These are my thoughts, please share yours.
3 David killed some men, to take the kingdom the Lord had for him, the would be the largest the kingdom would ever be and after Solomon’s death it would soon never be that large again. Most times the Lord will lead us to places that we never thought we could go.
4 This shows a strong military might and was this way because the Lord was with David because David’s heart was for the Lord. A strong military meant power, land meant wealth, depending on the land, the Euphrates was very good land to gain, the desert would not be.
5 Sometimes the world will gain up on us trying to defeat us together; we should keep going as the Lord leads us. The Lord often times will be divided but there is not to be division within the church because God is not divided. One day the Lord will return a struck down all evil.
