Shobuch, making a new supply of the Syrains at Helam, is slain by David When all the kings who were subject to Hadadezer This phrase refers to the coalition of kings allied with Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, a region in Aram (modern-day Syria). Hadadezer was a powerful ruler who had previously expanded his territory.

HadadezerA king of Zobah, a region in Aram (modern-day Syria), who was a powerful adversary of Israel. His defeat marked a significant shift in regional power. 2. Arameans A group of people from the region of Aram, often in conflict with Israel. They were allies of the Ammonites in this battle. 3. Ammonites A neighboring nation of Israel, often in conflict with them. They initially sought the help of the Arameans against Israel. 4. Israel The nation chosen by God, led by King David during this time. Their victory over the Arameans and Ammonites demonstrated God's favor and protection. 5. David The King of Israel, known for his military prowess and his heart for God. His leadership was instrumental in the victory over Hadadezer and his allies. Teaching Points God's Sovereignty in BattlesThe victory of Israel over Hadadezer and the Arameans illustrates God's control over nations and His ability to bring about His purposes through His chosen people. The Importance of Seeking Peace The defeated kings sought peace with Israel, highlighting the value of reconciliation and the futility of opposing God's will. Fear of the Lord The Arameans' fear of helping the Ammonites again underscores the reverence and awe that God's power should inspire in us. Leadership and Obedience David's leadership and reliance on God serve as a model for how we should lead and make decisions in our own lives. Divine Protection and Favor Just as God protected Israel, believers can trust in His protection and favor in their spiritual battles.(19) Servants to Hadarezer.--The vassal kings, who had been tributary to Hadarezer, now transferred their allegiance to David; but it is not said that Hadarezer himself became a tributary, though it is plain from 2Samuel 8:3-7, that he was greatly weakened and suffered the loss of large booty. From 1Kings 11:23-24, it is plain that an escaped dependent of Hadarezer maintained himself in the territory of Damascus as an enemy of Israel; it is also stated in 1Kings 4:21, that Solomon "reigned over all kingdoms" from the Euphrates to the border of Egypt. It is therefore probable that Hadarezer also acknowledged the suzerainty of David and Solomon. Verse 19. - The kings... served them. It is evident from this that the petty kings of Rehob, Tob, and Maacah had been subject to Hadarezer; they now acknowledged the supremacy of David, and paid to him the tribute which they had previously paid to Zobah, and would be bound to supply him with a contingent of men in case of a war in their neighbourhood. The wars with Damascus and Edom, mentioned in 2 Samuel 8:5, 13, probably followed immediately upon Hadarezer's defeat, but are not referred to here, as the interest now centres in David's personal conduct. |
