And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.
KJV
And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the Lord was with him.
And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways,.... Both in the court and in the camp, in whatsoever service he was employed; or "prospered" (u), as the word also signifies; for, generally speaking, those that behave wisely succeed well; in this he was a type of Christ, Isa 52:13; the reason of it follows: and the Lord was with him; from whom he had his wisdom and success; the Targum is,"the Word of the Lord was for his help.'' (u) משכיל "prospere admodum res gerebat", Vatablus; "secundabatur", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; so the Targum and Jarchi.
2 , where it is David's promise, I will behave myself wisely; and that promise he here performed; and it is his prayer, O, when wilt thou come unto me? And that prayer God here answered: The Lord was with him.
