This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_8:14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
Ver. 14. And he put garrisons in Edom.] He cast out his shoe over them, as Psa_60:8. {See Trapp on "Psa_60:8"} he set a deputy or viceroy there; {1Ki_22:47} and here the elder brother began to serve the younger, according to the oracle, Gen_25:23.
And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.] Neither preserved him only, but prospered him: and this is twice noted in this chapter. See 2Sa_8:6. Plures sunt gratiae privativae quam positivae, saith Gerson. Our deliverances are many and daily: this being the difference betwixt a godly and and a wicked man; that the former is preserved, the latter is only reserved to further punishment, as was Pharaoh Sennacherib, others. See both these in 2Pe_2:9.
