Bible Comments

The conduct of the filing of Hamath was political enough, in sending his son to congratulate David. But Reader! pass over the congratulations made by the king of Hamath, to attend to an infinitely higher subject: and behold God our Father sending his only begotten Son, that we may be at peace with him. 2 Corinthians 5:20.
