1 Crónicas 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 Crónicas 13:1 In-Context

1 Entonces David consultó con los capitanes de millares y de centenas, es decir, con todos los jefes.

2 Y David dijo a toda la asamblea de Israel: Si os parece bien, y si es del SEÑOR nuestro Dios, enviemos mensaje a todas partes, a nuestros parientes que permanecen en toda la tierra de Israel, y también a los sacerdotes y a los levitas que están con ellos en sus ciudades y tierras de pastos, para que se reúnan con nosotros;

3 y traigamos a nosotros el arca de nuestro Dios, porque no la consultamos en los días de Saúl.

4 Toda la asamblea dijo que así lo harían, porque esto pareció bien a todo el pueblo.

5 Entonces David congregó a todo Israel, desde Sihor de Egipto hasta la entrada de Hamat, para traer el arca de Dios de Quiriat-jearim.
