Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Thou shalt feed my people Israel (so 2 Samuel 5:2; 2 Samuel 7:7; Psalm 78:71). Thus to the servant is condescendingly vouchsafed the same description as the Master takes through the Spirit for himself - to the under-shepherd the same as the Chief Shepherd acknowledges; note same psalm, ver. 72; Psalm 23:1-4; Psalm 100:3; 1 Peter 5:4.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) In time past.--Yesterday, or three days since. A very indefinite phrase, used in Genesis 31:2 of a time fourteen years since, and 2Kings 13:5 of more than forty years ago.Leddest out.--To battle.Broughtest in.--Of the homeward march. David had thus already discharged kingly functions. (Comp. 1Samuel 8:20; 1Samuel 18:6; 1Samuel 18:13; 1Samuel 18:27; 2Samuel 3:18.) . . .
