1. David, by his example and entreaty

(6) Then the chief of the fathers.--And the princes of the clans, &c., volunteered, showed themselves liberal (n?dib: 1Chronicles 28:21; comp. Proverbs 19:6).

Chief . . . princes . . . captains . . . rulers.--All these words represent a single Hebrew term (s?rim). Princes of the clans or houses = heads of the houses elsewhere.

With the rulers of the king's work.--The stewards or bailiffs of the royal domains (1Chronicles 27:25-31). The construction here is like that in 1Chronicles 28:21. The particle rendered "with" (le) appears to mean much the same as '?d, "even unto," assigning an inclusive limit.

Verse 6. - The response was hearty; it comprised voluntary gifts from the most of those mentioned in 1 Chronicles 28:1; and described in 1 Chronicles 27:16-31. For the rulers of the king's work, see 1 Chronicles 27:26; 1 Chronicles 28:1. As the more general term "work" is employed, we are not bound to confine the expression to include only those who managed "the substance and cattle" of 1 Chronicles 28:1.
