| This book is the history of the reign of king David. It relates his victories, the growth of the prosperity
of Israel, and his reformation of the state of religion. With these events are recorded the grievous sins
he committed, and the family as well as public troubles with which he was punished. We here meet with
many things worthy of imitation, and many that are written for our warning. The history of king David is
given in Scripture with much faithfulness, and from it he appears, to those who fairly balance his many
virtues and excellent qualities against his faults, to have been a great and good man.
-Matthew Henry's Commentary |
