8 Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him.
8 And there was war again. And David went out and fought with the Philistines and struck them with a great blow, so that they fled before him.
8 War broke out again and David went out to fight Philistines. He beat them badly, and they ran for their lives.
8 And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and struck them with a mighty blow, and they fled from him.
8 War broke out again after that, and David led his troops against the Philistines. He attacked them with such fury that they all ran away.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 19:8
Commentary on 1 Samuel 19:1-10
(Read 1 Samuel 19:1-10)
How forcible are right words! Saul was, for a time, convinced of the unreasonableness of his enmity to David; but he continued his malice against David. So incurable is the hatred of the seed of the serpent against that of the woman; so deceitful and desperately wicked is the heart of man without the grace of God, Jeremiah 17:9.
