Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:1-9

David is here brought to the possession. I. Of the throne of Israel, after he had reigned seven years in Hebron, over Judah only. In consideration of his relation to them (1 Chron. 11:1), his former good services, and especially the divine designation (1 Chron. 11:2), they anointed him their king: he covenanted to protect them, and they to bear faith and true allegiance to him, 1 Chron. 11:3. Observe, 1. God's counsels will be fulfilled at last, whatever difficulties lie in the way. If God had... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:10-47

We have here an account of David's worthies, the great men of his time that served him and were preferred by him. The first edition of this catalogue we had, 2 Sam. 23:8-39 This is much the same, only that those named here from 1 Chron. 11:41-47 to the end are added. Observe, I. The connexion of this catalogue with that which is said concerning David, 1 Chron. 11:9. 1. David waxed greater and greater, and these were his mighty men. Much of the strength and honour of great men is borrowed from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:3

Made a covenant … before the Lord . A forcible use of this phrase occurs in 11:11 . It implies that the engagement was ratified in the presence of a holy place, a holy vessel of the sanctuary, or a holy person ( 1 Samuel 21:6 , 1 Samuel 21:7 ; Joshua 18:8 ; Le Joshua 1:5 ). Whether the tabernacle was now at Hebron is doubtful, but the two priests, Abiathar and Zadok, were. They anointed David . The first time of David's being anointed (lSa 16:1 , 16:13 ) Samuel the prophet... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:4

Jerusalem, which is Jebus . This ancient name of Jerusalem, of Canaanitish date, is found only once beside, viz. in 19:10 , 19:11 ; the Gentile form of the noun, however, Jebusi, is of more frequent occurrence, and sometimes it is found even as the name of the city ( Joshua 15:8 , Joshua 15:63 ; Joshua 18:16 , Joshua 18:28 ). The derivation and meaning of the word are unascertained. Gesenius explains it to mean "a place dry or downtrodden like a threshing-floor." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:5

Thou shalt not come hither . The inhabitants of Jebus added something beside ( 2 Samuel 5:6 ). They had said, "Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither." The castle of Zion . This fort became the site of the temple. It is the Acra of Josephus, and is different from the modern Zion. It was the eastern hill in the city, was the second highest elevation in the city, and up to the time of the destruction of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:6

The name and fresh glory of Joab, as given here, are not given in 2 Samuel 5:3-10 ; and we could suppose that they were purposely withheld there. It is true that Joab already held high office, probably the first place as captain of David's men, but Bertheau's objection to the statements of this verse on such grounds easily yields to the considerations—first, that there can be no doubt Joab had fallen into disfavour with David and others , upon his slaying of Abner ( 2 Samuel 3:26-29 , ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:8

Millo . There is great uncertainty as to the derivation and the meaning of this word. It is probably not really of Hebrew extraction, but of the oldest Canaanitish origin. In the Hebrew it is always used with the article, and would presumably come from the Hebrew root "to fill." Josephus seems to use, as synonymous expression for " David's wall round Millo, " this, viz. "buildings round about the lower city" ('Jud. Ant.,' 3.2, compared with 5; 'Wars,' 6.1, where he identifies those... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:10-25

This list of chiefs of David's "mighty men' finds a more appropriate position where it is placed here, than where it is found, after the close of the very dying speech of David, in 2 Samuel 23:8-23 . It plainly belongs to the time of the establishment of David's sway over the whole people. The different position of the list here is itself an indication of some force, that the writers of the work of Samuel and of Chronicles availed them- selves independently of the common source, and that the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 11:6-8

The narrative here given fills out a manifest defect in 2 Samuel 5:8 where something has evidently dropped out of the text.The prowess of Joab on this occasion, and the part which he took in the building of the city of David 1 Chronicles 11:8, are known to us only from this passage of Chronicles. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 11:10

Strengthened themselves - Or “exerted themselves” - “strenuously assisted with all Israel in making David king.” This list of David’s principal heroes belongs, therefore, to his reign at Hebron. In Samuel the list is not given until nearly the end of David’s reign 2 Samuel 23:8-39. read more
