SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:18
Y vinieron los filisteos, y se extendieron por el valle de Rafaim (de los gigantes ).
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim .] Or “of the giants”, as ( Joshua 15:8); which lay to the west of Jerusalem; of which, (see Gill on “ Joshua 15:8”); the Philistines spreading themselves in it, shows that they were very numerous.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-25 - The Philistines considered not that David had the presence of God with him, which Saul had forfeited and lost. The kingdom of the Messiah, a soon as it was set up in the world, was thus attacked by the powers of darkness. The heathen raged, and the kings of the earth set themselve to oppose it; but all in vain, Ps 2:1, &c. The destruction will turn as this did, upon Satan's own kingdom. David owns dependence on God for victory; and refers himself to the good pleasure of God, Wilt thou d it? The assurance God has given us of victory over our spiritual enemies, should encourage us in our spiritual conflicts. David waite till God moved; he stirred then, but not till then. He was trained u in dependence on God and his providence. God performed his promise, an David failed not to improve his advantages. When the kingdom of the Messiah was to be set up, the apostles, who were to beat down the devil's kingdom, must not attempt any thing till they received the promise of the Spirit; who came with a sound from heaven, as of rushing, mighty wind, Ac 2:2 __________________________________________________________________
