1 Chronicles 29:29

Compare all

27 ^aAnd the period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; ^bseven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.

28 So he ^adied in a good old age, ^bfull of days and riches and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.

29 Now the acts of King David, first and last, indeed they are written in the¹ book of Samuel the seer, in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,

30 with all his reign and his might, ^aand the events that happened to him, to Israel, and to all the kingdoms of the lands.

1 Chronicles 29:29

On the character of the works alluded to, see Introduction to Chronicles.

Gad the seer - Gad is not given here the same title as Samuel. Samuel' s title is one, apparently, of higher dignity, applied only to him and to Hanani II Chronicles 16:7, II Chronicles 16:10. Gad' s is a far commoner title; it is applied to his contemporaries Asaph II Chronicles 29:30, Heman I Chronicles 25:5, and Jeduthun II Chronicles 35:15, to Iddo II Chronicles 9:29; II Chronicles 12:15, to Jehu, the son of Hanani II Chronicles 19:2, and to the prophet Amos Amos 7:12. When "seers" are spoken of in the plural, it is the term almost universally used, only one instance Isaiah 30:10 occurring to the contrary.
