SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:9
¶ Y David respondió a Recab y a su hermano Baana, hijos de Rimón Beerotita, y les dijo: Vive el SEÑOR que ha redimido mi alma de toda angustia,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 4:9
Verse 9. Who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity] This was, in David's case, a very proper view of the goodness and watchful providence of God towards him. His life was frequently in danger; murderers had often laid wait for it: but God, the living God, had always redeemed that life from all adversity; and called on him now to punish such evil- minded and blood-thirsty men.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite , etc.] In a manner they did not expect: and said unto them, [as] the Lord liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity ; spiritual and temporal, especially the latter is meant, and particularly what he had been brought into by the persecution of Saul, while living, and by those that adhered to his house since his death; which he ascribes to the Lord, and doubted not that he would still deliver him, and complete what he had designed for him, and that he needed not the assistance of such wicked hands as theirs; the words contain the form of an oath made to testify the truth of the following narrative, concerning the man that brought the tidings of Saul’s death to him, or for the certainty of what he would do those persons for the murder of Ishbosheth.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-12 - A person may be glad to obtain his just wishes, and yet really regre the means by which he receives them. He may be sorry for the death of person by which he is a gainer. These men shed innocent blood, from the basest motives. David justly executed vengeance upon them. He would no be beholden to any to help him by unlawful practices. God had helpe him over many a difficulty, and through many a danger, therefore he depended upon him to crown and complete his own work. He speaks of his redemption from all adversity, as a thing done; though he had man storms yet before him, he knew that He who had delivered, woul deliver __________________________________________________________________
