Psalms 68:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Kings of armies; the kings of Canaan and other nations which came forth against the Israelites, accompanied with great and numerous armies. The spoil was so much, that there was enough, not only for the proper use of those who took it, but also to be divided to their wives and children when they came home. This verse and that which follows may be taken, either,

1. For the triumphant song sung by those publishers mentioned Psalms 68:11. Or,

2. For the words of David, continuing the relation of the victories granted by God to Israel ever their enemies.

Psalms 68:12

12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
