Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now the acts of David the king, first and last,.... All that he did that was memorable, both before he was king, and when king in Hebron, and then in Jerusalem:
behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer; which were journals of his life and actions, begun by Samuel, and carried on by Nathan and Gad; out of which what is recorded in canonical Scripture was taken by divine direction, and preserved, while other writings are lost; or rather the book of Samuel designs the first book of Samuel, and the books of Nathan and Gad the second book of Samuel, by whom it was written.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
On the character of the works alluded to, see Introduction to Chronicles.
Gad the seer - Gad is not given here the same title as Samuel. Samuelâs title is one, apparently, of higher dignity, applied only to him and to Hanani 2Ch 16:7, 2 Chronicles 16:10. Gadâs is a far commoner title; it is applied to his contemporaries Asaph 2 Chronicles 29:30, Heman 1 Chronicles 25:5, and Jeduthun 2 Chronicles 35:15, to Iddo 2 Chronicles 9:29; 2 Chronicles 12:15, to Jehu, the son of Hanani 2 Chronicles 19:2, and to the prophet Amos Amos 7:12. When âseersâ are spoken of in the plural, it is the term almost universally used, only one instance Isaiah 30:10 occurring to the contrary.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 29:29. The acts of David - first and last — Those which concerned him in private life, as well as those which grew out of his regal government. All these were written by three eminent men, personally acquainted with him through the principal part of his life; these were Samuel and Gad the seers, and Nathan the prophet. These writings are all lost, except the particulars interspersed in the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles, none of which are the records mentioned here.
