How preachers through history handled this text
10 public-domain excerpts on 2 Samuel 5, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The Philistines considered not that David had the presence of God with him, which Saul had forfeited and lost. The kingdom of the Messiah, as soon as it was set up in the world, was thus attacked by the powers of darkness. The heathen raged, and the kings of the earth set themselves to oppose it; but all in vain, Ps 2:1, &c. The destruction will turn, as this did, upon Satan's own kingdom. David owns dependence on God for victory; and refers himself to the good pleasure of God, Wilt thou do it? …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 2 Samuel 5:17–30 (Public Domain)
