* David's wars.
- The history is here repeated which we read #2Sa 10|. The only
safety of sinners consists in submitting to the Lord, seeking
peace with him, and becoming his servants. Let us assist each
other in a good cause; but let us fear lest, while made
instruments of good to others, we should come short of
salvation, through unbelief and sin.

* David's wars.
- Though the Lord will severely correct the sins of his
believing people, he will not leave them in the hands of their
enemies. His assistance will overcome all advantages of number
and strength of those that defy his Israel. All that trust in
Christ, shall be made more than conquerors through him that
loveth them.

* David's numbering the people.
- No mention is made in this book of David's sin in the matter
of Uriah, neither of the troubles that followed it: they had no
needful connection with the subjects here noted. But David's sin,
in numbering the people, is related: in the atonement made for
that sin, there was notice of the place on which the temple
should be built. The command to David to build an altar, was a
blessed token of reconciliation. God testified his acceptance of
David's offerings on this altar. Thus Christ was made sin, and a
curse for us; it pleased the Lord to bruise him, that through
him, God might be to us, not a consuming Fire, but a reconciled
God. It is good to continue attendance on those ordinances in
which we have experienced the tokens of God's presence, and have
found that he is with us of a truth. Here God graciously met me,
therefore I will still expect to meet him.
