**Hiram.** See note on [2 Samuel 5:11](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/11) .

**the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 .

**more wives.** Compare [1 Chronicles 3:9](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/3/9) . [2 Samuel 5:13-16](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/13-16) .

**children:** of both sexes.

**Beeliada.** In [2 Samuel 5:16](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/16) called Eliada, which was a later name, perhaps changed from Beeliada because of the name "Baal", or lord, which, at first innocent, came to be associated with idolatry. See note on [1 Chronicles 8:34](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/8/34) .

**seek** = search for. Hebrew. *bakkesh,* especially to seek for blood or life. Compare [2 Samuel 4:11](../../../kjv/2-samuel/4/11) , "require".
**went out against them.** [2 Samuel 5:17](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/17) says "went down to the hold". But this was earlier; for the later command was "thou shalt bestir thyself", which corresponds with the command "Go up" ([1 Chronicles 14:10](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/14/10) ) here, as well as with "thou shalt bestir thyself" of [2 Samuel 5:24](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/24) .

**Rephaim** = Rapha. See note on [1 Chronicles 11:15](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/11/15) .

**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 . In [2 Samuel 5:19](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/19) it is Jehovah. Here, it is God's power as Creator. In [2 Samuel 5:19](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/19) it is Jehovah's faithfulness to David. Both pleas were in David's mind, and the accounts are complementary. Compare them in this narrative. Here, Elohim six times; Jehovah once. In 2 Samuel, Jehovah six times; Elohim not once.

**left their gods.** Compare [1 Samuel 4:7](../../../kjv/1-samuel/4/7) .
**they were burned with fire.** This is supplementary information. In [2 Samuel 5:21](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/21) David "took them away": i.e. to burn them, as recorded here.

**Gibeon.** In [2 Samuel 5:25](../../../kjv/2-samuel/5/25) , Geba. But both places were close together, and the accounts are independent.
**Gazer** = Gezer. See note on [1 Kings 9:15-17](../../../kjv/1-kings/9/15-17) .

**all nations.** Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of Genus), App-6 , put for nations in all parts of the world.
