David's prayer and thanksgiving And who is like Your people Israel This phrase emphasizes the uniqueness of Israel as God's chosen people. The Hebrew word for "people" is "עַם" (am), which signifies a collective group bound by a common identity and purpose. Historically, Israel was set apart by God through the covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This distinctiveness is not just in their ethnic identity but in their relationship with God, who chose them to be a light to the nations (Isaiah 42:6). The rhetorical question underscores the unparalleled status of Israel in God's redemptive plan. the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself and to make a name for Himself by doing great and awesome deeds by driving out nations before Your people whom You redeemed from Egypt Nation (goy)--i.e., race; a people considered as united by common blood, speech, country. People ('?m)--i.e., a political community, social union, or state, owning one sovereign. Whom God went . . .--Literally, which God went (marched) to redeem to Himself as a people. Samuel has "which gods went." To make thee a name.--That is, for Thyself, God. Samuel has "for him," in the same sense. A name of greatness and terribleness.--Both nouns are plural, and imply renown for great and terrible deeds. By driving.--To drive; parallel with "to redeem "and "to make." Nations.--Samuel adds, "and his gods." The text of this verse in Samuel is corrupt (comp. the LXX.), and perhaps the added phrase is spurious. But, on the other hand, the chronicler may have omitted it because, like Isaiah, he regarded the heathen deities as non-entities. In earlier times, foreign gods were spoken of as real beings, subordinate to Jehovah. (Comp. the LXX. rendering of Deuteronomy 32:8.) . . . Verse 21. - In the parallel verse (2 Samuel 7:23), our Authorized Version, following the Hebrew text (לְכֶם), reads, "To do for you great things and terrible." The transition is awkward, no way in harmony with the other short clauses of the passage, and it would be inexplicable except for the alternative open to us, of regarding it as a quotation from Deuteronomy 4:34, brought in regardless of the context into which it was introduced. The difficulty does not meet us in our present passage, being obviated by the other sentences of our compiler. Both places, however, manifestly quote from the Book of Deuteronomy, with the grand passages and grand verbiage of which we may well imagine David familiar. A similar familiarity is also betokened in the following verses, as regard other Pentateuchal passages.Parallel Commentaries ...
