This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Went out, to battle.
Quest. How could or durst this one tribe oppose all the rest?
Answ. First, This tribe was very numerous and valiant of themselves, and they had a king of extraordinary courage, and conduct, and success. Secondly, There were great numbers of the other tribes which favoured them, as appears from 1Ch 12. Thirdly, They had the encouragement of special promises of God, made both to their tribe and to David.
Met together, i. e. met the opposite army, and put themselves into a posture for battle.
