21 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
21 And when he defied
21 And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David's brother, struck him down.
21 He insulted Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
21 So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
21 But when he defied and taunted Israel, he was killed by Jonathan, the son of David's brother Shimea.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 21:21
Commentary on 2 Samuel 21:15-22
(Read 2 Samuel 21:15-22)
These events seem to have taken place towards the end of David's reign. David fainted, but he did not flee, and God sent help in the time of need. In spiritual conflicts, even strong saints sometimes wax faint; then Satan attacks them furiously; but those who stand their ground and resist him, shall be relieved and made more than conquerors. Death is a Christian's last enemy, and a son of Anak; but through Him that triumphed for us, believers shall be more than conquerors at last, even over that enemy.
