On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

God, in strengthening him that was their king and fought their battles, strengthened the whole kingdom. He calls himself God's anointed because it was the unction he had received that exposed him to the envy of his enemies, and therefore entitled him to the divine protection. Of Christ, his anointed, his Messiah, in the anti-type.
