Commentary on 2 Samuel 10:12

Theological / Devotional

Be of good courage. The situation was one that demanded courage. The existence of the kingdom of Israel was at stake. A determined and powerful enemy was arrayed against them. It took great boldness for Joab to lead his men between the two armies of his enemies, where he might easily be surrounded, and then simultaneously make two attacks.

Of our God. This was the cause of the Lord, Israel was God’s people, and Palestine was God’s land. This was the land that God had promised to give them. Israel was fighting the battle of the Lord.
