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 David intenta trasladar el arca
David consultó con todos sus oficiales, entre ellos los generales y capitanes de su ejército.

2 Luego se dirigió a toda la asamblea de Israel con las siguientes palabras: «Si ustedes lo aprueban y si es la voluntad del Señor
nuestro Dios, enviemos un mensaje a todos los israelitas por toda esta tierra, incluidos los sacerdotes y los levitas en sus ciudades y pastizales, a que se unan a nosotros.

3 Es hora de traer de regreso el arca de nuestro Dios, porque la descuidamos durante el reinado de Saúl».

4 Toda la asamblea estuvo de acuerdo, porque el pueblo comprendía que esto era lo correcto.

5 De manera que David convocó a todo Israel, desde el arroyo de Sihor en Egipto al sur hasta la ciudad de Lebo-hamat al norte, para que participara en el traslado del arca de Dios de Quiriat-jearim.
