13 "Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, O rock of the plain, says the Lord; you who say, 'Who shall come down against us, or who shall enter our habitations?'
The wickedness of the king and his family was the worse because of their relation to David. They were urged to act with justice, at once, lest the Lord's anger should be unquenchable. If God be for us, who can be against us? But if he be against us, who can do any thing for us?
