2 Samuel 10 · John Wesley
David sent - There had hitherto been friendship between David and him: and therefore the spoils of the children of Ammon are mentioned, chap.8:12, by way of anticipation, and with respect to the story here following.
Shaved - To fasten this is a reproach upon them, and to make them ridiculous and contemptible. Cut off, &c. - This was worse than the former, because the Israelites wore no breeches, and so their nakedness was hereby uncovered.
