Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 14:4
These are the names of his children - In 2 Samuel 5:14-16 ; (note), eleven persons only are mentioned in the Hebrew text, but the Septuagint has twenty-four, here there are thirteen, and all the versions have the same number, with certain varieties in the names. - See the notes there. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:1-2
There is an obscurity about Hiram which certainly does not serve to diminish interest in him and his place in this narrative. The obscurity referred to affects, not merely himself and his reign, but rather what we now have to do with, the time, occasion, manner, of his introduction to David, and the commencement of the warm friendship between the two. This place, with the parallel, is the earliest scriptural mention of Hiram. Later allusion to him ( 1 Kings 5:1 ) drops the significant... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:2
Was lifted up . The passage in Samuel reads נִשֵׂא , the Piel conjugation. The present form is obscure, נִשֵׂאת . It may be considered either an irregular Niphal third pers. fem.; or Niphal infin, absolute ( 2 Samuel 19:43 ); or possibly even an irregular Piel form, in which case the pronoun "he" will need to be supplied as the subject. Supposing that any special connection subsists between this and the previous verse, it is not necessary to consider it remote. Then, as now, the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:3
David took more wives . As matter of course, we do not look in this connection for any remarks to be made by the writer condemnatory of David's enlargement of the harem, or of his having an harem at all. Yet it is open to us to note how, at a time when polygamy was "winked at," and no sin was necessarily to lie on this account at the door of David, yet by this very thing he was undermining the peace and unity of his own family, the comfort of his declining years once and again, and the very... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:4-7
The names of his children which he had in Jerusalem . The names of the children born to David in Hebron are given in 1 Chronicles 3:1-4 . For a comparison of this list with that of 1 Chronicles 3:5-9 , see that place. It will be observed that the present list agrees with that of Samuel in respect of eleven names, and with 1 Chronicles 3:5-8 , so far as number goes, with all thirteen. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:1-17
The ark comes to Jerusalem (13:1-16:7)David knew that part of the reason for Israel’s previous weakness was Saul’s lack of interest in its religious life. Even the ark of the covenant, symbol of God’s presence, lay forgotten in a country house. David set out to restore the ark to its rightful place at the centre of the nation’s religious life. In bringing the ark to Jerusalem, his aim was to make Jerusalem the religious, as well as the political, centre of Israel. But his plans suffered an... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:1-7
We may observe here, 1. There is no man that has such a sufficiency in himself but he has need of his neighbours and has reason to be thankful for their help: David had a very large kingdom, Hiram a very little one; yet David could not build himself a house to his mind unless Hiram furnished him with both workmen and materials, 1 Chron. 14:1. This is a reason why we should despise none, but, as we have opportunity, be obliging to all. 2. It is a great satisfaction to a wise man to be settled,... read more
