1 Crônicas 13:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 13:1

And David consulted with the captains of thousands,
and hundreds, and with every leader.
] With the chiliarchs and centurions, and every officer in that large body of armed men in every tribe, who met to make and crown him king: for at that time was this consultation had, and therefore is connected with it; though the affair advised about was not yet done, as Dr. Lightfoot ^F8 observes, and was not done until some considerable time afterwards. Advice being taken, the several officers went with their men to their respective countries, to meet again at a certain time and place to put the thing projected into execution; and between this and that time were Hiram's message to David on his accession to the throne, the taking of Jerusalem, and the two battles with the Philistines, as the same writer notes; most of which are recorded before this in the book of Samuel, and follow here.

1 Crônicas 13:1 In-Context

1 Ora, Davi consultou os chefes dos milhares, e das centenas, a saber, todos os oficiais.

2 E disse Davi a toda a congregação de Israel: Se bem vos parece, e se isto vem do Senhor nosso Deus, enviemos mensageiros por toda parte aos nossos outros irmãos que estão em todas as terras de Israel, e com eles aos sacerdotes e levitas nas suas cidades, e nos seus campos, para que se reunam conosco,

3 e tornemos a trazer para nós a arca do nosso Deus; porque não a buscamos nos dias de Saul.

4 E toda a congregação concordou em que assim se fizesse; porque isso pareceu reto aos olhos de todo o povo.

5 Convocou, pois, Davi todo o Israel desde Sior, o ribeiro do Egito, até a entrada de Hamate, para trazer de Quiriate-Jearim a arca de Deus.
