1 Samuel 17 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

And goes to meet him.

The security and presumption of fools destroy them. Nothing can excel the humility, faith, and piety which appear in David's words. He expressed his assured expectation of success; he gloried in his mean appearance and arms, that the victory might be ascribed to the Lord alone. (1Sa 17:48-58)
