Context — David’s Army Grows at Hebron
37And from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh there: 120,000 armed with every kind of weapon of war.
38All these men of war, arrayed for battle, came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. And all the rest of the Israelites were of one mind to make David king.
39They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them.
40And their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen—abundant supplies of flour, fig cakes and raisin cakes, wine and oil, oxen and sheep. Indeed, there was joy in Israel.Cross References

1 Chronicles 12:39 Summary
[This verse shows that after the Israelites decided to make David their king, they had a big celebration that lasted for three days, eating and drinking together, as their relatives had provided for them. This time of celebration and feasting was a way for the people to come together and rejoice with David, just like we see in other scriptures such as Deuteronomy 12:7 and Ecclesiastes 3:13. The relatives' provision for the people demonstrates the importance of hospitality and generosity, as seen in other Bible verses like Acts 2:42-47 and Hebrews 13:2. By looking at this verse, we can learn about the value of community and celebration in our own lives, and how we can come together with others to rejoice and give thanks, just like the Israelites did in 1 Chronicles 12:39.]

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 12:39
And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking,.... Keeping a festival, to testify their joy on this occasion: for their brethren had prepared for them; not the inhabitants of Hebron
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 12:39
And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them. There they were with David three days, eating and drinking.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:39
(39-40) The coronation feast. Comp. 1 Kings 1:9; 1 Kings 1:19; 1 Kings 1:25; the usurpation of Adonijah. Their brethren.—Fellow tribesmen of Judah; especially those living at and around Hebron. Had prepared victuals.—2 Chronicles 35:14.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:39
Verse 39. They were with David three days] These were the deputies of the different people mentioned here: it is not possible that all the thousands mentioned above could have feasted with David for three days; and yet it appears there was even of these a great number, for the men of Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, who were nearest to this place of rendezvous, had brought all the necessaries for such a feast. From the whole it appears most evident that the great majority of the tribes of Israel wished to see the kingdom confirmed in the hands of David; nor was there ever in any country a man more worthy of the public choice. As a statesman, warrior, hero, poet, and divine, he stands unrivalled in the annals of the world: by him alone were the Israelites raised to a pitch of the highest splendour; and their name became a terror to their enemies, and a praise in the earth. But, alas, how are the mighty now fallen!
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 12:39
39. eating and drinking] The feasting probably began with the sacrificial meal with which a covenant was usually ratified; cp. Genesis 31:46; Genesis 31:54.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:39
39. Three days, eating and drinking — It was a day of joy to all the land, and the great assembly at Hebron did well to celebrate it with abundant festivity.
