Commentary

Matthew Henry on 1 Chronicles 14:8–end

This narrative of David's triumph over the Philistines is much the same with that, Sa2 5:17, etc. 1. Let the attack which the Philistines made upon David forbid us to be secure in any settlement or advancement, and engage us to expect molestation in this world.

They resolved, therefore, to surprise and crush him before he was fairly seated on his throne.
