2 Samuel 1:22 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The bow of Jonathan returned not back Without effect. The arrows shot from his bow did not miss their mark, but pierced deep into the fat and flesh, the heart and bowels, and shed the blood of the mighty. The sword of Saul returned not empty Always did great execution (as we now speak) upon those with whom he fought.
