Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
back to:
2 Samuel
Book: 2 Samuel
Chapter: 8
Overview:
David
subdues the
Philistines
, the Moabites, and the Syrians.
(1-8)
The spoil dedicated.
(9-14)
David
's government and
officers.
(15-18)
1-8.
David
subdued the
Philistines
. They had long been
troublesome to
Israel
. And after the long and frequent struggles
the saints have with the powers of
Darkness
, like
Israel
with
the
Philistines
, the Son of
David
shall tread them all under
foot, and make the saints more than conquerors. He smote the
Moabites, and made them tributaries to
Israel
. Two parts he
destroyed, the third part he spared. The line that was to keep
alive, though it was but one, is ordered to be a full line. Let
the line of
Mercy
be stretched to the utmost. He smote the
Syrians. In all these wars
David
was protected, for this in his
Psalms
he often gives
Glory
to
God
.
9-14
All the precious things
David
was master of, were
dedicated things; they were designed for
Building
the
Temple
.
The idols of
Gold
David
destroyed, 2Sa 5:21, but the vessels
of
Gold
he dedicated. Thus, in the conquest of a soul
By
the
Grace
of the Son of
David
, what stands in opposition to
God
must
be destroyed, every
Lust
must be mortified and crucified, but
what may
Glorify
him must be dedicated; thus the property of it
is altered.
God
employs his servants in various ways; some, as
David
, in spiritual battles; others, as
Solomon
, in spiritual
buildings; and one prepares work for the other, that
God
may
have the
Glory
of all.
15-18
David
neither did wrong, nor denied or delayed right to
any. This speaks his close application to business; also his
readiness to admit all addresses and appeals made to him. He had
No
respect of persons in
Judgment
. Herein he was a
Type
of
Christ
. To Him let us submit, his friendship let us seek, his
service let us count our pleasure, diligently attending to the
work he assigns to each of us.
David
made his sons chief rulers;
but all believers,
Christ
's spiritual seed, are better
preferred, for they are made
Kings
and priests to our
God
, Re
1:6.
