 He is about to take the place that God had long before purposed for him. The first thing David now does is to consult the Lord, to show that he depends completely on Him. We could say that above all else, dependence is the characteristic feature of his career....(1 Sam. 30:6-7), David is a dependent man and consequently a strong man. Nothing is more pleasing to God than this. Our walk's uncertainties and vacillations are explained by our lack of dependence. (Hebron: 2 Samuel 2 by H.L. Rossier)
 David left to himself might perhaps have hesitated to choose from among many places, but God designates one place alone for His servant. (Hebron: 2 Samuel 2 by H.L. Rossier)
 Hebron was the point at which his reign, typically speaking, must begin, David's reign being but a type of Christ's reign which is based on the cross. Christ's kingdom is the consequence and the reward of His cross. (Hebron: 2 Samuel 2 by H.L. Rossier)
