And have cut off all thine enemies.This appears to refer not merely to the death of Saul and the overthrow of his house, but also to the successful conclusion of some of the wars recorded in the following chapters. (Comp. also 1Ch. 14:8-17.)
And have made thee.Rather, and I will make thee.
The great men.The sovereigns of Egypt and Babylon, of Tyre, and the Hittite states.
