Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Garrisons - The word is used for officers in Kg1 4:5, Kg1 4:19, and some think that that is its meaning here. Perhaps, however, it is best to take it with the King James Version in the same sense as in Sa1 10:5; Sa1 13:3.
Brought gifts - Rather, "tribute" (and in Sa2 8:2); meaning they became subject and tributary. |

| Brought gifts - Paid tribute. |
