Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
with a perfect heart: The meaning of this expression may be inferred from that of a double heart in 1 Chronicles 12:33. If a double heart be expressive of insincerity or duplicity, a perfect heart, which seems to be put in opposition to it, must signify a sincere, faithful, and entire attachment. 1 Kings 8:61, 1 Kings 11:4, 2 Kings 20:3, Psalms 101:2
all the rest: 1 Chronicles 12:17, 1 Chronicles 12:18, Genesis 49:8-10, 2 Chronicles 30:12, Psalms 110:3, Ezekiel 11:19
Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 33:20 - Blessed 1 Samuel 11:14 - renew 2 Samuel 3:12 - my hand 2 Samuel 15:10 - Hebron 1 Kings 1:40 - rejoiced 1 Kings 4:1 - over all Israel 1 Chronicles 11:10 - to make 1 Chronicles 18:14 - David 2 Chronicles 10:1 - all Psalms 141:6 - they shall hear Proverbs 18:24 - that hath
Gill's Notes on the Bible
All these men of war that could keep rank,.... Well disciplined men:
came with a perfect heart to Hebron to make David king over Israel; they were all of one mind, and quite hearty and sincere in fixing David on the throne of all Israel:
and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart also to make David king; those who came not were of the same mind; it was the unanimous voice of the people that he should be their king.
