15 But now bring me a minstrel.” It happened, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Yahweh came on him. 16 He said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’
The king of Israel laments their distress, and the danger they were in. He called these kings together, yet he charges it upon Providence. Thus the foolishness of man perverteth his way, and then his heart fretteth against the Lord, Psalm 84:6. We need not inquire whence the water came. God is not tied to second causes. They that sincerely seek for the dew of God's grace, shall have it, and by it be made more than conquerors.
