1 Crônicas 18

Bíblia Livre (BLIVRE) · Português

1 Depois destas coisas aconteceu que Davi feriu aos filisteus, e os humilhou; e tomou Gate e suas vilas das mãos dos filisteus. 2 Também feriu a Moabe; e os moabitas foram servos de Davi, trazendo-lhe tributos. 3 Assim feriu Davi a Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, em Hamate, quando ele foi assegurar seu domínio até o rio Eufrates. 4 E tomou-lhes Davi mil carros, e sete mil a cavalo, e vinte mil homens a pé; e Davi aleijou os cavalos de todos os carros, exceto os de cem carros que deixou. 5 E vindo os sírios de Damasco em ajuda de Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, Davi feriu dos sírios vinte e dois mil homens. 6 E Davi pôs guarnições na Síria de Damasco, e os sírios foram feitos servos de Davi, trazendo-lhe tributos; porque o SENHOR dava vitória a Davi por onde quer que fosse. 7 Tomou também Davi os escudos de ouro que levavam os servos de Hadadezer, e trouxe-os a Jerusalém. 8 Assim de Tibate e de Cum, cidades de Hadadezer, Davi tomou muito bronze, de que Salomão fez o mar de bronze, as colunas, e vasos de bronze. 9 E ouvindo Toú, rei de Hamate, que Davi havia defeito todo o exército de Hadadezer, rei de Zobá, 10 Enviou seu filho Hdorão ao rei Davi para saudar-lhe e para bendizer-lhe por haver guerreado com Hadadezer, e haver lhe vencido; porque Toú tinha guerra com Hadadezer. Enviou-lhe também toda sorte de artigos de ouro, de prata e de metal; 11 os quais o rei Davi dedicou a o SENHOR, com a prata e ouro que havia tomado de todas as nações, de Edom, de Moabe, dos filhos de Amom, dos filisteus, e de Amaleque. 12 Além disso Abisai, filho de Zeruia, feriu no vale do sal dezoito mil edomitas. 13 E pôs guarnições em Edom, e todos os edomitas foram servos de Davi; porque o SENHOR guardava a Davi por onde quer que fosse. 14 E reinou Davi sobre todo Israel, e fazia juízo e justiça a todo seu povo. 15 E Joabe, filho de Zeruia, era general do exército; e Josafá filho de Ailude, cronista; 16 E Zadoque, filho de Aitube, e Abimeleque filho de Abiatar, eram sacerdotes; e Sausa, secretário; 17 E Benaia, filho de Joiada, era sobre os quereteus e peleteus; e os filhos de Davi eram os principais próximos do rei.

1 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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 Crônicas 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.
