7 notes on this verseWith all his reign and his might,.... The whole of it, and the mighty valiant acts done by him, the battles he fought, and the victories he obtained: and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and all the kingdoms of the countries; things that were done in his time in Israel, and in the nations round about subdued by him, as Moab, Ammon, Syria, and Philistia.
This site's exposition
the book of Samuel the seer
on 1 Chronicles 29:29-30
The book closes by naming its own sources, the book of Samuel the seer, the book of Nathan the prophet, and the book of Gad the seer, three prophetic records the Chronicler cites rather than invents, the same practice 2 Chronicles 20:34 will use for the book of Jehu the son of Hanani. Henry notes that these registers were still in being when Chronicles was written though they are lost to every later reader, histories of the church that were authentic without being counted among the sacred books. The chapter, and the first half of Chronicles with it, ends by pointing past itself to records David's own contemporaries kept.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening3 voices
These registers were then in being, but are now lost. Note, Good use may be made of those histories of the church which are authentic though not sacred or of divine inspiration.
And it is hard to say which shines brighter here, the setting sun or the rising sun. 1 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the L ORD God.
quarantine:scripture (2026-07-29) — verbatim-run:37w-of-57
Of Abraham, &c. - A God in covenant with them, and with us for their sakes. Keep forever - Since it is from thy grace that thy people have such willing minds, continue that grace to them, that they may persist in the same generous disposition towards thee and thy worship.
The Nineteenth Century2 voices
The times that went over him - The transactions of his reign, and the occurrences and vicissitudes in his own kingdom, as well as those which were over all the kingdoms of the countries, i.e., in the surrounding nations, in most of which David had a share during his forty years’ reign. Relative to the character of David, see a few remarks in the note on 1Ki 2:10 (note); and see more at the end of the Psalms.

The times that went over him - i. e., the events that happened to him. Compare Psa 31:15. All the kingdoms of the countries - The kingdoms, i. e., of Moab, Ammon, Damascus, Zobah, etc. See the full phrase in 2Ch 17:10. Some account of these kingdoms would necessarily have been given in any history of David’s reign.
