2 Samuel 23:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 23:7

But the man [that] shall touch them must be fenced with iron
and the staff of a spear
To remove these thorns, or sons of Belial, out of the way, or to defend himself against them; or weapons of war must be made use of to conquer and destroy them, according to the sense of Ben Gersom, and which De Dieu follows; a man that meddles with them must expect to be as much hurt and wounded by them, all over the body, as if not only the point or iron head of a spear, but the wood or handle of the spear, were thrust up in him; but the former sense seems best:

and they shall be utterly burnt with fire in the [same] place:
where the thorns grew, or whither they are removed, or are sitting; where persons are sitting to warm themselves by them: and this may be understood of the destruction of wicked rulers, when their kingdom is taken from them, and they are consumed root and branch; and was true not only of Saul, and his posterity, as some apply it, and of Jeroboam, and those like to him, as the above Jewish writer; but of the wicked Jews, and their rulers, those sons of Belial, who rejected the yoke of Christ, and would not have him to rule over them; to whom the Lord sent the Roman armies fenced with swords and spears, and burnt their city, and destroyed them in the same place; and may take in antichrist, and antichristian states, those sons of Belial, of the wicked (anomov) , and lawless one, the son of perdition, whose city, Rome, shall be burnt with fire; and even all wicked men, at the great day of judgment, to which the Targum refers these words; when they, whose end, like thorns, is to be burnt, will be cast into the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.

2 Samuel 23:7 In-Context

5 »¿Acaso no es a mi familia que Dios ha elegido?
Sí, ha hecho un pacto eterno conmigo.
Su pacto está arreglado y asegurado hasta el último detalle;
él garantizará mi seguridad y mi éxito.

6 Pero los que no conocen a Dios son como espinos que se desechan,
porque desgarran la mano que los toca.

7 Se deben usar herramientas de hierro para cortarlos;
serán completamente consumidos por fuego».

8 Los guerreros más valientes de David
Estos son los nombres de los guerreros más valientes de David. El primero era Jasobeam el hacmonita,
quien era el líder de los Tres,
los tres guerreros más valientes entre los hombres de David. Una vez utilizó su lanza para matar a ochocientos guerreros enemigos en una sola batalla.

9 El siguiente en rango entre los Tres era Eleazar, hijo de Dodai, un descendiente de Ahoa. Una vez Eleazar y David juntos les hicieron frente a los filisteos cuando todo el ejército israelita había huido.
