Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

18:1-17 David's victories. - This chapter is the same as 2Sa 8. Our good fight of faith, under the Captain of our salvation, will end in everlasting triumph and peace. The happiness of Israel, through David's victories, and just government, faintly shadowed forth the happiness of the redeemed in the realms above.


Pulpit Commentary

Verse 9. - Tou. In the parallel place, spelt Toi. Nothing else is known of this King of Hamath, who now proffers his congratulations to David.


Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

9-13. Tou—or Toi—whose dominions border on those of Hadadezer. (See on [388]2Sa 8:9-12; [389]1Ki 11:15).
