Matthew Henry on 1 Samuel 25:39-44

Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · Matthew Henry · CC0 1.0 Universal

With great humility, and doubtless agreeably to the customs of those times, she consented, being willing to share his trails. Thus those who join themselves to Christ, must be willing now to suffer with him, believing that hereafter they shall reign with him.
