Psalms 18:37 - Exposition

I have pursued mine enemies and overtaken them (see 1 Samuel 30:8-17 ; 2 Samuel 8:1-13 ; 2 Samuel 10:6-18 ). Neither did I turn again till they were consumed. The greatest severities exercised by David seem to have been those against Edom ( 1 Kings 11:15 , 1 Kings 11:16 ) and Ammon ( 2 Samuel 12:29-31 ). Otherwise he would seem not to have used, with any great harshness, his rights as a conqueror.
