22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
22 Once more the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim;
22 And the Philistines came up yet again and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
22 Later there was a repeat performance. The Philistines came up again and deployed their troops in the Rephaim Valley.
22 Then the Philistines went up once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.
22 But after a while the Philistines returned and again spread out across the valley of Rephaim.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 5:22
Commentary on 2 Samuel 5:17-25
(Read 2 Samuel 5:17-25)
The Philistines considered not that David had the presence of God with him, which Saul had forfeited and lost. The kingdom of the Messiah, as soon as it was set up in the world, was thus attacked by the powers of darkness. The heathen raged, and the kings of the earth set themselves to oppose it; but all in vain, Acts 2:2.
