Matthew Henry 1

“In this chapter we have, I. David's kingdom established, ver. 1, 2. II. His family built up, ver. 3-7. III. His enemies, the Philistines, routed in two campaigns, ver. 8-17. This is repeated here from 2 Sam. v. 11, &c. David's Kingdom Established. (b. c. 1045.) 1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house. 2 And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel. …”
