What Does 2 Samuel 22:46 Mean?
David completes the picture: the foreign powers that opposed him 'fade away' and come trembling 'out of their close places', their fortified hideouts. The strength of those who resist God's anointed drains away before him.
Where God establishes His king, opposition cannot finally hold its ground. The strongholds of resistance are emptied. For the believer, this is quiet assurance that no fortress of hostility against God's purpose will stand forever; in the end every proud stronghold yields before the reign He establishes.
