This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_17:10 And he also [that is] valiant, whose heart [is] as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father [is] a mighty man, and [they] which [be] with him [are] valiant men.
Ver. 10. Whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt.] Falling asunder in his bosom like drops of water. See Jos_2:11. Those seeming lions shall become as harts and stags, that have great horns and strength, but do nothing with them, quia deest animus, through want of courage.
That thy father is a mighty man, &c.] This he repeateth as his chief argument, for he knew that he spake to a carpet knight.
