1 พงศาวดาร 3:8 วิจารณ์

Of all the families of Israel none was so illustrious as the family of David. That is the family which was mentioned in the foregoing chapter (Ch1 3:15). Here we have a full account of it. I. David's sons (Ch1 3:1-9). II. His successors in the throne as long as the kingdom continued (Ch1 3:10-16). III. The remains of his family in and after the captivity (Ch1 3:17-24). From this family, "as concerning the flesh, Christ came."

INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 3 This chapter gives an account of the sons of David, born to him both in Hebron and in Jerusalem, Ch1 3:1, and of his successors in the kingdom, to the Babylonish captivity, Ch1 3:10, and of his family, to the coming of the Messiah, Ch1 3:17.

The children of David which were born to him in Hebron, Ch1 3:1-4. Those born to him in Jerusalem, Ch1 3:5-9. The regal line from Solomon, Ch1 3:10-24.

Nine - There are thirteen if we count the four sons of Bath-sheba, and nine without them; and in the second book of Samuel there are eleven, reckoning the above four, and without them only seven. In the book of Samuel probably only those who were alive were reckoned, while the author of the Chronicles comprises those also who were dead in this enumeration. Jarchi supposes that the duplicate Elishama and Eliphelet are those which increase the regular number seven to nine; and that the dead without posterity, as well as the living, are mentioned to increase the number of David's descendants; for, says he, the whole book is written for the honor of David and his seed.

SONS OF DAVID. (Ch1 3:1-9) Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron--It is of consequence for the proper understanding of events in the domestic history of David, to bear in mind the place and time of his sons' birth. The oldest son, born after his father's accession to the sovereign authority, is according to Eastern notions, the proper heir to the throne. And hence the natural aspirations of ambition in Ammon, who was long unaware of the alienation of the crown, and could not be easily reconciled to the claims of a younger brother being placed above his own (see on Sa2 3:1-5).

nine--The number of David's sons born after his removal to Jerusalem, was eleven (Sa2 5:14), but only nine are mentioned here: two of them being omitted, either in consequence of their early deaths or because they left no issue.
