As 21st century westerners this passage is hard to read. We cringe at so many being killed, and horses being hamstrung. Yet the key to the passage lies in verse 15 “David ruled over all Israel, doing what was just and right for all his people”. God honoured David for doing what is just and right by giving
him great victories in battle and bringing peace and prosperity to Israel.
I think the lesson for us to take from this passage is to viagra generic make sure we do what is” just and right”, and to grow in our ‘Christlikeness’.

I also like verse 14b ‘the Lord helped David win his battles everywhere he went’. So long as we have God first in our lives, I believe he will help win our battles too.
