This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Spake I a word? did I ever give any command about it? without which neither they did, nor thou shouldst attempt it.
With any of the tribes: in 1Ch_17:6, it is of the judges; and to them, not to the tribes, the following words agree,
whom I commanded to feed my people Israel. Either therefore the tribes are here put synecdochically for the rulers of the tribes, as the word church is sometimes used for the governors of it; or the word here rendered tribes may be rendered sceptres, as it is used Gen_49:10, and sceptres put for sceptre-bearers or rulers, as is very frequent.
