1Chr 11:1-9

Back to Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible

David raised to the throne. (1-9) A list of David's mighty men. (10-47)

1-9 David was brought to possess the throne of Israel after he had reigned seven years in Hebron, over Judah only. God's counsels will be fulfilled at last, whatever difficulties lie in the way. The way to be truly great, is to be really useful, to devote all our talents to the Lord.
