(15) В¶ And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.
How delightful to see, and again to have it marked to our notice, to whom David owed all his blessings. And his reign so prosperous, so ordered, so conducted! Surely the Lord was with him. But, Reader, again behold in it, the peaceable kingdom of Jesus strikingly represented; and all David's victories types of the triumphs of David's Lord in the conquests of his cross. It is Jesus who spoiled principalities and powers, and made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Colossians 2:15. Yes! dearest Lord, we now sing the glories of thy reign of grace; and by and by we shall sing that song of thy reign of glory in heaven. Now is come salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ. Revelation 12:10.
