Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:2

Theological / Devotional

Lifted up. The Lord blessed David, confirming the entire kingdom in his hand. The king was to reign over a united kingdom, in which his enemies were to be subdued and the cause of the Lord was to triumph. God frequently grants His servants special favor with men (Genesis 39:21; Daniel 1:9; Luke 2:52). In the friendship of Hiram, the powerful king of Tyre, David doubtless discerned a token of divine blessing.
