2 Samuel 10:16 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. — 2 Samuel 10:16
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.
