Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 14:17

(17) This verse is not in Samuel. It looks like a concluding reflection of the chronicler’s, similar to 2 Chronicles 17:10; 2 Chronicles 20:29.The fame of David went out.—David’s name. The same phrase recurs in 2 Chronicles 26:15.All lands.—All the lands. (Comp. Psalms 19:4.)And the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.—Yet this fear was, as we should say, the natural effect of his victories. In the view of the chronicler, David’s success in arms, with all its consequences, was the... read more

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'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 14:8-16

The account of these wars is so exactly represented before in 2 Samuel 5:0 that I refer the Reader to what is there observed upon them. Spiritually considered, and with an eye to Christ, we may derive great improvement from the wars of David. In Jesus, he conquered. So must we. His direction for going forth to the war, was by the sound of the mulberry trees. Our guide is the same, in the movement of the Holy Ghost. His opposition to the Philistines all his days, teacheth us, that the holy war... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:17

REFLECTIONS READER! learn from the view given us of David in this chapter, that the highest state of earthly glory, is neither secure from corruptions within, nor from fightings without. Even David hath fleshly lusts which war against the soul. And even David's security under the blessing of the God of Israel, shall not exempt him from furious battles with the Philistines on every side. They that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Reader! if you be Christ's, do not expect... read more
