Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Chronicles 22:4

"and cedar-trees without number: for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-trees in abundance to David." — 1 Chronicles 22:4 (ASV)

And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight; also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

Here are the Gentiles again, the Zidonians and the men of Tyre; those that went down to the sea in ships, that had no part nor lot with Israel. They were to bring the cedar wood to David. What an opening of doors of hope there was for poor castaway Gentiles in that fact!
