1 Chronicles 18 - Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

David's Wars (see notes on 2 Samuel 8). Gath and her towns: lit. and her daughters; in 2 Samuel 8:1 the words the bridle of the mother city are probably corrupt.

1 Chronicles 18:17. the sons of David were chief about the king: the words in 2 Samuel 8:18, and David's sons were priests, were altered by the Chronicler, who held that only the descendants of Aaron could be priests.
