"David is the man whom God now delights to honour, for he is a man after his own heart. We read in the foregoing chapter how, after he was anointed, Providence made him famous in the court; we read in this chapter how Providence made him much more famous in the camp, and, by both, not only marked him for a great man, but fitted him for the throne for which he was designed. In the court he was only Saul’s physician; but in the camp Israel’s champion; there he fairly fought, and beat Goliath of Gath."
It is explained in 2 Timothy 3,
Note, Those are wise indeed who are wise to salvation. The scriptures are able to make us truly wise, wise for our souls and another world. "To make thee wise to salvation through faith.’’ Observe, The scriptures will make us wise to salvation, if they be mixed with faith, and not otherwise, Heb. 4:2 . For, if we do not believe their truth and goodness, they will do us no good.
