1 Crónicas 18

Nueva Traducción BibliaTodo (NTBT) · Español

1 Después de esto, David derrotó a los filisteos y los sometió. Les arrebató Gat y sus aldeas. 2 También derrotó a Moab, y los moabitas quedaron sujetos a David y le pagaban tributo. 3 David derrotó también a Hadad-ezer, rey de Soba, hacia Hamat, cuando este iba a establecer su dominio junto al río Éufrates. 4 David le capturó mil carros, siete mil jinetes y veinte mil soldados de infantería. David cortó los tendones de los caballos de todos los carros, pero dejó los necesarios para cien carros. 5 Cuando los arameos de Damasco vinieron a ayudar a Hadad-ezer, rey de Soba, David mató a veintidós mil arameos. 6 David estableció su dominio en Aram de Damasco, y los arameos quedaron sujetos a David y le pagaban tributo. Jehová daba la victoria a David por dondequiera que iba. 7 David tomó los escudos de oro que llevaban los servidores de Hadad-ezer y los llevó a Jerusalén. 8 De Tibhat y de Cun, ciudades de Hadad-ezer, David tomó muchísimo bronce. Con él Salomón hizo el Mar de bronce, las columnas y los utensilios de bronce. 9 Tou, rey de Hamat, oyó que David había derrotado a todo el ejército de Hadad-ezer, rey de Soba. 10 Envió a su hijo Adoram al rey David para saludarlo y felicitarlo por haber combatido contra Hadad-ezer y haberlo derrotado, pues Hadad-ezer había estado en guerra con Tou. Le llevó toda clase de objetos de oro, plata y bronce. 11 El rey David también los consagró a Jehová, junto con la plata y el oro que había tomado de todas las naciones: Edom, Moab, los amonitas, los filisteos y Amalec. 12 Abisai, hijo de Sarvia, mató a dieciocho mil edomitas en el valle de la Sal. 13 Estableció guarniciones en Edom, y todos los edomitas quedaron sujetos a David. Jehová daba la victoria a David por dondequiera que iba. 14 David reinó sobre todo Israel y administraba el derecho y la justicia a todo su pueblo. 15 Joab, hijo de Sarvia, estaba al frente del ejército; Josafat, hijo de Ahilud, era cronista; 16 Sadoc, hijo de Ahitob, y Abimelec, hijo de Abiatar, eran sacerdotes; Savsa era secretario; 17 Benaía, hijo de Joiada, estaba al frente de los cereteos y peleteos; y los hijos de David eran los principales junto al rey.

1 Crónicas 18:1

1Ch 18:1, 2. David Subdues the Philistines and Moabites.

1. David ... took Gath and her towns--The full extent of David's conquests in the Philistine territory is here distinctly stated, whereas in the parallel passage (2Sa 8:1) it was only described in a general way. Gath was the "Metheg-ammah," or "arm-bridle," as it is there called--either from its supremacy as the capital over the other Philistine towns, or because, in the capture of that important place and its dependencies, he obtained the complete control of his restless neighbors.

1 Crónicas 18:2

2. he smote Moab--The terrible severities by which David's conquest of that people was marked, and the probable reason of their being subjected to such a dreadful retribution, are narrated (2Sa 8:2).

the Moabites ... brought gifts--that is, became tributary to Israel.

1Ch 18:3-17. David Smites Hadadezer and the Syrians.

1 Crónicas 18:3

3. Hadarezer--or, "Hadadezer" (2Sa 8:3), which was probably the original form of the name, was derived from Hadad, a Syrian deity. It seems to have become the official and hereditary title of the rulers of that kingdom.

Zobah--Its situation is determined by the words "unto" or "towards Hamath," a little to the northeast of Damascus, and is supposed by some to be the same place as in earlier times was called Hobah (Ge 14:15). Previous to the rise of Damascus, Zobah was the capital of the kingdom which held supremacy among the petty states of Syria.

as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates--Some refer this to David, who was seeking to extend his possessions in one direction towards a point bordering on the Euphrates, in accordance with the promise (Ge 15:18; Nu 24:17). But others are of opinion that, as David's name is mentioned (1Ch 18:4), this reference is most applicable to Hadadezer.

1 Crónicas 18:4-8

4-8. And David took from him a thousand chariots--(See on 2Sa 8:3-14). In 2Sa 8:4 David is said to have taken seven hundred horsemen, whereas here it is said that he took seven thousand. This great discrepancy in the text of the two narratives seems to have originated with a transcriber in confounding the two Hebrew letters which indicate the numbers, and in neglecting to mark or obscure the points over one of them. We have no means of ascertaining whether seven hundred or seven thousand be the more correct. Probably the former should be adopted [Davidson's HERMENUTICS].

but reserved of them an hundred chariots--probably to grace a triumphal procession on his return to Jerusalem, and after using them in that way, destroy them like the rest.

1 Crónicas 18:9-13

9-13. Tou--or Toi--whose dominions border on those of Hadadezer. (See on 2Sa 8:9-12; 1Ki 11:15).

1 Crónicas 18:17

17. the Cherethites and the Pelethites--who formed the royal bodyguard. The Cherethites were, most probably, those brave men who all along accompanied David while among the Philistines, and from that people derived their name (1Sa 30:14; Eze 25:16; Zep 2:5) as well as their skill in archery--while the Pelethites were those who joined him at Ziklag, took their name from Pelet, the chief man in the company (1Ch 12:3), and, being Benjamites, were expert in the use of the sling.
