Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 22:17

"David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying]," — 1 Chronicles 22:17 (ASV)

Saying. —The absence of this word from the Hebrew text may be compared with a similar omission in 1 Chronicles 16:7; 1 Chronicles 23:4–5; 1 Chronicles 28:19.
