1 Sam. 17:25• 25And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel. (1 Sam. 17:25)
he shall be.
1 Chron. 11:6‑9• 6And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
 7And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.

• The man very soon appears, the energetic man, but not the man of God. (“2 Samuel 5” by J.N. Darby)
• They who possess the true seat of God’s power, the place which He loves, and who, trusting to their natural strength, resist and scoff at the king whom God has chosen, are more hateful than any people, and are hated by those who have the Spirit of the Lord who establishes His throne upon the earth. (“2 Samuel 5” by J.N. Darby)
• And blind and lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them" (Matt. 21:12-14). His wrath and indignation are expressed in the zeal of God's house which devoured Him (Psa. 69:9), but He purifies His house, not to prevent the blind and the lame from entering it like David, but in order to introduce them there by healing them. (“The Strong Hold of Zion: 2 Samuel 5:1-10” by H.L. Rossier)
• His authority is contested; he is indignant―and his words display it (1 Chron. 11:6): "Whoever smites the Jebusites first shall he chief and captain." What happens? "Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief." Joab, the man whose craftiness we have seen from the very beginning; Joab, whose wickedness David had recognized, whom he had branded with the name "wicked man" before all the people, on whose head he had invoked God's judgment (2 Sam. 3:28-30), whom he had declared to be "too hard for me": this Joab is the man whom David's word gave occasion to become general in chief. (“The Strong Hold of Zion: 2 Samuel 5:1-10” by H.L. Rossier)
