1 Kings 7:1 — Trece años - Los trece años, i. e., contando desde el final de los siete 1 Reyes 6:38. Los edificios de Salomón lo ocuparon así veinte años 1 Reyes 9:1; 2 Crónicas 8:1, desde el cuarto año de su reinado hasta el vigésimo cuarto.

1 Chronicles 1:29 — These are their generations - As Shem was reserved until after Japheth and Ham 1 Chronicles 1:5-16, because in him the genealogy was to be continued (Genesis 10:2 note), so Isaac is now reserved until the other lines of descent from Abraham have been completed. The same principle gives the descendants of Esau a prior place to those of Jacob 1 Chronicles 1:35-51; 1 Chronicles 2:1.

El mismo principio da a los descendientes de Esaú un lugar anterior a los de Jacob 1 Crónicas 1:35; 1 Crónicas 2:1.

1 Chronicles 10:13 — For his transgression - Compare 1 Chronicles 9:1. The “transgression” intended is probably the disobedience with respect to Amalek, recorded in 1 Samuel 15:1-9 (compare 1 Samuel 28:17-18).

1 Corinthians 10 overview — In regard to the design of 1 Corinthians 10:0, commentators have not been agreed.

Titus 2:2 — - for there is no reason to suppose that the apostle refers particularly to those who were in office, or who were technically elders, or Presbyters. If he had, he would have used the common word - πρεσβύτερος presbuteros - “presbyter” (see Matthew 15:2; Matthew 16:21; Matthew 21:23; Matthew 26:3, Matthew 26:47, Matthew 26:57, Matthew 26:59; 1 Timothy 5:1, 1 Timothy 5:17, 1 Timothy 5:19; Titus 1:5; James 5:14; 1 Peter 5:1), instead of the unusual word - πρεσβύτης presbutēs - an old or aged man

The main object of this chapter is to comfort them in their trials; to suggest such considerations as would enable them to bear them with the right spirit, and to show the sustaining, elevating, and

1 Samuel 17:20 — The trench - Rather, “the wagons,” which were all put together in the camp so as to form a kind of bulwark or fortification (see 1 Samuel 26:5, 1 Samuel 26:7).

1 Samuel 31:10 — In the house of Ashtaroth - This was doubtless the famous temple of Venus in Askelon mentioned by Herodotus as the most ancient of all her temples.

In 1 Chronicles 10:10 it is added that they “fastened Saul’s head in the temple of Dagon,” probably
