Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

He is not cut off from his people, as the expression usually is concerning those that die by the hand of divine justice, but he is gathered to his people, as one that died in the arms of divine grace. There is much of type and significancy in them.
