Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 42. - Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind (comp. Psalm 35:5). The enemy were beaten and dispersed so that they seemed driven as dust before the wind. I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. They were made no account of, treated with as little ceremony as the clay in the streets. Language of utter contempt.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(42) Before the wind.--In Samuel, the weaker "of the earth."Cast them out--i.e., sweep them before me. In Samuel "stamp and tread them out." So LXX. here "grind," or "pound."
