(17) This verse is not in Samuel. It looks like a concluding reflection of the chronicler's, similar to 2Chronicles 17:10; 2Chronicles 20:29.

The fame of David went out.--David's name. The same phrase recurs in 2Chronicles 26:15.

All lands.--All the lands. (Comp. Psalm 19:4.)

And the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.--Yet this fear was, as we should say, the natural effect of his victories. In the view of the chronicler, David's success in arms, with all its consequences, was the work of Jehovah. The Hebrew phrase is similar to that in Esther 8:17. . . .
