Commentary on 1 Samuel 17:36

Theological / Devotional

He hath defied. David was jealous for the good name of Israel and Israel’s God, as Moses had been before him (Ex. 32:12, 13; Num. 14:13-16; Deut. 9:26-29; cf. Ezek. 20:9). The inactivity of God’s people in a time of shame and crisis was more than David could endure.
