Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament (1765)

Dwelt in - That is, the cities or towns belonging to Hebron, which was the Metropolis. For in Hebron itself there was not space for them all, because it was filled with priests, and with David's court.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Thus, if we suffer with Christ, we shall reign with him, 2 Tim. ii. Nay, Christ does more for his good soldiers than David could do for his; David found lodging for them-- They dwelt in the cities of Hebron, and adjacent towns; but to those who continue with Christ in his temptations he appoints a kingdom, and will feast them at his own table, Luke xxii.
