サムエル記下 5:3-5 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:1-5

Here is, I. The humble address of all the tribes to David, beseeching him to take upon him the government (for they were now as sheep having no shepherd), and owning him for their king. Though David might by no means approve the murder of Ish-bosheth, yet he might improve the advantages he gained thereby, and accept the applications made to him thereupon. Judah had submitted to David as their king above seven years ago, and their ease and happiness, under his administration, encouraged the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:3

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron ,.... Which either explains what is meant by the tribes coming to him, 2 Samuel 5:1 ; namely, coming by their elders as their representatives; or else the meaning is, that the messengers the tribes sent, when they returned and reported the favourable reception they had met with from David; the elders of the several tribes, the princes or principal men met, and came together to David in Hebron: and King David made a league with them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:4

David was thirty years old when he began reign ,.... Over Judah, which was the age of his antitype Christ, when he entered upon his public ministry, Luke 3:23 , and he reigned forty years ; and six months, as appears by 2 Samuel 5:5 ; but the months are not mentioned, only the round number of years given: two reasons the Jews F1 Hieron. Trad. Heb. in lib. Reg. fol. 77. I. give for this; the one, that he fled six months from Absalom; the other is, that he was ill in Hebron... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:5

In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months ,.... So long the kingdom of Israel continued in the house of Saul after his death; and by this it appears that David was near thirty eight years of age when the elders of Israel came and made him their king: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah ; which in all made forty years and six months, see 1 Kings 2:11 ; upon his being made king over all the tribes, as soon as he had taken the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:1-3

( 1 Chronicles 11:1-3 ). ( HEBRON .) David anointed king of all Israel. 1 . About twenty years had elapsed since David was anointed by Samuel, seven years and a half since he was anointed King of Judah; and at length, at the age of thirty-seven, his faith and patience were rewarded, every obstacle was removed out of his path, and the Divine purpose concerning his royal destination fulfilled. "In the fulness of time, at the right moment, in perfect vigour of mind and body, he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:1-3

Tardy acceptance of a divinely appointed ruler. Abner and Ishbosheth being dead, and Mephibosheth incapable from his lameness, the eleven tribes that for upwards of seven years had not only held aloof from David, but waged war with him, now come to the conclusion that it is best to become his subjects, and again be united with Judah in one kingdom. They accordingly make their submission to him and solemnly accept him as their sovereign. I. THE GROUNDS OF THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:1-10

The facts are: 1 . The tribes of Israel come to Hebron to formally acknowledge David as rightful king. 2 . They assign three reasons for their united action. 3 . A solemn league being made between David and the tribes, they anoint him king over Israel. 4 . The question of the crown being settled, David applies himself to the acquisition of Jerusalem as the seat of government. 5 . Being proudly defied by the Jebusites, on account of the strength of their position, he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:2-12

( 1 Chronicles 11:2 , 1 Chronicles 11:9 ; 1 Chronicles 14:2 ). ( HEBRON .) The shepherd king. This is the first occasion on which we find the occupation of a shepherd made use of to describe the office of a king. Jacob, who had "fed Laban's flocks," spoke of "the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel" ( Genesis 49:24 ; Genesis 48:15 ); Moses, who had "kept the flock of Jethro," prayed that Jehovah would "set a man over the congregation" as his successor, so that they might not be "as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 5:3

A league. The early kings of Israel were not invested with despotic power. Thus, on Saul's appointment, "Samuel wrote in a book the manner of the kingdom". The revolt against Rehoboam was the result of the too great extension of the royal power in the days of Solomon ( 1 Kings 12:4 ). Though subsequently the kings seemed to have retained their supremacy, yet when the good and patriotic Jehoiada restored the family of David to the throne, he reverted to the old ways, and "made a covenant... read more
