Introduction to 1 Chronicles Chapter 11
This chapter treats of David's being anointed king by all Israel, 1 Chronicles 11:1, which agrees with 2 Samuel 5:1
See Gill on "2 Samuel 5:1" See Gill on "2 Samuel 5:2" See Gill on "2 Samuel 5:3" and of his taking Jerusalem from the Jebusites, 1 Chronicles 11:4 the account of which we have 2 Samuel 5:6.
See Gill on "2 Samuel 5:6" See Gill on "2 Samuel 5:7" See Gill on "2 Samuel 5:8" See Gill on "2 Samuel 5:9" See Gill on "2 Samuel 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, 1 Chronicles 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, 1 Chronicles 11:10 of whom see the notes on
