Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

8. Joab repaired the rest of the city-David built a new town to the north of the old one on Mount Zion; but Joab was charged with a commission to restore the part that had been occupied by the ancient Jebus, to repair the breaches made during the siege, to rebuild the houses which had been demolished or burned in the sacking of the town, and to preserve all that had escaped the violence of the soldiery. This work of reconstruction is not noticed elsewhere [Calmet].

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:1-9 David was brought to possess the throne of Israel after he had reigned seven years in Hebron, over Judah only. God's counsels will be fulfilled at last, whatever difficulties lie in the way. The way to be truly great, is to be really useful, to devote all our talents to the Lord.


1 Chronicles 11:7 Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.
1 Chronicles 11:9 David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him. (NASB ©1995)
