And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
The verse belongs to the record of the work of David during the prosperous years of his reign. That record shows the division of his armies and the work that he did. It provides lessons from his virtues and his mistakes and from God's mercy and guidance. The parallel record in Samuel is to be compared with it, since it gives much the same account apart from genealogies.
