Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 40. - Moreover, they that were nigh them. The meaning is that not only the "brethren" of Judah and of the nearer neighbourhood of Hebron joined to entertain and to show hospitality to the immense throngs of visitors, but that others did so in ever-widening circles, even as far as the remoter Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali. For there was joy in Israel. The joy must have been largely enhanced by the national consciousness of divided rule coming to an end, and of the cloud and frown of the Divine countenance having cleared mercifully away. All now could join to show loyalty and to feel it towards one king, of whom they had reason to believe that he was the chosen of God as of themselves.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(40) They that were nigh them.--The tribes bordering on Judah (LXX. ?? ??????????), and even the northern tribes, contributed provisions.Brought, were bringing.Asses . . . camels . . . mules . . . oxen, but not horses, were the usual beasts of burden in rocky Canaan.Meat, meal.--Rather, food of flour.Bunches.--Rather, cakes of raisins; masses of dried figs and raisins were, and are, a staple article of' food i?? the East (comp. 1Samuel 25:18; Amos 8:11). The simple diction of the narrative, reminding us of Homer's feasts, is a mark of its ancient origin.1 Chronicles 13-16 form a complete section relating to the transfer of the Ark from Kirjath-jearim to its new sanctuary at Jerusalem. The continuity of the narrative is only suspended by the short parenthetic 1 Chronicles 14. 1 Chronicles 13 is closely parallel to 2Samuel 6:1-11. The introduction, however (1Chronicles 12:1-5), is much fuller than that of Samuel, which is condensed into one brief sentence. . . .
