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 (2 Samuel 7:12-16). 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, the Chronicles of Nathan the Prophet, and the Chronicles of Gad the Seer, Persons / Places / Events 1.

The Role of Prophets and Seers Prophets like Samuel, Nathan, and Gad played crucial roles in guiding and correcting leaders, emphasizing the need for godly counsel in leadership.

God's Sovereignty in History The detailed records of David's reign remind us of God's sovereign hand in the unfolding of history and His involvement in the lives of His people. Learning from the Past Studying the chronicles of David encourages believers to reflect on their own lives and learn from the past to make godly decisions in the present.(29) Now the acts of David the king, first and last.--Literally, And the words (dibre) of David the king, the former and the latter, behold they are written in "the words of Samuel the seer "(ro-eh), and in "the words of Nathan the prophet," and in "the words of Gad the seer" (hozeh). For "written in" the Hebrews said "written on." (See Exodus 34:1; Isaiah 8:1.) The acts of David.--Or, the matters, history of David. The Heb. d?b?r is (1) a word, (2) something spoken about, a matter, transaction, or event. (Comp. 1Chronicles 16:37; 2Kings 17:11; Genesis 15:1; 2Samuel 11:18-19.) 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. . . . 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 (1 Samuel 9:9, 11, 18, 19; 2 Samuel 15:27; 1 Chronicles 9:22; 1 Chronicles 26:28; 1 Chronicles 29:29) and of Hanani (2 Chronicles 16:7, 10), 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 1 Samuel 9:9, 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 Isaiah 30:10, points in a somewhat different direction. In the first place, it would indicate that our Authorized Version in Isaiah 30:10 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.Parallel Commentaries ...
