2 Samuel 8:15 | Matthew Henry's Commentary

Source Coverage: 2 Samuel 8:15-18

He had no respect of persons in judgment. Herein he was a type of Christ. To Him let us submit, his friendship let us seek, his service let us count our pleasure, diligently attending to the work he assigns to each of us. David made his sons chief rulers; but all believers, Christ's spiritual seed, are better
preferred, for they are made kings and priests to our God, .
