Commentary
3 notes on this verseThese, it is likely, had approved themselves so hearty for the interest of Israel that in their case it was thought fit to dispense with that law, and the rather because it was an indication that the Son of David would have worthies among the Gentiles: with him there is neither Greek nor Jew.

the son of Shiza the Reubenite
on 1 Chronicles 11:42-47
From here to the chapter's end the roll has no parallel in Samuel at all: thirty names stand behind it at verses 26-41, and sixteen more follow that Samuel's list never carried, Chronicles' own addition to the record. The tail draws from beyond Israel's own tribes, Reubenites under Adina's captaincy and Ithmah the Moabite at verse 46 among David's own mighty men. Matthew Henry reads the Moabite's presence in the honor roll as a sign kept for the greater son of David, with him there is neither Greek nor Jew, a use of the verse the page marks as the commentator's own.

3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the L ORD ; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the L ORD by Samuel. 4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
