Gill's Notes on the Bible
And David consulted with the captains of thousands, and hundreds, and with every leader. With the chiliarchs and centurions, and every officer in that large body of armed men in every tribe, who met to make and crown him king: for at that time was this consultation had, and therefore is connected with it; though the affair advised about was not yet done, as Dr. Lightfoot h observes, and was not done until some considerable time afterwards. Advice being taken, the several officers went with their men to their respective countries, to meet again at a certain time and place to put the thing projected into execution; and between this and that time were Hiram's message to David on his accession to the throne, the taking of Jerusalem, and the two battles with the Philistines, as the same writer notes; most of which are recorded before this in the book of Samuel, and follow here.
h Works, vol. 1. p. 61, 62.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The captains ... - Such an organisation had probably been established generally through the tribes prior to the time of David: but David seems to have been the first to recognize in these officers of the host representatives of the people, to consult them on public affairs, and to give them a certain political position.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XIII
David consults with his officers, and resolves to bring back
the ark from the house of Abinadab, 1-4.
They place it on a new cart, and Uzza and Ahio drive the cart;
the oxen stumbling, Uzza puts forth his hand to save the ark
from falling, and he is smitten by the Lord, 5-10.
David is displeased, and orders the ark to be carried to the
house of Obed-edom the Gittite, 11-13.
The ark abides there three months, and the Lord blesses
Obed-edom, 14.
NOTES ON CHAP. XIII
Verse 1 Chronicles 13:1. David consulted — Having taken the strong hold of Zion from the Jebusites, organized his army, got assurances of the friendly disposition of the Israelites towards him, he judged it right to do what he could for the establishment of religion in the land; and as a first step, consulted on the propriety of bringing the ark from an obscure village, where it had remained during the reign of Saul, to the royal city or seat of government.
