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
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1This song, which is found with scarcely any material variation as 2 Samuel 22:44-46, Philistines, Moabites, Syrians, Ammonites, and Edomites, was still fresh 2 Samuel 21.

This prayer and Hannah’s prayer in 1 Samuel 2:1–10 together enclose the book of Samuel with an inclusio (literary bookends).

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