Concise Complete
Ishbosheth murdered. (1-7) David puts to death the
murderers. (8-12)
Verses 1-7 See
how Ishbosheth was murdered! When those difficulties dispirit us, which should
sharpen our endeavours, we betray both our heavenly crowns and our earthly
lives. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty and ruin. The idle soul is an
easy prey to the destroyer. We know not when and where death will meet us. When
we lie down to sleep, we are not sure that we may not sleep the sleep of death
before we awake; nor do we know from what hand the death-blow may come.
Verses 8-12 A
person may be glad to obtain his just wishes, and yet really regret the means by
which he receives them. He may be sorry for the death of a person by which he is
a gainer. These men shed innocent blood, from the basest motives. David justly
executed vengeance upon them. He would not be beholden to any to help him by
unlawful practices. God had helped him over many a difficulty, and through many
a danger, therefore he depended upon him to crown and complete his own work. He
speaks of his redemption from all adversity, as a thing done; though he had many
storms yet before him, he knew that He who had delivered, would deliver.
