KJV ASV YLT DARBY WEB BBE

And it came to pass after ^H310 this, that Absalom ^H53 the son ^H1121 of David ^H1732 had a fair ^H3303 sister, ^H269 whose name ^H8034 was Tamar; ^H8559 and Amnon ^H550 the son ^H1121 of David ^H1732 loved ^H157 her. And Amnon ^H550 was so vexed, ^H3334 that he fell sick ^H2470 for his sister ^H269 Tamar; ^H8559 for she was a virgin; ^H1330 and Amnon ^H550 thought ^H5869 it hard ^H6381 for him to do ^H6213 any thing ^H3972 to her. But Amnon ^H550 had a friend, ^H7453 whose name ^H8034 was Jonadab, ^H3122 the son ^H1121 of Shimeah ^H8093 David's ^H1732 brother: ^H251 and Jonadab ^H3122 was a very ^H3966 subtil ^H2450 man. ^H376 And he said ^H559 unto him, Why art thou, being the king's ^H4428 son, ^H1121 lean ^H1800 from day ^H1242 to day? ^H1242 wilt thou not tell ^H5046 me? And Amnon ^H550 said ^H559 unto him, I love ^H157 Tamar, ^H8559 my brother ^H251 Absalom's ^H53 sister. ^H269 And Jonadab ^H3082 said ^H559 unto him, Lay thee down ^H7901 on thy bed, ^H4904 and make thyself sick: ^H2470 and when thy father ^H1 cometh ^H935 to see ^H7200 thee, say ^H559 unto him, I pray thee, let my sister ^H269 Tamar ^H8559 come, ^H935 and give ^H1262 me meat, ^H3899 and dress ^H6213 the meat ^H1279 in my sight, ^H5869 that I may see ^H7200 it, and eat ^H398 it at her hand. ^H3027 So Amnon ^H550 lay down, ^H7901 and made himself sick: ^H2470 and when the king ^H4428 was come ^H935 to see ^H7200 him, Amnon ^H550 said ^H559 unto the king, ^H4428 I pray thee, let Tamar ^H8559 my sister ^H269 come, ^H935 and make ^H3823 me a couple ^H8147 of cakes ^H3834 in my sight, ^H5869 that I may eat ^H1262 at her hand. ^H3027 Then David ^H1732 sent ^H7971 home ^H1004 to Tamar, ^H8559 saying, ^H559 Go ^H3212 now to thy brother ^H251 Amnon's ^H550 house, ^H1004 and dress ^H6213 him meat. ^H1279 So Tamar ^H8559 went ^H3212 to her brother ^H251 Amnon's ^H550 house; ^H1004 and he was laid down. ^H7901 And she took ^H3947 flour, ^H1217 and kneaded ^H3888 it, and made cakes ^H3823 in his sight, ^H5869 and did bake ^H1310 the cakes. ^H3834 And she took ^H3947 a pan, ^H4958 and poured them out ^H3332 before ^H6440 him; but he refused ^H3985 to eat. ^H398 And Amnon ^H550 said, ^H559 Have out ^H3318 all men ^H376 from me. And they went out ^H3318 every man ^H376 from him. And Amnon ^H550 said ^H559 unto Tamar, ^H8559 Bring ^H935 the meat ^H1279 into the chamber, ^H2315 that I may eat ^H1262 of thine hand. ^H3027 And Tamar ^H8559 took ^H3947 the cakes ^H3834 which she had made, ^H6213 and brought ^H935 them into the chamber ^H2315 to Amnon ^H550 her brother. ^H251 And when she had brought ^H5066 them unto him to eat, ^H398 he took hold ^H2388 of her, and said ^H559 unto her, Come ^H935 lie ^H7901 with me, my sister. ^H269 And she answered ^H559 him, Nay, my brother, ^H251 do not force ^H6031 me; for no such thing ought ^H3651 to be done ^H6213 in Israel: ^H3478 do ^H6213 not thou this folly. ^H5039 And I, whither shall I cause my shame ^H2781 to go? ^H3212 and as for thee, thou shalt be as one ^H259 of the fools ^H5036 in Israel. ^H3478 Now therefore, I pray thee, speak ^H1696 unto the king; ^H4428 for he will not withhold ^H4513 me from thee. Howbeit he would ^H14 not hearken ^H8085 unto her voice: ^H6963 but, being stronger ^H2388 than she, forced ^H6031 her, and lay ^H7901 with her. Then Amnon ^H550 hated ^H8130 her exceedingly; ^H3966 ^H1419 so that the hatred ^H8135 wherewith he hated ^H8130 her was greater ^H1419 than the love ^H160 wherewith he had loved ^H157 her. And Amnon ^H550 said ^H559 unto her, Arise, ^H6965 be gone. ^H3212 And she said ^H559 unto him, There is no cause: ^H182 this evil ^H7451 in sending me away ^H7971 is greater ^H1419 than the other ^H312 that thou didst ^H6213 unto me. But he would ^H14 not hearken ^H8085 unto her. Then he called ^H7121 his servant ^H5288 that ministered ^H8334 unto him, and said, ^H559 Put ^H7971 now this woman out ^H2351 from me, and bolt ^H5274 the door ^H1817 after ^H310 her. And she had a garment ^H3801 of divers colours ^H6446 upon her: for with such robes ^H4598 were the king's ^H4428 daughters ^H1323 that were virgins ^H1330 apparelled. ^H3847 Then his servant ^H8334 brought ^H3318 her out, ^H2351 and bolted ^H5274 the door ^H1817 after ^H310 her. And Tamar ^H8559 put ^H3947 ashes ^H665 on her head, ^H7218 and rent ^H7167 her garment ^H3801 of divers colours ^H6446 that was on her, and laid ^H7760 her hand ^H3027 on her head, ^H7218 and went ^H3212 on ^H1980 crying. ^H2199 And Absalom ^H53 her brother ^H251 said ^H559 unto her, Hath Amnon ^H550 thy brother ^H251 been with thee? but hold now thy peace, ^H2790 my sister: ^H269 he is thy brother; ^H251 regard ^H7896 ^H3820 not this thing. ^H1697 So Tamar ^H8559 remained ^H3427 desolate ^H8074 in her brother ^H251 Absalom's ^H53 house. ^H1004

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3 Matthew Henry Commentary

John Gill Keil & Delitzsch Robert Jamieson: Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Chapter 3

Of all the families of Israel none was so illustrious as the family of David. That is the family which was mentioned in the foregoing chapter (v. 15). Here we have a full account of it.

I. David's sons (v. 1-9).
II. His successors in the throne as long as the kingdom continued (v. 10-16).
III. The remains of his family in and after the captivity (v. 17-24). From this family, "as concerning the flesh, Christ came.'

1Ch 3:1-9

We had an account of David's sons, 2 Sa. 3:2, etc., and 5:14, etc.

1. He had many sons; and no doubt wrote as he thought, Ps. 127:5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of these arrows.
2. Some of them were a grief to him, as Amnon, Absalom, and Adonijah; and we do not read of any of them that imitated his piety or devotion except Solomon, and he came far short of it.
3. One of them, which Bath-sheba bore to him, he called Nathan, probably in honour of Nathan the prophet, who reproved him for his sin in that matter and was instrumental to bring him to repentance. It seems he loved him the better for it as long as he lived. It is wisdom to esteem those our best friends that deal faithfully with us. From this son of David our Lord Jesus descended, as appears Lu. 3:31.
4. Here are two Elishamas, and two Eliphelets, v. 6, 8. Probably the two former were dead, and therefore David called two more by their names, which he would not have done if there had been any ill omen in this practice as some fancy.
5. David had many concubines; but their children are not named, as not worthy of the honour (v. 9), the rather because the concubines had dealt treacherously with David in the affair of Absalom.
6. Of all David's sons Solomon was chosen to succeed him, perhaps not for any personal merits (his wisdom was God's gift), but so, Father, because it seemed good unto thee.

1Ch 3:10-24

David having nineteen sons, we may suppose them to have raised many noble families in Israel whom we never hear of in the history. But the scripture gives us an account only of the descendants of Solomon here, and of Nathan, Lu. 3. The rest had the honour to be the sons of David; but these only had the honour to be related to the Messiah. The sons of Nathan were his fathers as man, the sons of Solomon his predecessors as king. We have here,

1. The great and celebrated names by which the line of David is drawn down to the captivity, the kings of Judah in a lineal succession, the history of whom we have had at large in the two books of Kings and shall meet with again in the second book of Chronicles. Seldom has a crown gone in a direct line from father to son for seventeen descents together, as here. This was the recompence of David's piety. About the time of the captivity the lineal descent was interrupted, and the crown went from one brother to another and from a nephew to an uncle, which was a presage of the eclipsing of the glory of that house.
2. The less famous, and most of them very obscure, names, in which the house of David subsisted after the captivity. The only famous man of that house that we meet with at their return from captivity was Zerubbabel, elsewhere called the son of Salathiel, but appearing here to be his grandson (v. 17-19), which is usual in scripture. Belshazzar is called Nebuchadnezzar's son, but was his grandson. Salathiel is said to be the son of Jeconiah because adopted by him, and because, as some think, he succeeded him in the dignity to which he was restored by Evil-merodach. Otherwise Jeconiah was written childless: he was the signet God plucked from his right hand (Jer. 22:24), and in his room Zerubbabel was placed, and therefore God saith to him (Hag. 2:23), I will make thee as a signet. The posterity of Zerubbabel here bear not the same names that they do in the genealogies (Mt. 1, or Lu. 3), but those no doubt were taken from the then herald's office, the public registers which the priests kept of all the families of Judah, especially that of David. The last person named in this chapter is Anani, of whom bishop Patrick says that the Targum adds these words, He is the king Messiah, who is to be revealed, and some of the Jewish writers give this reason, because it is said (Dan. 7:13), the son of man came gnim gnanani-with the clouds of heaven. The reason indeed is very foreign and far-fetched; but that learned man thinks it may be made use of as an evidence that their minds were always full of the thoughts of the Messiah and that they expected it would not be very long after the days of Zerubbabel before the set time of his approach would come.
