Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:43

Theological / Devotional

As the dust. David’s enemies were pulverized as dust, their power being changed into impotence. Ps. 18:42 has: “as the dust before the wind,” thus adding the thought of scattering the adversary as dust is scattered before the wind.

As the mire of the street. Another expression denoting completeness of victory. Not only were the enemies of David crushed to dust, they were trodden underneath his feet (see Isa. 10:6; Zech. 10:5; Mal. 4:3).
