What Does 1 Chronicles 18:13 Mean?
With Edom subdued, David stations garrisons there too, and the Edomites become his servants. Then comes that refrain once more: the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
Twice in this chapter the chronicler repeats this line, lest we forget where the victories come from. The drumbeat of David's success is really the steady faithfulness of God. Long ago Isaac had blessed Jacob over Esau, and now that ancient word bears fruit, all by the keeping of the Lord.
