Verse 4 is found in chapter 8 of 2 Samuel. The chapter summarizes David’s military victories over various peoples and territories, showing the expansion of Israel’s influence. The narrator repeatedly attributes success to the Lord, avoiding presenting the conquests as the exclusive result of the king’s military ability. The spoils and resources obtained also appear connected to future worship. Political expansion is therefore integrated into a narrative of providence and kingdom consolidation.
