SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:52
Y levantándose los de Israel y de Judá, dieron grita, y siguieron a los filisteos hasta llegar al valle, y hasta las puertas de Ecrón. Y cayeron heridos de los filisteos por el camino de Saaraim, hasta Gat y Ecrón.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 52. And the men of Israel and of Judah arose , etc.] From their encampment and entrenchment, or they prepared for a pursuit: and shouted, and pursued the Philistines ; shouted when they first set out, and continued shouting as they pursued, to animate their own troops, and terrify the enemy: until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron ; which was one of the five principalities of the Philistines; so that they pursued them to their own cities, and to the very gates of them: and the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim ; a city in the tribe of Judah, and seems to be the same with Sharaim, (see Gill on “ Joshua 15:36”). Josephus says f380 , there were killed of the Philistines thirty thousand, and twice as many wounded: even unto Gath, and unto Ekron ; Josephus has it, to the borders of Gath, and to the gates of Ashkelon, which were two other principalities of the Philistines; according to Bunting f382 , the whole chase was this, to the valley and river Sorek four miles; from thence to Ekron eight miles; to Ashkelon twenty miles, and to Gath twenty four miles; that is, from the place where Goliath was killed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 48-58 - See how frail and uncertain life is, even when a man thinks himsel best fortified; how quickly, how easily, and by how small a matter, the passage may be opened for life to go out, and death to enter! Let no the strong man glory in his strength, nor the armed man in his armour God resists the proud, and pours contempt on those who defy him and his people. No one ever hardened his heart against God and prospered. The history is recorded, that all may exert themselves for the honour of God, and the support of his cause, with bold and unshaken reliance of him. There is one conflict in which all the followers of the Lamb are and must be engaged; one enemy, more formidable than Goliath, stil challenges the armies of Israel. But "resist the devil, and he wil flee from you." God forth to battle with the faith of David, and the powers of darkness shall not stand against you. But how often is the Christian foiled through an evil heart of unbelief __________________________________________________________________
