David's Mighty Men and their Deeds v. 10.

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 11:1-47

We now enter on the second section of this Book. In this section there are four movements: the story of David's crowning, the events connected with the Ark of God, the account of David's reign, and, finally, matters concerning the building of the Temple. The chronicler passes over in silence the story of the seven years in which David reigned over Judah. There may be two reasons for this. First, this is the history of the greatness of David, and begins therefore with his crowning over the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:1-47

CRITICAL NOTES.] The writer here passes by the 7½ years of David’s reign over Judah, at which he had glanced in his introductory section (chap. 1 Chronicles 3:4), and hastens to the glorious period of his inauguration as king over the whole people of Israel. This, as we learn from 2 Samuel 4:5, was at the death of Ish-bosheth, who succeeded Saul as king over all the tribes, except that of Judah [Speak. Com.].1 Chronicles 11:1-4.—David made king. Hebron, chap. 1 Chronicles 3:4, an ancient royal... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:1-47

Chapter 11David became the king, and so in chapter eleven,All of Israel gathered themselves to David in Hebron ( 1 Chronicles 11:1 ),And it tells the numbers of people that gathered. Huge force of people from all of the tribes gathered to David. Hundreds of thousands actually gathered down in Hebron, and the mighty men, men of war and so forth. Now they said to David,Behold, we are your bone and flesh. And moreover in times past, even when Saul was king, you were the one that led us out and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 11:1-47

1 Chronicles 11:11 . Jashobeam, called Tachmoni, 2 Samuel 23:8, a wise man and valiant. He had earned the laurel to sit as the chairman of David’s generals.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge - 1 Chronicles 11:13

Pasdammim: Ephes-dammim is here called Pas-dammim, by apheresis. 1 Samuel 17:1, Ephes-dammim a parcel: In Samuel it is, "a piece of ground full of lentiles;" and there is probably a mistake of seorim, "barley," for adashim, "lentiles," or vice-versa. Some, however, think there were both lentiles and barley in the field, which is not unlikely. Reciprocal: 2 Samuel 23:11 - the Philistines read more
