Book ◦ Chapter

He placed garrisons throughout Edom
This phrase indicates a strategic military move by King David to establish control over Edom, a neighboring nation to the south of Israel. Edom, descended from Esau, Jacob's brother, had a long history of conflict with Israel. By placing garrisons, David ensured a permanent military presence, securing Israel's southern border and maintaining peace. This action reflects the fulfillment of the prophecy given to Rebekah inGenesis 25:23, where it was foretold that the older (Esau/Edom) would serve the younger (Jacob/Israel). Archaeological evidence suggests that Edom was a significant kingdom during this period, with fortified cities that David would have needed to control to secure his reign.

and all the Edomites were subject to David
This subjugation of the Edomites under David's rule signifies the expansion of his kingdom and the fulfillment of God's promise to give Israel victory over its enemies. Historically, this subjugation would have involved tribute and labor, integrating Edom into the economic and political structure of David's kingdom. The Edomites' subjection is a testament to David's military prowess and God's favor upon him. This also prefigures the ultimate reign of Christ, who will have dominion over all nations, as prophesied inPsalm 2:8.

So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went
This phrase underscores the divine favor and providence that accompanied David's military campaigns. It highlights the theological theme that David's success was not merely due to his own abilities but was a result of the LORD's intervention and blessing. This echoes the covenantal promise made to David in2 Samuel 7, where God assures him of a lasting dynasty. The victories granted to David foreshadow the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, who triumphs over sin and death, establishing an eternal kingdom. This divine assistance is a recurring theme in the narrative of David's life, emphasizing that true success and victory come from reliance on God.

What Does 2 Samuel 8:14 Mean

He placed garrisons throughout Edom

• David literally stationed military outposts in key locations across Edom, the territory south of Judah.

• This mirrors what he had already done in Aram-Damascus (2 Samuel 8:6), showing a consistent strategy of securing borders by a permanent military presence.

• The move fulfilled earlier promises that Israel would triumph over Edom (Numbers 24:18;Psalm 60:8, title and v. 12).

•1 Chronicles 18:12-13 repeats the same event, underscoring its historical reality.

and all the Edomites were subject to David

• The phrase means Edom came under Israel’s direct rule, paying tribute and accepting David’s authority.

• This is the outworking of God’s word to Rebekah that the elder (Esau/Edom) would serve the younger (Jacob/Israel) inGenesis 25:23.

• The arrangement was not mere coercion; it brought Edom into the sphere of a covenant-ruled kingdom where justice and order were expected (2 Samuel 8:15).

• Later generations show how fragile this subjection could be (1 Kings 11:15-16;2 Kings 8:20-22), but at this point David’s rule is complete.

So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went

• Scripture gives the credit explicitly to the LORD, not to military brilliance alone (2 Samuel 5:10; 8:6).

• David’s success fulfills God’s covenant promise in2 Samuel 7:9—“I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies before you.”

• The pattern—human obedience, divine empowerment—is echoed inPsalm 18:32-34 and later celebrated inPsalm 144:1-2.

• By repeating this line twice in the same chapter, the text insists that God’s faithfulness, not human strength, is the decisive factor (cf.1 Samuel 18:14).

summary

2 Samuel 8:14 records a concrete, historical act: David stationed garrisons in Edom, bringing the entire nation under his rule. This fulfilled earlier prophecies about Edom’s subjugation and secured Israel’s southern border. Yet the verse closes by stressing that every victory sprang from the LORD’s hand. David’s strategic moves and military might were real, but the ultimate cause was God’s covenant faithfulness, ensuring that His anointed king prospered “wherever he went.”

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 14. -Throughout all Edom put he garrisons. In a country naturally so strong as Edom, and with neighbouring states ready to give shelter to their fugitives, Joab's attempt would cause great misery, but only a moderate loss of life. And as soon as he withdrew, the exiles would return to their old homes. To keep them, therefore, in entire subjection, the country was. held by strong garrisons, and the Edomites became David's servants, being apparently deprived for the present of any form of independent government. We have, then, in this chapter, a brief summary of David's wars, whereby he established his supremacy ever the extensive region from Hamath on the north to the salt plains on the south of the Dead Sea, and from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates.
