1 Chronicles 19:5

_THEN THERE WENT CERTAIN, AND TOLD DAVID HOW THE MEN WERE SERVED. AND HE SENT TO MEET THEM: FOR THE MEN WERE GREATLY ASHAMED. AND THE KING SAID, TARRY AT JERICHO UNTIL YOUR BEARDS BE GROWN, AND THEN RETURN._ No JFB commentary on this verse....

EXPOSITION This chapter runs very closely parallel with 2 Samuel 10:1; a chapter also of nineteen verses. The slight differences between them avail to make one or the other narrative a little clearer or a little fuller. The time is only marked, as in the first verse of the preceding chapter, by the too general formula, "after this." Between the last verse of the preceding chapter and the first of this, we find interposed, in the Book of Samuel, the account of David's thoughts and deeds of kindness "for Jonathan's sake" to Mephibosheth "of the house of Saul," who was a son of Jonathan, though apparently not personally known at present to David. The chapter gives an account of David's war with Ammon and Aram allied temporarily, and the ungracious cause of the war—the insult put upon David's messengers, when sent on a mission of kindly and sincere condolence, on occasi

9. THE WARS WITH AMMON, SYRIA AND THE PHILISTINES (19-20) CHAPTER 19 _ 1. Hanun's insult to David's servants (1 Chronicles 19:1)_ 2. Joab's victory (1 Chronicles 19:6) 3. David's victorious campaign (1 Chronicles 19:17) See annotations on 2 Samuel chapter 10. The occasion of the war with the Ammonites was the insult to the messengers of David whom he had sent to the son of King Nahash. Nahash had died and David sent the messengers to comfort Hanun concerning his father. It gives a little glimpse of the tenderness of David. “But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he hath sent comfo

LESSON NINE 19-20 ISRAEL'S CONFLICT WITH AMMON THE CONQUEST OF THE PHILISTINES 11. VICTORY OVER AMMON AND SYRIA (1 Chronicles 19:1-19) INTRODUCTION The conflict with the Ammonites was one of the most critical in which David was ever involved. During this encounter David sinned with Bathsheba and opened the door to numerous troubles which plagued him until he died. He was a great king, but he failed God in this Bathsheba incident. TEXT 1 Chronicles 19:1. And it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead. 2. And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning hi
