18<\/strong>. at Gob<\/em> ] A place mentioned only here and in 2Sa 21:19<\/em><\/span>. The Sept. reads Gath<\/em>, the parallel passage in Chron. Gezer<\/em>; and we must suppose that Gob<\/em> is either a corruption of the text, or some otherwise unknown place perhaps in the neighbourhood of Gezer, for which see note on ch. 2Sa 5:25<\/span>.<\/p>\n Sibbechai the Hushathite<\/em> ] One of David’s heroes (1Ch 11:29<\/span>), general of the eighth division of the army (1Ch 27:11<\/span>). See note on ch. 2Sa 23:27<\/span>.<\/p>\n Saph<\/em> ] Written Sippai<\/em> in Chron., where it is added that the Philistines were subdued.<\/p>\n A battle in Gob – <\/B>In the parallel passage (marginal reference), Gezer is named as the field of this battle. However, Gath is named 2Sa 21:20<\/span>, 2Sa 21:22<\/span> in a way to make it probable that Gath was the scene of all the battles. The Septuagint in this verse has Gath.<\/P> <\/p>\n 2Sa 21:18-22<\/span><\/p>\n Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n On doing valiantly<\/strong><\/p>\n If his master bids him perform exploits too hard for him, he draws upon the resources of omnipotence, and achieves impossibilities. Wellington sent word to his troops one night: Cindad Rodrigo must be taken to-night. And what do you think was the commentary of the British soldiers appointed for attack? Then, said they all, we will do it. So, when our great Captain sends round, as He doth to us, the word of command, Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature, if we were all good soldiers of the Cross, we should say at once, We will do it. However hard the task, since God Himself is with us to be our Captain, and Jesus the Priest of the Most High is with us to sound the trumpet, we will do it in Jehovahs name. (C. H. Spurgeon<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Deeds<\/strong><\/p>\n When a man dies they who survive him ask, what property Ire has left behind; the angel who bends over the dying one asks what good deeds he has sent before him. (H. W. Beecher.<\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n What one can do<\/strong><\/p>\n In one of the Napoleonic wars a young soldier complained to his commanding officer that his sword was too short. Then add a step to it, was the curt and significant reply. When I hear, says the Rev. W. L. Watkinson, a man say, You know you cannot do more than you can do, I am always still for a moment. It is such a philosophic sentence that it can only be taken in slowly. But you never know what you can do until you put your soul into it–until you add a step. Says Paul to Timothy: Stir up the gift that is in thee. And it is not so much a question of environment as it is a question of soul; it is not a question of opportunity, because it is in thee.<\/p>\n Action more than knowledge<\/strong><\/p>\n It is not the man who knows most, but the one that does best, that wins the victory, Grant, and Meade, and Sheridan could have been taught many lessons by our learned professors of military tactics and strategy, but none of these could have guided his forces to victory as Grant did at Chatanooga, Meade at Gettysberg, or have hurled his masses as Sheridan did at Winchester. Action guided by knowledge, if you will, but better action without knowledge than much knowledge and feeble action. (General Sherman<\/em>.)<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Verse 18<\/span>. A battle – at Gob<\/B><\/I>] Instead of Gob<\/I>, several editions, and about forty<\/I> of Kennicott’s<\/I> and De Rossi’s<\/I> MSS., have nob<\/I>; but Gezer<\/I> is the name in the parallel place, 1Ch 20:4<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n After this; <\/B>after the battle last mentioned. <\/P> At Gob, <\/B>or, in Gezer<\/I>, as it is 1Ch 20:4<\/span>; whereby it seems Gob<\/I> and Gezer<\/I> were neighbouring places, and the battle fought in the confines of both. <\/P> Sibbechai the Hushathite; <\/B>one of Davids worthies, 1Ch 11:29<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And it came to pass after this<\/strong>,…. After the former battle:<\/p>\n that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob<\/strong>; in<\/p>\n 1Ch 20:4<\/span> it is called Gezer; either the place had two names, or these two places were near each other; so that the battle may be said to be fought both at the one and at the other, being fought equally near to both:<\/p>\n then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which [was] of the sons of the giant<\/strong>; who is called Sippai, 1Ch 20:4<\/span>; he had his name from the lintel of a door, being as high as one, so tall that he could scarce go under one. Sibbechai was one of David’s worthies, 1Ch 11:29<\/span>; perhaps a descendant of Hushah, who sprung from Judah, 1Ch 4:4<\/span>.<\/p>\n (18) At Gob.<\/strong>Comp. 2Sa. 21:19<\/span>. The place is otherwise unknown. 1Ch. 20:4<\/span> reads Gezer, and the LXX. substitutes Gath. (Comp. 2Sa. 21:20<\/span>.) It is not at all remarkable that the names of many small places should be lost after the lapse of three thousand years, nor that the locality of the hamlet should be marked in the later chronicles by the better known neighbouring town of Gezer.<\/p>\n Sibbechai the Hushathite.<\/strong>Comp. 1Ch. 20:4<\/span>. <\/em>He is also mentioned in the list of heroes (1Ch. 11:29<\/span>); but in 2Sa. 23:27<\/span> the name is changed into Mebunnai the Hushathite by a slight alteration in the letters of the original. He was captain of the eighth division of the army (1Ch. 26:11<\/span>). The giant whom he slew is called Sippai in the parallel place in Chronicles, and it is there said that the Philistines were subdued.<\/p>\n 18<\/strong>. <\/strong> Gob <\/strong> According to the parallel passage in 1Ch 20:4<\/span>, the place of this battle was Gezer, <\/em> on the situation of which see Jos 10:33<\/span>. The site of Gob is not known, but it was probably close by Gezer.<\/p>\n Sibbechai <\/strong> Probably identical with the Mebunnar <\/em> of 2Sa 23:27<\/span>, and one of David’s mighty men. 1Ch 27:11<\/span>.<\/p>\n Hushathite <\/strong> So called from Hushah, his native town.<\/p>\n 2Sa 21:18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which [was] of the sons of the giant.<\/p>\n Ver. 18. There was again a battle.<\/strong> ] <\/p>\n “ Nunquam bella bonis, nunquam discrimina desunt:<\/p>\n Et quicum certet, mens pia semper habet. ”<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n At Gob.<\/em><\/strong> ] Which was near unto Gezar. See 1Ch 20:4<\/span><\/em> . Some a<\/em> for Gob read Nob, but that is not right. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Sept. Vat. Osiander.<\/p>\n Gob. Some codices, with two early printed editions, read “Nob”. <\/p>\n Sibbechai: 1Ch 11:29, 1Ch 20:4 <\/p>\n Saph: or, Sippai, 1Ch 20:4 <\/p>\n the giant: or, Rapha, 2Sa 21:16, 2Sa 21:20, *marg. <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Sa 17:8 – mighty men 1Ch 27:11 – Sibbecai<\/p>\n 2Sa 21:18. After this After the battle last mentioned. There was again a battle at Gob Or in Gezer, as in 1Ch 20:4, whereby it seems Gob and Gezer were neighbouring places, and the battle was fought in the confines of both. Sibbechai the Hushathite One of Davids worthies, 1Ch 11:29; slew Saph One of the same race of Rephaims, descended from the Anakims.<\/p>\n 21:18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at {o} Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which [was] of the sons of the giant.<\/p>\n (o) Called Gezer, and Saph is called Sippai, 1Ch 20:4.<\/p>\n And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which [was] of the sons of the giant. 18. at Gob ] A place mentioned only here and in 2Sa 21:19.
