2 Samuel 5:14 NIV

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 5:13-16

David’s Own Continuing Fruitfulness (2 Samuel 5:13-16 ). A further indication of YHWH’s hand on David was the fact that he was so fruitful and had so many sons and daughters. This was on top of the sons who had previously been born to him in Hebron (2 Samuel 3:2-5). Analysis. a And David took for himself more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron (2 Samuel 5:13). b And there were yet sons and daughters born to David (2 Samuel 5:14). b And these are the... read more

2 Samuel 5:1-Nehemiah : . David Becomes King of united Israel and Judah. He Captures Jerusalem (J). ( Cf. p. 282.)— Two notes have been added to this section ( 2 Samuel 5:4 f. and 2 Samuel 5:13-Nehemiah :), of the same character as 2 Samuel 2:10 a, 11, 2 Samuel 3:1-Deuteronomy :, and probably by the same hand. 2 Samuel 5:1-Leviticus : .

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES—2 Samuel 5:6. “Went to Jerusalem.” “That this took place immediately after the anointing of David as king of Israel is apparent not only from the fact that the account follows directly afterwards, but also from the circumstance that, according to 2 Samuel 5:5, David reigned in Jerusalem just as many years as he was king over all Israel.” (Keil.) “Whether David was directed by the special guidance of the Holy Spirit, or whether he was left solely to his own judgment... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:1-25

Chapter 5Then all of the tribes came to David there in Hebron, and they said, Behold, we're of your bone, we're of your flesh. In times past, when Saul was king, you were the one that led us out to victories over our enemies: and you, the LORD said to you, You are to feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel. So all ye elders of Israel came to the king in Hebron; and King David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel. And... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 5:1-25

2 Samuel 5:2 . Thou shalt feed my people. Probably the highpriest, or a prophet, delivered a short coronation charge, as Samuel had already done. This divine promise is made the final reason why they came to place David on the throne of all Israel. 2 Samuel 5:6 . Went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites. This city is called Jebus, Judges 19:10; and Salem, Genesis 14:18. Psalms 76:2. The lower part of it, falling to the lot of Judah, was taken and burnt; but the upper part falling to the lot... read more

2 Samuel 5:11-22And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers to David.The kingdom established1. Now the tide fairly turned in David’s history, and that, instead of a sad chronicle of hardship and disappointment, the record of his reign becomes one of unmingled success and prosperity. The fact is far from an unusual one in the history of men’s lives. How often, even in the ease of men who have become eminent, has the first stage of life been one of disappointment and sorrow, and the last part one of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 5:14

14. The names A comparison of these names with the lists in Chronicles will show some discrepancies, for which at this day we are unable to account. Some of them are, perhaps, errors of copyists, but this must not always be supposed. Children who died in infancy were registered in some tables, and in others not. read more
