Hawker's Poor man's commentary

1 Chronicles 14:1-2

We were before informed of Hiram's message to David, and the events of it, with the king's views, that his greatness came from the Lord. 2 Samuel 5:1 related these things, to which therefore I refer the Reader, without adding any further observation on that subject, than what the Commentary there contains.
