1–9. David's reign over all Israel in Hebron. 10–47. List of heroes, companions of David. This chapter repeats, with minor changes, the contents of (2 Samuel 5:1–10) (corresponding here to verses 1 Chronicles 11:1–9) and (2 Samuel 23:8–39) (corresponding here to verses 1 Chronicles 11:10–47). 1 Chronicles 11:1. And all Israel gathered to David at Hebron and said, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh; 1 Chronicles 11:2. Yesterday and the day before, while Saul was still king, you brought Israel out and brought in, and the Lord your God said to you, “You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be the leader of My people Israel.” 1 Chronicles 11:3. And all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord, through Samuel. The anointing of David as king over all Israel did not take place after the death of Saul, as can be concluded based on the narrative of the book. Chronicles, and after the death of Saul’s successor on the throne, Ishbosheth (2 Samuel 3–5). The history of his reign, marked by an internecine war between the houses of Saul and David, is omitted by the author of the book. Chronicles, perhaps, because it constitutes a dark page in the history of the latter’s reign. Compared to (2 Samuel 5:3), this verse has a slight addition: “according to the word of the Lord, through Samuel.” The following then art. (2 Samuel 5:4–5), containing an indication of the years of David upon his accession and the duration of his reign in Hebron and Jerusalem, are omitted by the author of Chronicles in order not to disrupt the coherence of the narrative. Book dates Kings is given by him at the end of his review of David's reign (1 Chronicles 29:27). 1 Chronicles 11:5. And the men of Jebus said unto David, Thou shalt not come in here. But David took the fortress of Zion; this is the city of David. Due to his penchant for abbreviations, the author of Chronicles skips the words of the book.

And David said, Whoever defeats the Jebusites first will be the leader and commander of the army. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first of all, and became the head. In accordance with the omission in verse 5 and 6, the verse is read completely differently than its parallel one (2 Samuel 5:8). But both David’s proposal and Joab’s execution of it find their explanation: the first in the arrogance of the Jebusites, the second in the courage of Joab. 1 Chronicles 11:8. And he built the city all around, starting from Millo, all the way around, and Joab rebuilt the rest of the city. The Book of Kings does not speak of Joab's participation in the work of building Jerusalem; but it is quite natural in view of the role he played in the conquest of the city. 1 Chronicles 11:9. And David prospered and rose higher and higher, and the Lord of hosts was with him. 1 Chronicles 11:10. These are the chief of the mighty of David, who labored mightily with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord, over Israel, The enumeration of the heroes - companions of David, who contributed to the glory of his reign, at the beginning of the presentation of the history of his reign, finds its explanation in the desire and desire of the author to note the most brilliant pages of his activity.

The number three hundred is thought to be put in line in the book of Chronicles (1 Chronicles 11:20), which refers to Abishai. 1 Chronicles 11:12. According to it, Eleazar, son of Dodo the Ahochite, is one of the three brave men: The name of the third hero, as can be seen from book 2. Kings (2 Samuel 23:11) – Shamna. Pass in the book.

Chronicles, and Shammoi. 1 Chronicles 11:23. he killed the Egyptian, a man five cubits tall: in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear, like a weaver’s beam, and he approached him with a stick and, tearing the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, killed him with his own spear: Five cubits equals approximately 3 3/4 arshins. In the book. Kings (2 Samuel 23:21) there is no definition of height, and the expression “prominent” is used. “Navoy at the weavers” - increase of the book. Paralipomenon. 1 Chronicles 11:27. Shammah the Harodite; Heretz the Pelonite; The name Herez should be preceded by “Elikah the Harodite” (2 Samuel 23:25). The homeland of Heretz is called in book 2. Kings (2 Samuel 23:26) Palti.
