What Does 1 Chronicles 19:19 Mean?
Seeing themselves thoroughly beaten, Hadarezer's servants sue for peace and become subject to David. The Arameans refuse to aid Ammon any longer, and the coalition that began with an insult ends in submission to Israel's king.
What began with contempt for kindness ends with former enemies bowing in peace. Opposition to God's anointed gives way at last to submission. So Scripture points beyond David to the King before whom every power will finally yield, and in whom true and lasting peace is found.
