John Gill’s Commentary of the Whole Bible: 1 Chronicles 11

1 Chronicles 11:1

INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 11

This chapter treats of David’s being anointed king by all Israel, 1Ch 11:1, which agrees with 2Sa 5:1

See Gill on “2Sa 5:1” See Gill on “2Sa 5:2” See Gill on “2Sa 5:3” and of his taking Jerusalem from the Jebusites, 1Ch 11:4 the account of which we have 2Sa 5:6.

See Gill on “2Sa 5:6” See Gill on “2Sa 5:7” See Gill on “2Sa 5:8” See Gill on “2Sa 5:9” See Gill on “2Sa 5:10” only here we are told, that it was Joab that smote the Jebusites first, and so was made chief captain according to David’s promise; and that he also repaired the rest of the city David built round about; perhaps the fortifications demolished in taking it, 1Ch 11:6 or rather, as others give the sense, he “saved alive” {b} those that remained in the city, after he had slain the lame and the blind; though a learned {c} writer conjectures it should be read, “and Joab hyhy was made

rv the governor of the city”; and the Targum is,

“Joab governed the rest of the city.”

And then follows an account of David’s mighty men and worthies, 1Ch 11:10 of whom see the notes on

See Gill on “2Sa 23:8” See Gill on “2Sa 23:9” See Gill on “2Sa 23:10” See Gill on “2Sa 23:11” See Gill on “2Sa 23:12” See Gill on “2Sa 23:13” See Gill on “2Sa 23:14” See Gill on “2Sa 23:15” See Gill on “2Sa 23:16” See Gill on “2Sa 23:17” See Gill on “2Sa 23:18” See Gill on “2Sa 23:19” See Gill on “2Sa 23:20” See Gill on “2Sa 23:21” See Gill on “2Sa 23:22” See Gill on “2Sa 23:23” See Gill on “2Sa 23:24” See Gill on “2Sa 23:25” See Gill on “2Sa 23:26” See Gill on “2Sa 23:27” See Gill on “2Sa 23:28” See Gill on “2Sa 23:29” See Gill on “2Sa 23:30” See Gill on “2Sa 23:31” See Gill on “2Sa 23:32” See Gill on “2Sa 23:33” See Gill on “2Sa 23:34” See Gill on “2Sa 23:35” See Gill on “2Sa 23:36” See Gill on “2Sa 23:37” See Gill on “2Sa 23:38” See Gill on “2Sa 23:39” and others are added here, 1Ch 11:42 of whom we know no more than their names.
