Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 4:31

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 31These were their cities unto the reign of David - It appears that David took some of the cities of the Simeonites, and added them to Judah; Ziklag for instance, 1 Samuel 27:6.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 31Unto the reign of David - It is not quite clear why this clause is added. Perhaps the writer is quoting from a document belonging to David‘s reign.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 31-4331-43. These were their cities unto the reign of David--In consequence of the sloth or cowardice of the Simeonites, some of the cities within their allotted territory were only nominally theirs. They were never taken from the Philistines until David's time, when, the Simeonites having forfeited all claim to them, he assigned them to his own tribe of Judah (1Sa 27:6).Read the comment
