And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways, etc.] Both in the court and in the camp, in whatsoever service he was employed; or “prospered” f387, as the word also signifies; for, generally speaking, those that behave wisely succeed well; in this he was a type of Christ, (<235213>Isaiah 52:13); the reason of it follows, and the Lord [was] with him; from whom he had his wisdom and success; the Targum is, “the Word of the Lord was for his help.”
