Guzik points out that "Jerusalem became the capital city of David’s kingdom. It was a good choice because (1) had no prior tribal association and was therefore good for a unified Israel and (2) the geography of the city made it easy to defend against a hostile army." City of David - 42 verses in the Bible (note 2 in NT) - 2 Sam. 5:7; 2 Sam. 5:9; 2 Sam. 6:10; 2 Sam. 6:12; 2 Sam. 6:16; 1 Ki. 2:10; 1 Ki. 3:1; 1 Ki. 8:1; 1 Ki. 9:24; 1 Ki. 14:31; 1 Ki. 15:8; 1 Ki. 15:24; 2 Ki. 8:24; 2 Ki. 9:28; 2 Ki. 12:21; 2 Ki. 14:20; 2 Ki. 15:7; 2 Ki. 15:38; 2 Ki. 16:20; 1 Chr. 11:5; 1 Chr. 11:7; 1 Chr. 13:13; 1 Chr. 15:1; 1 Chr. 15:29; 2 Chr. 5:2; 2 Chr. 8:11; 2 Chr. 12:16; 2 Chr. 14:1; 2 Chr. 16:14; 2 Chr. 21:1; 2 Chr. 21:20; 2 Chr. 24:16; 2 Chr. 24:25; 2 Chr. 27:9; 2 Chr. 32:5; 2 Chr. 32:30; 2 Chr. 33:14; Neh. 3:15; Neh. 12:37; Isa. 22:9; Lk. 2:4; Lk. 2:11 THOUGHT On the same principle (DAVID CAPTURING A LONG TIME STRONGHOLD), King Jesus conquers old strongholds when He becomes King over our lives. Territory (ED: LIKE JEBUS) that should have been given to Him long ago is now conquered. “I want to say to you in the name of the Lord Jesus that there is no habit that has gone so deep but that the power of the blood of Jesus can go deeper, and there is no entrenchment of sin that has gone so far but the power of the risen Lord, by His Holy Spirit, can go further.” (Alan Redpath in The Making of a Man of God Life of David) 1 Chronicles 11:8 He built the city all around, from the Millo even to the surrounding area; and Joab repaired the rest of the city. PARALLEL: 2 Samuel 5:9b And David built all around from the Millo and inward. See commentary on 2 Samuel 5 for more detail Millo: Jdg 9:6,20 1Ki 9:15 11:27 2Ki 12:20 built: Ne 4:2 DAVID REBUILD JERUSALEM CITY OF DAVID, ZION He built the city all around, from the Millo even to the surrounding area; and Joab repaired the rest of the city. - So not only did Joab lead the assault on Jebus, but he also was instrumental in restoring the rest of the city, the Septuagint stating that he fortified it. So he did just apply some paint to touch up the city aesthetically, but as a military man, he made it more defensible and impregnable from enemy attacks. The verb repaired in this context relates to the repair of fortifications of Jerusalem and in Neh. 4:2 to the rebuilding of a protective outer wall of Jerusalem. Believer's Study Bible - "Millo," which in Hebrew means "filling" (Lit. The Landfill), was most likely a fortress or defensive tower erected on a filled-in piece of earth to help protect the City of David. The crucial fact is in v. 7, namely, that David captured this ancient Jebusite fortress and made it "the City of David." Thus began the history of the city of Jerusalem as a sacred city for the Jewish people. MILLO [SMITH] (a rampart, mound) a place in ancient Jerusalem. Both name and place seem to have been already in existence when the city was taken from the Jebusites by David. (2 Samuel 5:9; 1 Chronicles 11:8) Its repair or restoration was one of the great works for which Solomon raised his "levy," (1 Kings 9:15,24; 11:27) and it formed a prominent part of the fortifications by which Hezekiah prepared for the approach of the Assyrians. (2 Chronicles 32:5) The last passage seems to show that "the Milo" was part of the "city of David," that is, of Zion. Comp. (2 Kings 12:20) NAVES on MILLO - A name given to part of the citadel of Jerusalem, 2 Sam. 5:9; 1 Chr. 11:8. King Solomon raises a levy to repair, 1 Kin. 9:15, 24; 11:27. Repaired by King Hezekiah, 2 Chr. 32:5. King Joash murdered at, 2 Kin. 12:20.

PARALLEL: 2 Samuel 5:10 David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of hosts was with him.

KJV 1 Chronicles 11:9 So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him. NET 1 Chronicles 11:9 David's power steadily grew, for the LORD who commands armies was with him. CSB 1 Chronicles 11:9 David steadily grew more powerful, and the LORD of Hosts was with him. ESV 1 Chronicles 11:9 And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.

NLT 1 Chronicles 11:9 And David became more and more powerful, because the LORD of Heaven's Armies was with him. David became greater and greater: Heb. went in going and increasing, 2Sa 3:1 5:10 Job 17:9 Isa 9:7 for : 1Ch 9:20 Ps 46:7,11 Isa 8:9,10 41:10,14 Ro 8:31 Related Passage: Romans 8:31+ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? DAVID'S SOURCE OF STRENGTH THE LORD OF HOSTS David became greater and greater - NET = "David's power steadily grew, for the LORD who commands armies was with him." Guzik points out that "David knew greatness, but he was by no means an “overnight success.” David was long prepared for the greatness he later enjoyed, and he came to the place of greatness because the LORD of hosts was with him. i. In God’s plan, there is almost always a hidden price of greatness. Often those who become great among God’s people experience much pain and difficulty in God’s training process.

Guzik - In God’s plan there is almost always a hidden price of greatness. Often those who become great among God’s people experience much pain and difficulty in God’s training process. THOUGHT - Even as David relied on the strength from the LORD (WHOLLY RELYING ON THE HOLY SPIRIT), so too should we, "though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses." (2Cor 10:3-4+). We walk in an evil world and are continually in a fierce spiritual war with invisible powerful forces. We win because we are more than conquerors in Christ and the battle is the LORD'S. THOUGHT on greater and greater - Beloved, is this not what should be transpiring in each of our lives as followers of Jesus? We are to be growing "greater and greater," which in NT terms means we are being progressively transformed into greater and greater degrees of Christlikeness (2Co 3:18+). Are you? Am I? This progressive sanctification will only transpire because the LORD God of hosts is with us, as we take in His Word with which His Spirit transforms us! So it also begs the question are you daily taking in God's Word, so that God's Spirit has "raw material" to work with? 1 Chronicles 11:10 Now these are the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel. 2 Samuel 5:11+ Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees and carpenters and stonemasons; and they built a house for David. 12 And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel. Now these are the heads of the mighty men: 2Sa 23:8 to make: 1Ch 12:38 2Sa 3:17,18,21 according: 1Sa 16:1,12-14 Related Passage: 1 Chronicles 12:38 All these, being men of war who could draw up in battle formation, came to Hebron with a perfect heart to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one mind to make David king. 1 Samuel 16:1; 12-14+ Now the LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have selected a king for Myself among his sons.” .....12-14 So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is he.” 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward. (THE SOURCE OF DAVID'S STRENGTH!) And Samuel arose and went to Ramah. 14 Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD terrorized him.

Guzik points out that "It’s important to understand that David was nothing without his mighty men, and they were nothing without him. He was their leader, but a leader is nothing without followers – and David had the mighty men to follow him. These men didn’t necessarily start as mighty men; many were the distressed, indebted, and discontented people who followed David at Adullam Cave (1 Samuel 22:1-2). Andrew Hill: These elite troops are professional soldiers, not vulgar mercenaries. They live and die by the military code of their day—a code of honor that even prohibited the enjoyment of personal pleasures while on “active duty” (cf. 2 Sam. 11:11). David’s “mighty men” (haggibborim) are the ancient equivalent of both the modern-day “special forces” military units and the “secret service,” charged with the protection of our highest elected officials (note their roles as both irrepressible warriors in the face of overwhelming odds and as bodyguards to the king, (2 Sam. 23:23; 1 Chron. 11:25). TSK on mighty men - The valiant men who assisted David in his advancement, and helped to establish him in his authority, were those, in all likelihood, that had accompanied him during his persecution by Saul. Utley on "these are the heads of the mighty men" These mercenary warriors of David are structured into (1) the three, 1 Chr. 11:12,18,20,24,25,42; related to 1 Chr. 11:17-19 (2) the thirty, 1 Chr. 11:11,15,20,25,42 (3) the second rank of the three, 1 Chr. 11:21 and (4) the chief of the thirty, 1 Chr. 11:11,20. They came from several tribes to reinforce the "all Israel" theme. The exploits of these men are told by Josephus in Antiq. 7.3.1,2 and Josephus 7.12.4. Henry

Guzik points out that "The fact that Jashobeam was a chief of the captains shows that he was a leader among leaders. This means that even leaders need leaders. Also, his victory alone was counted, showing that numbers are important, but they are not the only measure. Believer's Study Bible - For "three hundred," 2 Sam. 23:8 has "eight hundred." The difference is the result of a copyist error. The number in Samuel is likely to be the correct one. A copyist of Chronicles may have anticipated the "three hundred" in v. 20. Alternately, since "eight" was written with a sign for "five" and three vertical strokes, the sign for "five" may have been missed. 1 Chronicles 11:12 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men. Eleazar: 1Ch 27:4, Dodai, 2Sa 23:9 Ahohite: 1Ch 8:4 the three: 1Ch 11:19,21 2Sa 23:17-19,23 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men - NLT = "12 Next in rank among the Three was Eleazar son of Dodai, a descendant of Ahoah." "Dodo" In 1 Chr. 27:4 it is "Dodai," but "Dodo" in 2 Sam. 23:9. his man led a singular battle against a far more numerous foe, so much so that his hand was stuck to his sword (2 Samuel 23:10). 1 Chronicles 11:13 He was with David at Pasdammim when the Philistines were gathered together there to battle, and there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled before the Philistines. Pasdammim (KJV): Ephes-dammim is here called Pas-dammim, by apheresis. 1Sa 17:1, Ephes-dammim He was with David at Pasdammim ("border of blood," "place of blood") when the Philistines were gathered together there to battle, and there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled before the Philistines The third great hero, Shammah, is not included in this list; his exploits are recounted in 2Sa 23:11-12. Pasdammim" is a location in Judah, sixteen miles southwest of Jerusalem (cf. 1Sa 17:1, "Ephes-dammin"). 1 Chronicles 11:14 And they took their stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and struck down the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory. and the Lord: 1Sa 14:23 19:5 2Sa 23:10 2Ki 5:1 Ps 18:50 saved them by a great victory. Ps 144:10 Pr 21:31 And they took their stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and struck down the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory - Saved refers to their physical deliverance and is the verb yasha' (Lxx = sozo) (See SPECIAL TOPIC: SALVATION (OT Term)) Life Application Study Bible - Eleazar's action changed the course of a battle. When everyone around him ran, he held his ground alongside David and was saved by the Lord. In any struggle, fear can keep us from taking a stand for God and from participating in God's victories. Face your fear head-on. Find other believers along the way who are worth standing beside through thick and thin. If you are grounded in God, victory will come when you hold that ground. 1 Chronicles 11:15 Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines was camping in the valley of Rephaim. of the thirty captains: or, captains over the thirty, 2Sa 23:13-39 the cave: Jos 12:15 1Sa 22:1 Mic 1:15 in the: 1Ch 14:9 2Sa 5:18,22 Isa 17:5 Rephaim: Jos 15:8, the giants Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines was camping in the valley of Rephaim - NLT = "Once when David was at the rock near the cave of Adullam, the Philistine army was camped in the valley of Rephaim. The Three (who were among the Thirty--an elite group among David's fighting men) went down to meet him there." Believer's Study Bible - This is a second group of three, which included Abishai (vv. 20, 21). They ranked below the first three. 1 Chronicles 11:16 And David was then in the stronghold, while the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. n the hold (KJV): 1Sa 22:1 23:25 Ps 142:1 *title the Philistines' (KJV): 1Sa 10:5 13:4,23 And David was then in the stronghold (mesudah), while the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 1 Chronicles 11:17 And David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!" longed (KJV): Nu 11:4,5 2Sa 23:15,16 Ps 143:6 of the water (KJV): Ps 42:1,2 63:1 Isa 12:3 Joh 4:10,14 And David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!"

Guzik writes "In response to David’s longing – which wasn’t a command or even a request, just a vocalized longing – three of David’s mighty men decided to give him what he was longing for. They had to break through the garrison of the Philistines to do it, and to bring the water all the way back to Adullam Cave. It was a dangerous and difficult mission, but the courage and persistence of the mighty men made it happen.

Guzik - These remarkable men were the foundation of the greatness of David’s reign. They did not come to David as great men. But God used David’s leadership to transform them from the men who met David back at Adullam Cave; men who were in distress, in debt and discontented (1 Samuel 22:1-2). G Campbell
