2 Samuel 10:15 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together. — 2 Samuel 10:15
Source Coverage: 2 Samuel 10:15-19
Here is a new attempt of the Syrians. Even the baffled cause will make head as long as there is any life in it; the enemies of the Son of David do so. But now the promise made to Abraham, , and repeated to Joshua, , that the borders of Israel should extend to the river Euphrates, was performed. Learn hence, that it is dangerous to help those who have God against them; for when they fall,
their helpers will fall with them.
