Commentary on 2 Samuel 23:6

Theological / Devotional

As thorns. In contrast to the establishment of David’s throne would be the sad fate of the men of Belial. Godless men would not enjoy the fruits of salvation, but they would be “as thorns thrust away,” cast aside as something utterly worthless, to be consumed and become as a thing of nought.

With hands. The wicked are like thorns that pierce the hands of those who endeavor to touch them. Thus ordinary means do not suffice to put them out of the way.
