Biblehub 1 Chronicles 18:14–17 9:2 Samuel 8:15–18 9. David conquers the neighboring nations (18:1–13) This section is a summary as well as interpretation of 2 Samuel 8:1–18 9, forming a single unified content. The condensation of multiple wars into one narrative provides the impression of David as a warrior, which would disqualified him from the task of building the temple because this requires peace (cf. Deuteronomy 12 9).Mathys 2007 277 David was successful in his wars against the Philistines to the west (verse 1; 1 Chronicles 20:4–8 9), against Edom to the southeast (verses 12–13), against Moab (verse 2) and Ammon (1 Chronicles 19:1–19 9; 1 Chronicles 20:1–3 9) to the east and against a number of Aramean kings to the northeast (verses 3–8; 1 Chronicles 19:6–19 9), as a fulfillment of Nathan's prophecy that David would subjugate all his enemies.Coogan 2007 604 Hebrew Bible Verse 4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.1 Chronicles 18:4 KJV KJV "Seven thousand horsemen": 2 Samuel 8:4 9 notes "seven hundred horsemen" (KJV; NKJV).Note [a] on 1 Chronicles 18:4 in NKJV The number was probably multiplied by ten by the Chronicler (cf. 1 Chronicles 19:18),Mathys 2007 277 or the Chronicler notes the final number of killed horsemen when David 'established his power by the River Euphrates' (1 Chronicles 18:3 NKJV) whereas the number in 2 Samuel 8:4 was when David initially 'recover his border at the River Euphrates' (2 Samuel 8:3 NKJV).

He was the commander and "most honoured" of the second rank of David's officers, below the three "mighty men".2 Samuel 23:18,19 9; 1 Chronicles 11:20,21 9 The parallel text of 2 Samuel 8:13 attributes Abishai's achievement to David.Coogan 2007 605 Hebrew BibleNote [b] on 1 Chronicles 18:12 in NET Bible In the title of Psalm 60, Joab, Abishai's brother, got the credit for killing 12,000 Edomites at the same place, suggesting the probability of Abishai commanding the battle, while Joab completed the conquest of the country (cf. 1 Kings 11:16).Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges. 1 Chronicles 18.

"Valley of Salt": located in Edom, also the place of the achievement of Amaziah (1 Kings 11:14-17 9; 2 Kings 14:7 9; 2 Chronicles 25:11 9), who proceeded with ten thousand prisoners to 'precipitate them down the cliff', i.e. Petra (he הַסֶּלַע; 2 Chronicles 25:12 9). The word "valley" here is he גֵּיא (Psalm 23:4 9), signifying "ravine", not he עֵמֶק which is more generic.Exell, Joseph S.; Spence-Jones, Henry Donald Maurice (Editors). On "1 Chronicles 18".

David’s officials (18:14–17) This passage contains a list of David's highest officers after the wars, because of the significant role of military ranks during the conquests.Mathys 2007 277 It reflects the growth of bureaucracy accompanying the expansion of the kingdom.Coogan 2007 605 Hebrew Bible Verse 17 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers at the king’s side.1 Chronicles 17:14 NKJV NKJV "Chief ministers at the king’s side": from Hebrew he הראשנים ליד המלך, hā-ri-šō-nîm H 7223 lə-yaḏ H 3027 ha-me-leḵ H 4428,1 Chronicles 18:17 Hebrew text analysis. Biblehub literally "the_first_ ones at_the_hand of_the_king."Note [b] on 1 Chronicles 18:17 in NET BibleNote on 1 Chronicles 18:17 in NKJV The term clarifies the use of the word "priests" in the parallel text of 2 Samuel 8:18 9 which allows different interpretations.Mathys 2007 277 Here it means that 'David employs his sons as high-ranking officials in his cabinet' (not as 'priests' for worship services), a practice that was also performed by at least other two kings (2 Chronicles 11:22–23; 21:3).Coogan 2007 605 Hebrew Bible See also 22em David's Mighty Warriors House of David Jerusalem Solomon Related Bible parts: Exodus 26, Numbers 4, 1 Kings 4, 2 Samuel 8, 1 Chronicles 22, 2 Chronicles 11, 2 Chronicles 21, Psalm 60 References Sources Ackroyd Peter R Chronicles, Books of Metzger Bruce M Bruce M.
