2Sa_11:20 And if so be that the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
Ver. 20. And if so be that the king’s wrath arise.] As that is the best reward oft times that is given to generals and other officers, though never so well deserving, unless they prove prosperous, that they are discountenanced and discarded; as were Bellisarius, Trajan general to Valens, Hunuiades otherwhiles, qui pro tantorum laborum praemio vix veniam impetravere. {a}
