This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





I believed, to wit, God’s promise of deliverance and of the kingdom made to me by Samuel, which I was confident he would perform in spite of discouragements and difficulties.



Therefore have I spoken: so these words are translated, as by others, so by the apostle, 2Co_4:13. I have spoken; either,



1. What I have now said, Psa_116:9; or,



2. What I have uttered to others concerning God’s promises made to me; which I was not ashamed nor afraid to publish when I had occasion, because I was fully persuaded that God would make them good.



I was greatly afflicted; or, when I was, &c.; or, although I was, &c.; such particles being very frequently understood. The sense is, And this I did even in the midst of many and sore afflictions.
