2 Samuel 5:10

And David went on, and grew great
In honour and wealth, in fame and reputation, in subduing his enemies, obtaining conquests over them, and enlarging his dominions:

and the Lord God of hosts,
of armies above and below,

[was] with him:
to whom all his prosperity and success was owing. The Targum is,

``the Word of the Lord God of hosts was for his help,''

or his helper.
