1 Chronicles 18:6 Summary
This verse shows that David was able to conquer the Arameans and make them pay him tribute, but it also makes clear that God was the one who gave David the victory. This reminds us that our successes are not just because of our own efforts, but because of God's power and blessing, as we see in verses like Psalm 127:1-2 and Proverbs 21:31. Just as David trusted in God for victory, we can trust in Him for our daily needs and challenges. By acknowledging God's sovereignty and submitting to His authority, we can experience His power and provision in our lives, just as David did.

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 18:6
(6) Put garrisons.—The noun here omitted in the Hebrew, probably by an oversight, occurs in Samuel. In 1 Chronicles 11:16 and 2 Chronicles 17:2 it means “out post,” or “garrison;” in 1 Kings 4:19, “prefects,” or “pashas.” The Targum of Samuel gives strategi, “generals;” Syriac and Arabic, “prefects” and “collectors;” LXX. and Vulg., “garrison.” The Arabic here has “collectors and guards;” the Syriac, “commanders.” Syria-damascus.—Aram of Damascus (1 Chronicles 18:5). (Comp. 1 Chronicles 18:2 for the next clause.) David’s servants.—To David servants—the order in Samuel. Thus.—And.Preserved.—Made victorious. Preserved David.—Samuel has ‘eth-David—i.e., the simple accusative; Chronicles, le-David, a late construction. Whithersoever he went.—Same phrase as in 1 Chronicles 17:6; 1 Chronicles 17:8. Shields.—Shiltê. Probably “armour” or “arms.” (Comp. 2 Kings 11:10; 2 Chronicles 23:9, “the spears, and the shields, and the sh’lâtîm; “Ezekiel 27:11; Son 4:4; Jeremiah 51:11, “quivers.”) LXX. here, “golden collars” (Samuel, “bracelets”); Syriac and Arabic, “golden plates which hung on the horses;” Vulg., “quivers (Samuel, “golden arms”). Hadadezer was not dethroned, but became a vassal king.
