**Then all Israel.** Compare [2 Samuel 5:2](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/2) . Omitting all events in Hebron ([2 Samuel 2:1-4](../../../kjv/2-samuel/2/1-4) ). See App-56 . In this chapter we have 1-3 David's Coronation; 4-9, David's Capital; 10-47, David's Captains.

**by Samuel.** Hebrew by the hand of Samuel: "hand" being put by Figure of speech *Metonymy* (of Cause), App-6 , for what is done or written by it.

**went to Jerusalem.** This is the first event recorded in Chronicles. See note on [2 Samuel 5:6-10](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/6-10) .

**repaired** = rebuilt.

**the mighty men.** Hebrew. *gibbor.* App-14 . Introduced here, at *beginning* of reign, instead of *end* of it ([2 Samuel 23:8-39](../../../kjv/2-samuel/23/8-39) ). Both positions full of instruction: Samuel, *chronological* ; Chronicles, *moral* (according to the word of the LORD). See App-56 .

**He was with David.** Eleazar. In 2Sa 23:11 , [2 Samuel 23:12](../../../kjv/2-samuel/23/12) , Shammah also was *with him.* Note the *plural* verbs in next verse, "theyset. and [they] delivered it and [they] slew". This account is supplementary, not contradictory.
**Pas-dammim.** Probably Ephes-dammim, between Shocoh and Azekah ([1 Samuel 17:1](../../../kjv/1-samuel/17/1) ).
**barley.** In [2 Samuel 23:11](../../../kjv/2-samuel/23/11) , "lentiles". Therefore the field contained both: and the accounts are complementary, not contradictory.

**they:** i.e. David and Eleazar. See note on [1 Chronicles 11:13](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/11/13) .
**saved them by a great deliverance.** Septuagint and Syriac read "wrought a great victory". Compare [2 Samuel 23:10](../../../kjv/2-samuel/23/10) , [2 Samuel 23:12](../../../kjv/2-samuel/23/12) .

**thirty.** See note on [1 Chronicles 27:1](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/27/1) .
**Rephaim.** Hebrew. *Rapha.* One of the great among the *Nephilim,* like Anak; giving his name to this valley. Compare [Joshua 15:8](../../../kjv/joshua/15/8) . [2 Samuel 5:18](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/18) , 2Sa 5:22 ; [2 Samuel 23:13](../../../kjv/2-samuel/23/13) .[Isaiah 17:5](../../../kjv/isaiah/17/5) .

**was** = came to be (as in [Genesis 1:2](../../../kjv/genesis/1/2) ),
**the three:** i.e. who performed the foregoing act.
**had.** Some codices, with five early printed editions, Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, read "he had".

**children** = sons.

**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](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/11/41) ).

**the Mesobaite.** Septuagint and Vulgate read "of (or from) Zobah".
