Bible Commentary for 2 Samuel 23:13

Wesley's Notes for 2 Samuel 23:13


23:11 Lentiles - Or barley, as it is #1Chron 11:13|. For both might grow in the same field, in divers parts of it. And this fact is ascribed to Eleazar, #1Chron 11:12|, but it is implied, that he had some partner or partners in it; for it is there said, #1Chr 11:14 they| set themselves, &c. So Eleazar might fight in that part where the barley was and Shammah where the lentiles were.

23:12 Lord wrought - How great soever the bravery of the instruments is, the praise of the achievement is to be given to God. These fought, but God wrought the victory.

23:15 Said - Being hot and thirsty, he expresses how acceptable a draught of that water would be to him; but was far from desiring, or expecting that any of his men should hazard their lives to procure it.
