2 Samuel 21:15-22

HEROIC DEEDS OF DAVID’S MEN IN THE PHILISTINE WARS, 2 Samuel 21:15-22.

“The brief accounts contained in these verses of different heroic feats were probably taken from a history of David’s wars drawn up in the form of chronicles, and are here introduced as practical proofs of the gracious deliverance of David out of the hands of all his foes, for which he praises the Lord his God in the psalm of thanksgiving which follows, so that the enumeration of these feats is to be regarded as supplying an historical basis for the psalm.” Keil.
