The Success of the King
Jesus Christ, the Son of David, sent his ambassadors, his apostles and ministers, after all his servants the prophets, to his people, but they treated them shamefully, as Hanun did David’s ambassadors, mocked them, abused them, slew them; and it was this that filled the measure of their iniquity, and brought upon them ruin without remedy; for Christ takes the affronts and injuries done to his ministers as done to himself and will avenge them accordingly.
– Matthew Henry
