Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This chapter, containing such other warlike exploits belonging to David’s reign as the writer of Chronicles thinks it important to put on record, is to be compared with the passages of Samuel noted in the marginal references.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Joab smites the city of Rabbah; and David puts the crown of its

king upon his own head, and treats the people of the city with

great rigour, 1-3.

First battle with the Philistines, 4.

Second battle with the Philistines, 5.

Third battle with the Philistines, 6, 7.

In these battles three giants are slain, 8.

NOTES ON CHAP. XX

Verse 1 Chronicles 20:1. After the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle] About the spring of the year; 2 Samuel 11:1.

After this verse the parallel place in Samuel relates the whole story of David and Bath-sheba, and the murder of Uriah, which the compiler of these books passes over as he designedly does almost every thing prejudicial to the character of David. All he states is, but David tarried at Jerusalem; and, while he thus tarried, and Joab conducted the war against the Ammonites, the awful transactions above referred to took place.
