2 Samuel 23:12 - John Wesley's Notes

2 Samuel 23:12

10 He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand was ^aweary, and his hand stuck to the sword. The Lord brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to ^bplunder.

11 And after him was ^aShammah the son of Agee the Hararite. ^bThe Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils. So the people fled from the Philistines.

12 But he stationed himself in the middle of the field, defended it, and killed the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory.

13 Then ^athree of the thirty chief men went down at harvest time and came to David at ^bthe cave of Adullam. And the troop of Philistines encamped in ^cthe Valley of Rephaim.

14 David was then in ^athe stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

Lord wrought - How great soever the bravery of the instruments is, the praise of the achievement is to be given to God. These fought, but God wrought the victory.
