撒母耳记下 21:15 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Samuel 21:15-22

We have here the story of some conflicts with the Philistines, which happened, as it should seem, in the latter end of David's reign. Though he had so subdued them that they could not bring any great numbers into the field, yet as long as they had any giants among them to be their champions, they would never be quiet, but took all occasions to disturb the peace of Israel, to challenge them, or make incursions upon them. I. David himself was engaged with one of the giants. The Philistines began... read more

Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel ,.... Besides what is before recorded in this and the preceding book; being animated to it partly by the number of giants among them, and partly by the decline of David's life, and it may be chiefly by the insurrections and rebellions in Israel; though some think that these battles were not after the rebellions of Absalom and Sheba, and the affair of the Gibeonites, though here recorded; but before, and quickly after the war with the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 21:15

Moreover . A new narrative begins here, and the heroic acts related in it are taken probably from some record of the martial deeds of David and his mighties. We have already seen that the Book of Jasher ( 2 Samuel 1:18 ) was a national anthology, full of ballads and songs in praise of glorious exploits of Israel's worthies. The source of the narratives recorded here apparently was a history in prose, and commenced, perhaps, with David's own achievement in slaying Goliath—a deed which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 21:15-22

The difficulty of establishing the kingdom of God in the world. The facts are: 1 . In one of his wars with the Philistines David waxes faint in personal conflict with a giant, and is succoured by the intervention of Abishai. 2 . Observing the failing strength of the king, his people deprecate his going forth with them to battle, lest by personal failure he should be a means of general discouragement. 3 . On each of three subsequent occasions of battle, a Philistine giant is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 21:15-22

( 1 Chronicles 20:4-8 ) .— Giants: a sermon to young people. "As for these four, they were born to the giant ( Ha-rapha ) in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants" ( 2 Samuel 21:22 ). Of the age before the Flood it is said, "In those days were the giants [ Nephilim, men of lofty stature and ferocious character] upon the earth" ( Genesis 6:4 ; Numbers 13:32 , Numbers 13:33 ). At a subsequent period there was a like formidable race called... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 21:15

This, like the preceding paragraph 2 Samuel 21:1-14, is manifestly a detached and unconnected extract. It is probably taken from some history of David’s wars, apparently the same as furnished the materials for 2 Samuel 5:0; 2 Samuel 8:0; 2 Samuel 23:8-39. There is no direct clue to the time when the events here related took place, but it was probably quite in the early part of David’s reign, while he was still young and active, after the war described in 2 Samuel 5:0. The Book of Chronicles... read more

2 Samuel 21:15-16. David longed, and said, O! &c. Being hot and thirsty, he expresses how acceptable a draught of that water would be to him; but was far from desiring or expecting that any of his men should hazard their lives to procure it. He would not drink thereof Lest, by gratifying himself upon such terms, he should seem either to set too high a price upon the satisfaction of his appetite, or too low a price upon the lives of his soldiers. He poured it out unto the Lord As a... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 21:1-22

21:1-24:25 MISCELLANEOUS MATTERSThe writer of 2 Samuel has finished his historical record of David’s reign. Since the story of David’s sin with Bathsheba, the writer has mainly been concerned with showing how this one event changed the course of David’s life. He now returns and records various other stories and poems to show other difficulties David faced during his reign. He shows also how God cared for him during those difficulties. (The story of David’s closing years is given in the opening... read more
