11 And he went up to Baal-perazim, and David struck them down there. And David said, "God has broken through[1] my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood." Therefore the name of that place is called Baal-perazim.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:11

Chapter Contents

David's victories.

In this chapter we have an account of, 1. David's kingdom established. 2. His family built up. 3. His enemies defeated. This is repeated from 2 Samuel 5. Let the fame of David be looked upon as a type and figure of the exalted honour of the Son of David.
