On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

David, as recorded in the foregoing chapter, had, by the great mercy of God, escaped the sword of the destroying angel. But our deliverances from or through diseases and dangers are but reprieves; if the candle be not blown out, it will burn out of itself. We have David here sinking under the infirmities of old age, and brought by them to the gates of the grave.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
