18:1–20:8 David’s Wars. The Chronicler draws from 2 Samuel 8–21 to show how God’s promises to David (especially 1 Chron. 17:8–10b) are being fulfilled. As elsewhere in Chronicles, the materials do not always follow a strict chronology.
1 Chron 18:1–13 From 2 Sam. 8:1–14. David’s victories brought security to Israel (see 1 Chron. 17:9) and extended its boundaries, or at least its zones of influence, to their farthest point in history (see note on 2 Sam. 8:3–12). The victories are ascribed to Yahweh (1 Chron. 18:6, 13). David dedicated the gifts he received and the items taken in war to Yahweh for the temple (see 26:27; 2 Chron. 5:1).
1 Chron 18:6 This Hebrew verb meaning “save” can also be translated gave victory (see esv footnote; compare 11:14; 18:13).
1 Chron 18:12 On the Valley of Salt, see note on 2 Sam. 8:13.
1 Chron 18:14–17 From 2 Sam. 8:15–18 (see note there). As David’s empire expanded, he organized his government according to the major areas of national life: defense, the legal system, and official worship.
1 Chron 18:15–17 On Jehoshaphat, Ahilud, Zadok, Ahitub, Ahimelech, Abiathar, and Benaiah, see notes on 2 Sam. 8:17; 8:18.
