10-47 An account is given of David's worthies, the great men who served him. Yet David reckoned his success, not as from the mighty men that were with him, but from the mighty God, whose presence is all in all. In strengthening him, they strengthened themselves and their own interest, for his advancement was theirs. We shall gain by what we do in our places for the support of the kingdom of the Son of David; and those that are faithful to Him, shall find their names registered much more to their honour, than these are in the records of fame....

EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 11:1 Upon the death of Saul, Abner, for a while espousing the cause of Ishbo-sheth, the only surviving son of Saul, "made him king over" a large proportion of the people, exclusive of Judah (2 Samuel 2:8). Already David had been anointed at Hebron by "the men of Judah, king over the house of Judah" (2 Samuel 2:1).

III. THE CROWNING OF DAVID AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF HIS KINGDOM 1. David at Hebron CHAPTER 11 _ 1. David crowned king (1 Chronicles 11:1)_ 2. Jerusalem becomes David's capital (1 Chronicles 11:4) 3. The record of David's mighty men (1 Chronicles 11:10) From the second book of Samuel we learned that the crowning of David in Hebron occurred after the death of Ishbosheth (2 Samuel 5). The previous reign of David for seven and a half years and his failures are here omitted. We shall find that Chronicles does not record all the failures and sins of David and Solomon. The b

JOEL THE BROTHER OF NATHAN. Not to be confused with Igal the son of Nathan. The lists are supplementary and independent, Chronicles being of later date, and adding several names after Uriah (1 Chronicles 11:41)....

(2 Samuel 23:8-39). David's Mighty Men and their Deeds (The names of twelve of these heroes reappear in chap. 27 as the commanders of David's twelve "courses.") This section seems to consist of elements drawn from different sources and brought together (probably by the author of Samuel) in order to give as complete a list as possible of the heroes who at different times in David's career did good service to Israel. 1 Chronicles 11:11 (2 Samuel 23:8-12) deal with two (in Sam. three) heroes otherwise unknown. 1 Chronicles 11:15 ...

3. DAVID'S MIGHTY MEN (1 Chronicles 11:10-47) TEXT 1 Chronicles 11:10. Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him King, according to the word of Jehovah concerning Israel. 11. And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them at one time. 12. And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men. 13. He was with David at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines. 14. And they s

DAVID'S CORONATION AT HEBRON AND HIS CAPTURE OF ZION The writer, though mentioning David's crowning at Hebron, omits all description of his 7 years' reign there, and in this chapter unites with some variations and additions two sections of 2 S, viz. 2 Samuel 5:1 and 2 Samuel 23:8....
