Commentaries on 2 Samuel 22:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1David spake unto the Lord the words of this song - This is the same in substance, and almost in words, with Psalm 18:1-50, and therefore the exposition of it must be reserved till it occurs in its course in that book, with the exception of a very few observations, and Dr. Kennicott's general view of the subject.Read the comment

Both Moses and David's stories end with…Read the comment
