David, the second king of Israel, is a central figure in biblical history, known for uniting the tribes of Israel and establishing Jerusalem as the nation's capital. His life, from shepherd boy to king, is marked by significant events such as his anointing by Samuel, his victory over Goliath, his complex relationship with Saul, and his establishment of a dynasty through the Davidic Covenant (<a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-16</a>). The phrase "from first to last" suggests a detailed account of his life, highlighting both his triumphs and failures, such as his sin with Bathsheba and the subsequent turmoil in his family.are indeed written in the Chronicles of Samuel the Seer, Samuel, a pivotal figure in Israel's history, served as the last judge and a prophet. He anointed both Saul and David as kings. The "Chronicles of Samuel the Seer" likely refers to historical records or writings attributed to Samuel, which may have contributed to the biblical books of 1 and 2 Samuel. These texts provide insight into the early monarchy in Israel and the transition from the period of the judges. Samuel's role as a seer, a term for a prophet who receives divine visions, underscores his spiritual authority and the divine guidance in recording Israel's history.the Chronicles of Nathan the Prophet, Nathan was a prophet during David's reign, known for his bold confrontation of David regarding his sin with Bathsheba (<a href="/2_samuel/12.htm">2 Samuel 12:1-15</a>). His involvement in the succession narrative, supporting Solomon as David's successor (<a href="/1_kings/1-11.htm">1 Kings 1:11-45</a>), highlights his influence in the royal court. The "Chronicles of Nathan the Prophet" suggests additional historical records or writings that may have informed the biblical narrative. Nathan's role as a prophet emphasizes the importance of divine revelation and accountability in leadership.and the Chronicles of Gad the Seer, Gad was another prophet who advised David, first appearing when David was fleeing from Saul (<a href="/1_samuel/22-5.htm">1 Samuel 22:5</a>). He later delivered God's message to David to build an altar on the threshing floor of Araunah, which became the site for the future temple (<a href="/2_samuel/24-18.htm">2 Samuel 24:18-25</a>). The "Chronicles of Gad the Seer" indicates further documentation of David's reign, possibly contributing to the biblical account. Gad's designation as a seer highlights the prophetic tradition in Israel, where seers played a crucial role in guiding and advising the king according to God's will.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/k/king_david.htm">King David</a> The central figure in this verse, David was the second king of Israel, known for his heart for God, his military conquests, and his role in establishing Jerusalem as the political and spiritual center of Israel. 2. <a href="/topical/s/samuel_the_seer.htm">Samuel the Seer</a> A prophet and judge in Israel who anointed both Saul and David as kings.

Gesenius renders here: Et res gestae regis David . . . ecce eae scriptae in libro cui titulus, Res Samu?lis (Thesaur., p. 722). As to the sources apparently cited by the chronicler in this passage, see the remarks in the Introduction. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/29.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 29. - The Hebrew word here translated acts is identical with the words translated three times afterwards in this verse book. A uniform rendering for all might be found in the general word "history" or "acts." The question as to the probable nature of these works, and whether identical with our Books of Samuel, has been treated of in the Introduction. The Hebrew word for "seer," applied in this verse to Samuel, is הָרֹאֶה. And that applied to Gad, though the Authorized Version has the same translation, "seer," is הָחזֶה. There can be no doubt that the word applied to Samuel would, under any circumstances, stand as the higher of the two names, were there any comparison intended between them. This is confirmed by the fact that it is found used only of him (<a href="/1_samuel/9-9.htm">1 Samuel 9:9, 11, 18, 19</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/15-27.htm">2 Samuel 15:27</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/9-22.htm">1 Chronicles 9:22</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/26-28.htm">1 Chronicles 26:28</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/29-29.htm">1 Chronicles 29:29</a>) and of Hanani (<a href="/2_chronicles/16-7.htm">2 Chronicles 16:7, 10</a>), whereas the word applied to Gad in this verse is the generic name for seers, and is used several times in the Books of Chronicles of other persons than Gad. At the same time, the parenthesis in <a href="/1_samuel/9-9.htm">1 Samuel 9:9</a>, to the effect that the word here used of Samuel as seer (הָרֹאֶה) was superseded in later times (as, for instance, at the time of the writing of the Books of Samuel) by the word prophet (נֶבִיא), compared with <a href="/isaiah/30-10.htm">Isaiah 30:10</a>, points in a somewhat different direction. In the first place, it would indicate that our Authorized Version in <a href="/isaiah/30-10.htm">Isaiah 30:10</a> should rather stand, "Which say to the prophets, Prophesy not, and to the seers," etc. While for our present passage it would indicate that no insidious comparison is possible between Samuel and Gad as seers, but rather that Samuel retains the old honoured name by which he had been wont to be called, and that to Nathan is with equal naturalness attached the more modern name - the functions represented being essentially the same, or at least analogous. <a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/29-29.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Now the acts וְדִבְרֵי֙ (wə·ḏiḇ·rê) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1697.htm">Strong's 1697: </a> A word, a matter, thing, a cause of King הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (ham·me·leḵ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king David, דָּוִ֣יד (dā·wîḏ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1732.htm">Strong's 1732: </a> David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesse from first הָרִאשֹׁנִ֖ים (hā·ri·šō·nîm) Article | Adjective - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7223.htm">Strong's 7223: </a> First, in place, time, rank to last, וְהָאֲחרֹנִ֑ים (wə·hā·’ă·ḥ·rō·nîm) Conjunctive waw, Article | Adjective - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_314.htm">Strong's 314: </a> Hinder, late, last, western they are indeed הִנָּ֣ם (hin·nām) Interjection | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2009.htm">Strong's 2009: </a> Lo!
