2 Samuel - 18:8 Meaning

ADS-1

“For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.”

King James Version (KJV)

ADS-2

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

18:1-8 How does David render good for evil! Absalom would have only David smitten; David would have only Absalom spared. This seems to be a resemblance of man's wickedness towards God, and God's mercy to man, of which it is hard to say which is most amazing. Now the Israelites see what it is to take counsel against the Lord and his anointed.

ADS-3

“That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.”
