Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 29:29

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29The acts of David - first and last - Those which concerned him in private life, as well as those which grew out of his regal government. All these were written by three eminent men, personally acquainted with him through the principal part of his life; these were Samuel and Gad the seers, and Nathan the prophet. These writings are all lost, except the particulars interspersed in the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles, none of which are the records…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 29On the character of the works alluded to, see Introduction to Chronicles. Gad the seer - Gad is not given here the same title as Samuel.

Gad‘s is a far commoner title; it is applied to his contemporaries Asaph 2 Chronicles 29:30, Heman 1 Chronicles 25:5, and Jeduthun 2 Chronicles 35:15, to Iddo 2 Chronicles 9:29; 2 Chronicles…Read the comment

Blessed be God, even the chief of sinners may hope for a glorious departure, when brought to repent and flee for refuge to the Saviour's…Read the comment
