptural example of this method, affords a good opportunity for its discussion and illustration.All history is more or less guilty of anachronism; every... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 9:1-44

GENEALOGIES AND PEDIGREES INTRODUCTION With this begins the study of those historical books of the Old Testament written shortly after the return from the Babylonian captivity, the remainder of the series including 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. “Chronicles” means “diaries” or “journal,” and the books recapitulate sacred history from the time of Adam, in which the earlier books of the Old Testament are drawn upon and occasionally supplemented. The Holy Spirit, who is the real... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 9:1-44

The Hell of Death Church Usages Every Man In His Place 1 Chronicles 9:0 If we regard all the names which occur in this chapter under the image of a deep flowing river, all we can hope to do is to wander by its banks awhile, and pluck here and there a flower, or watch here and there some shining bubble as it rises, gleams, and dies. We can hardly realise the toil that is expressed in the keeping of so large and critical a register. It is easy for us to run through the names, as but so many... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 9:35-44

It is remarkable that these verses should be again inserted in this place, since we had them before in the preceding Chapter, from verse 29 to 38 (1 Chronicles 8:29-38 ). There it finished with the register of Benjamin, and here it is introductory to what follows, in the history of Saul. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 9:35

And in. These verses are repeated from the last chapter, in order to bring us to the death of Saul, (Menochius) and the reign of David. (Calmet) --- "Tis difficult to account for the repetition, provided they were repeated originally; but if they have been repeated through the blunder of a transcriber, the existence of the same words" before them may be the reason. (Kennicott) --- The father of Gabaon. This is the explanation of Abigabaon, chap. viii. 29. (Haydock) --- Wife. So the former... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 9:1-44

In this chapter the genealogies are completed, that is to say, they here reach the latest point in their history, and refer to the dwellers in Jerusalem after the return from captivity. They are lists of the heads of the families of Judah, Benjamin, the priests, and the Levites. Immediately following these lists we have an account of the porters and their duties, together with those of the Levites and the priests. In the opening verses of the chapter we are told the reason for Judah being... read more
