 Thus this servant of David is put to the test; he does not abandon his master in danger and has the honor of saving David. Is it not likewise with us? The Lord has fought for us and delivered us; do we not in a sense have the duty of helping Him? His name, His person, and His glory are threatened by the enemy's agents. (The Sons of the Giant: 2 Samuel 21:15-22 by H.L. Rossier)
 And so each one's faith is put to the test. They realize that they themselves must fight, each in his rank, so that the light of God's people might not go. (The Sons of the Giant: 2 Samuel 21:15-22 by H.L. Rossier)
