On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

David had been a valiant active man and a man of business, and very vehement had the flame always been in his breast; and yet now his blood is chilled and stagnated, he is confined to his bed, and there can get no heat. He was now seventy years old.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Old - Being in the end of his seventieth year. No heat - Which is not strange in a person who had been exercised with so many hardships in war, and with such tormenting cares, and fears, and sorrows, for his own sins (as divers of his Psalms witness) and for the sins and miseries of his children and people.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
