This area was known for its wealth and strategic importance. Hadadezer was a powerful king who opposed David's expansion. The mention of these cities highlights David's military success and God's favor in granting him victory over formidable enemies. The conquest of these cities signifies the extension of Israel's influence and the fulfillment of God's promise to give David rest from his enemies (<a href="/2_samuel/7.htm">2 Samuel 7:1</a>).David took a large amount of bronze Bronze was a valuable resource in the ancient world, used for making weapons, tools, and various artifacts. The acquisition of a large amount of bronze from these cities indicates the wealth and resources David accumulated through his military campaigns. This wealth was not for personal gain but was dedicated to the service of God, as seen in its later use by Solomon. The gathering of materials for the temple foreshadows the future peace and prosperity under Solomon's reign, a time when the temple would be built as a permanent dwelling place for God's presence among His people.with which Solomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and various bronze articles The bronze Sea, pillars, and other articles were significant components of Solomon's Temple, symbolizing God's majesty and the centrality of worship in Israel's life. The bronze Sea was a large basin used by the priests for ceremonial washing, representing purification and readiness to serve God. The pillars, named Jachin and Boaz, stood at the entrance of the temple, symbolizing stability and strength. These items reflect the glory and splendor of the temple, which was a type of Christ, who is the true temple (<a href="/john/2-19.htm">John 2:19-21</a>). The temple's construction fulfilled God's promise to David that his son would build a house for His name (<a href="/2_samuel/7-13.htm">2 Samuel 7:13</a>), pointing to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, who establishes an eternal kingdom and mediates God's presence to His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a> The second king of Israel, known for his military conquests and his heart for God.

Chun.--Two unknown places. The names in Samuel are Betah and Berothai. Tebah occurs as an Aramean name in <a href="/genesis/22-24.htm" title="And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.">Genesis 22:24</a>, of which "Tibhath" is a feminine form, and "Betah" probably a corruption. Syriac, "T?bah" and "B?r-thi" in both places. So Arabic of Samuel, "T?b?h" and "Bar-ti" (here "Himsa" and "Baalbec," probably by way of an explanation). The readings of the LXX., "Metebak" (or Masbach) in Samuel, and "Matebeth" here, support Tebah. Vulgate in Samuel, "Bete," but here "Thebath," obviously equivalent to Tibhath. "Chun" is doubtless corrupt. All the versions support "Berothai" (LXX., "chosen cities;" comp. Heb., b?roth) except Arabic and Vulg. here.Much brass.--Copper (as <a href="/job/28-2.htm" title="Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.">Job 28:2</a>), or bronze (an alloy of copper and tin, which was well known to the ancients). Samuel, "copper in abundance" (harb?h), an older form of expression.Wherewith Solomon made . . .--Not in the Hebrew of Samuel, though LXX. adds it.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/18.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 8. - Tibhath, and... Chun. These names replace Betah and Berothai in the parallel place, in the former case with possibility of orthographic explanation, but not in the latter. The purpose for which David was glad to take their brass is not mentioned in Samuel, but only here. The brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass (see <a href="/1_kings/7-14.htm">1 Kings 7:14-47</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/4-1.htm">2 Chronicles 4:1-18</a>). In this latter place these subjects will be found treated more fully. This so-called "brazen sea" (אתֵ־יָם הַגְּחשֶׁת) took the place in Solomon's temple of (he earlier brazen laver (כִּיּור גְחשֶׁת) of the Mosaic ritual (<a href="/exodus/30-17.htm">Exodus 30:17-21</a>; <a href="/leviticus/8-10.htm">Leviticus 8:10, 11</a>; <a href="/1_kings/7-38.htm">1 Kings 7:38</a>). It is now called a sea, because of its large size. The use of the original laver is plainly told, for the priests to wash at it their hands and feet before offering sacrifices. It stood in the court of the tabernacle, between the altar and the door. The ten lavers of Solomon's temple were used for washing the sacrificial victims themselves (<a href="/2_chronicles/4-6.htm">2 Chronicles 4:6</a>). The brazen sea (which was rather of copper than brass, however) rested upon twelve standing oxen, three turning their faces to each quarter of the heavens. Its height was five cubits, its diameter ten cubits, the thickness of its metal a handbreadth, and its capacity variously given at two thousand baths (<a href="/1_kings/7-26.htm">1 Kings 7:26</a>) or three thousand (<a href="/2_chronicles/4-5.htm">2 Chronicles 4:5</a>). It was removed from its supports of oxen by Ahaz (<a href="/2_kings/16-17.htm">2 Kings 16:17</a>), and placed on a pedestal of stone. And it was eventually destroyed by the Assyrians (<a href="/2_kings/25-13.htm">2 Kings 25:13</a>). And the pillars. (For these pillars of the porch, named Jachin and Boaz, see <a href="/1_kings/7-15.htm">1 Kings 7:15-22</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/3-15.htm">2 Chronicles 3:15-17</a>.) And the vessels of brass.
