Context of Psalms 68:14

12Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil. 13Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, [ye shall be as] wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold. When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon. 15[As] mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, [as] mount Bashan. 16Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell [there] for ever.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-14Verses 7-14 Fresh mercies should put us in mind of former mercies.
