1 Chronicles 11:42

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). And David continued "king in Hebron over the house of Judah seven years and six months" (2 Samuel 2:11; 2Sa 5:5; 1 Kings 2:11;...

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

DAVID MADE KING IN HEBRON; JERUSALEM TAKEN; DAVID'S MIGHTY MEN (see notes on 2 Samuel 5:1; 2 Samuel 5:6; 2 Samuel 23:8). 1 Chronicles 11:42. An addition by the Chronicler from some unknown source....

_and thirty with him_ This clause is probably a marginal note taken into the text at the wrong place. It was apparently meant to stand after the name of Uriah the Hittite (1 Chronicles 11:41) by some scribe who followed our present text and referred "the sons of Hashem" (1 Chronicles 11:34) to Azmaveth and Eliahba (1 Chronicles 11:33), thus reckoning just thirty names from Asahel to Uriah. The clause should be read _either_"and up to him are thirty" _or_"and all of them are thirty" (cp. 2 Samuel 23:39)....

AND THIRTY WITH HIM— Though the author of the book of Samuel concludes with Uriah, the last of the thirty-seven, yet the author of this book adds fifteen warriors more. These fifteen are, undoubtedly, recorded because they were brave men; and we may fairly presume that they were recorded after the thirty-seven, because their bravery was not equally eminent and serviceable. As the thirty were inferior to the seven, to the captain-general, and to the three generals of the two ternaries, so were these fifteen inferior to the thirty; and, indeed, this is expressly observed of Adina, and very properly observed of him as being the first of the following number; for in this verse we read, _Adina, a captain of the Reubenites,_ שׁלשׁים ועליו _vealaiv sheloshim,_ which is just the reverse of what is said of Benaiah, chap. 1 Chronicles 27:6. השׁלשׁים על al hasheloshim. He was supe

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....
