Commentaries

Matthew Henry's 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.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

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