Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

11:10-47 An account is given of David's worthies, the great men who served him. Yet David reckoned his success, not as from the mighty men that were with him, but from the mighty God, whose presence is all in all. In strengthening him, they strengthened themselves and their own interest, for his advancement was theirs. We shall gain by what we do in our places for the support of the kingdom of the Son of David; and those that are faithful to Him, shall find their names registered much more to their honour, than these are in the records of fame.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

25. David set him over his guard—the Cherethites and Pelethites that composed the small bodyguard in immediate attendance on the king.
