Charles Spurgeon Commentary 2 Samuel 23:5

"Verily my house is not so with God; Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things, and sure: For it is all my salvation, and all [my] desire, Although he maketh it not to grow." — 2 Samuel 23:5 (ASV)

Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he does not make it grow.

What blessed words his last words were! His sorrow is turned into joy; his own house grieves him, but God's promise comforts him. I think we must read this verse again; perhaps there is some father here who is growing old, or some mother upon whom years are multiplying. May these last words of David be such as your last words may be! Although my house is not so with God; yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire.
