1 Samuel - 17:40 Meaning
“And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
17:40-47 The security and presumption of fools destroy them. Nothing can excel the humility, faith, and piety which appear in David's words. He expressed his assured expectation of success; he gloried in his mean appearance and arms, that the victory might be ascribed to the Lord alone.
“And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.”
