Commentary on 1 Chronicles 22:3

Theological / Devotional

Iron. This metal was known in very ancient times in both Mesopotamia and Egypt (see on Gen. 4:22), but it was not in common use until approximately the time of David.

Brass. Rather, “bronze.” Brass is properly an alloy of copper and zinc, the use of which dates from comparatively recent times. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. Its use was very common in the ancient Orient. Bronze plates decorated with historical scenes were employed to cover the door of a building of Shalmaneser III, and Sennacherib speaks of the doors of his palace at Nineveh being overlaid with shining bronze.
