Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

They made peace with David, and became his servants - See on 2-Samuel 10:19 (note), and the concluding note in that place; and see for omissions in Chronicles, the preface to these books.

His servants - Let those who have in vain stood it out against God, be thus wise for themselves. Let them become his servants; for they are undone, if they remain his enemies.
