1 Chronicles 13:1

1 Chronicles 13:1 -

EXPOSITION

The opening verses of this chapter explain and amplify the compressed announcement of 2 Samuel 6:1 , "Again, David gathered together all the chosen of Israel, thirty thousand." And the remaining verses (6-14) cover the same ground as 2 Samuel 6:2-11 .

There can be little doubt that the captains of thousands and hundreds... with every leader , here spoken of, represented what had become by this time a confirmed institution, although in embryo, dating from the time of Moses at least ( Numbers 31:14 ; Deuteronomy 1:15 ; 20:7 ; 2 Chronicles 20:21 ).
