This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Ch_11:10 These also [are] the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, [and] with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
Ver. 10. These also are the chief of the mighties.] The same catalogue of David’s worthies we have in 2Sa_23:1-39, but here with a more ample inscription. Christ hath his heroes also, who in their several generations have done "worthily in Ephrata," and been "famous in Bethlehem." And if their names be not all registered on earth, yet they are "written in heaven," and shall one day be renowned in that great amphitheatre. {Heb_12:22-23}
Who strengthened themselves with him.] Where God intendeth to raise or preserve kingdoms and states, he giveth and gifteth men for the purpose; as he did for Alexander the Great, for the Romans, and for our Queen Elizabeth.
