Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:1

Theological / Devotional

They that came. The information in this chapter is not found elsewhere in Scripture. Verses 1-22 contain a register of warriors who went over to David while he was a fugitive from Saul; and verses 23-40 list the numbers from the various tribes who crowned David king at Hebron.

Ziklag. A city in southwestern Judah (see on 1 Samuel 27:6). At the time of Saul it was held by the Philistines. When David fled to the Philistines, Achish, the king of Gath, gave him Ziklag as a place of residence (1 Samuel 27:2-7).
