Commentary on 2 Samuel 4:9

Theological / Devotional

Redeemed my soul. David had become well acquainted with God and His ways of justice and right. Repeatedly the Lord had intervened to spare the life of David and to bring distress upon his enemies. David was willing to leave vengeance with the Lord (Deuteronomy 32:35; cf. Romans 12:19; Hebrews 10:30). He did not need the crimes of men to help him out of his troubles.
