1 Kronieken 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 Kronieken 13:1 In-Context

1 En David hield raad met de oversten der duizenden en der honderden, en met alle vorsten.

2 En David zeide tot de ganse gemeente van Israel: Indien het ulieden goeddunkt, en van den HEERE, onzen God, te zijn, laat ons ons uitbreiden, laat ons zenden aan onze overige broeders, in alle landen van Israel, en de priesters en Levieten, die met hen zijn in de steden, met haar voorsteden, opdat zij tot ons vergaderd worden.

3 En laat ons de ark onzes Gods tot ons wederhalen, want wij hebben ze in de dagen van Saul niet gezocht.

4 Toen zeide de ganse gemeente, dat men alzo doen zou; want die zaak was recht in de ogen des gansen volks.

5 David dan vergaderde gans Israel van het Egyptische Sichor af, tot daar men komt te Hamath, om de ark Gods te brengen van Kirjath-Jearim.
