SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:39
Y estuvieron allí con David tres días comiendo y bebiendo, porque sus hermanos habían preparado para ellos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 12:39
Verse 39. They were with David three days] These were the deputies of the different people mentioned here: it is not possible that all the thousands mentioned above could have feasted with David for three days; and yet it appears there was even of these a great number, for the men of Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, who were nearest to this place of rendezvous, had brought all the necessaries for such a feast. From the whole it appears most evident that the great majority of the tribes of Israel wished to see the kingdom confirmed in the hands of David; nor was there ever in any country a man more worthy of the public choice. As a statesman, warrior, hero, poet, and divine, he stands unrivalled in the annals of the world: by him alone were the Israelites raised to a pitch of the highest splendour; and their name became a terror to their enemies, and a praise in the earth. But, alas, how are the mighty now fallen!
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 39. And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking , etc.] Keeping a festival, to testify their joy on this occasion: for their brethren had prepared for them ; not the inhabitants of Hebron only, but all the country round about, brought in provisions on this joyful occasion; otherwise the men of Hebron would not have been able to have provided what was sufficient for such a vast number, as appears by what follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-40 - When the throne of Christ is set up in a soul, there is, or ought to be, great joy in that soul; and provision is made, not as here, for few days, but for the whole life, and for eternity. Happy are those wh wisely perceive it to be their duty and interest, to submit to the Saviour Jesus Christ, the Son of David; who renounce for his sake all that is not consistent; whose earnest endeavours to do good ar directed by the wisdom that God giveth, through acquaintance with his word, experience, and observation. If any man lack this wisdom, let his ask it of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not, an it shall be given him __________________________________________________________________
