Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 11:42
1 Chronicles 11:42. And thirty with him— Though the author of the book of Samuel concludes with Uriah, the last of the thirty-seven, yet the author of this book adds fifteen warriors more. These fifteen are, undoubtedly, recorded because they were brave men; and we may fairly presume that they were recorded after the thirty-seven, because their bravery was not equally eminent and serviceable. As the thirty were inferior to the seven, to the captain-general, and to the three generals of the two... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 11:41
41. Uriah the Hittite—The enrolment of this name in such a list, attesting, as it does, his distinguished merits as a brave and devoted officer, aggravates the criminality of David's outrage on his life and honor. The number of the names at 1 Chronicles 11:26-41 (exclusive of Asahel and Uriah, who were dead) is thirty, and at :- is sixteen—making together forty-eight (see on :-). Of those mentioned ( :-), the greater part belonged to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin; the sixteen names ( :-)... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 11:1-47
David’s Coronation at Hebron and his Capture of ZionThe writer, though mentioning David’s crowning at Hebron, omits all description of his 7 years’ reign there, and in this chapter unites with some variations and additions two sections of 2 S, viz. 2 Samuel 5:1-10 and 2 Samuel 23:8-39.6. So Joab, etc.] This is an addition to the account in 2 Samuel 5:8.10. Strengthened themselves] better, ’exerted themselves.’11. The chief of the captains] another reading is ’chief of the thirty’: cp. 1... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 11:10-44
(10-44) X list of the warriors who helped David to win and maintain his kingdom. This catalogue answers to that of 2 Samuel 23:8-39, which, however, breaks off with Uriah the Hittite; whereas our text communicates sixteen additional names. This fact proves that the chronicler had either a fuller source, or a different recension of Samuel. The numerous variant spellings are in general mistakes of transcription. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 11:26-47
(26-47) A catalogue of forty-eight “doughty warriors.” Sixteen names are here added to the list as given in Samuel. The chronicler, therefore, possessed a source more complete than our Book of Samuel. Variations of spelling abound in the names common to the two texts, the transcription of proper names being especially liable to error. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 11:41
(41) Uriah the Hittite.—His history, omitted by Chronicles, is told in 2 Samuel 11:0. The list of heroes in Samuel closes with this name, adding by way of summation, “all, thirty and seven.”The sixteen names which follow may indicate a later revision of the catalogue. They are not given elsewhere. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 11:42
(42) A captain of the Reubenites (or, chief; Heb., head) and thirty with him (besides him).—Literally, upon him. So LXX. Syriac reads “and he was commanding thirty men,” which gives the apparent meaning of the verse. If, as seems likely, the “thirty” were the officers of David’s guard of six hundred warriors (1 Samuel 23:13; 1 Samuel 30:10; 2 Samuel 15:18), called “the mighty men,” or heroes (2 Samuel 10:7; 2 Samuel 20:7; 1 Kings 1:8). each captain would lead about twenty men. Adina’s corps is... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:1-47
David made king (11:1-12:40)It seems clear that the writer of Chronicles assumes that his readers have already read the books of Samuel and Kings. (In this commentary also it is assumed that the reader has read these books. For further details see notes and maps at the relevant places in Samuel and Kings, and the appendix at the end of Chronicles.)In view of his readers’ assumed knowledge, the Chronicler makes no attempt to record events that have little to do with his central purpose. For... read more
