Commentary

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 18:8

Theological / Devotional

Brass. Properly copper or bronze (see on 1 Kings 7:47). The metal was very common in ancient times throughout Western Asia.

This chapter, like its counterpart, 2 Samuel 8, seems concerned less with describing the conquests than with recounting the spoils and tribute that David won and put aside for the future temple (see on verse 11).

The brasen sea. See 1 Kings 7:15-26, 45; 2 Chronicles 4:2-5, 10, 15, 18.
