Answer: The blind and the lame seem to have been set as a taunt to the anointed of Jehovah on the supposed impregnable fortress of Zion; and David felt it with all indignant ardor. They were the hated of his soul: Nevertheless Joab took the hill of Zion on David’s behalf, the center of his kingdom, and the prize that secured his own place of command. All in man’s hand fails. How blessedly does the Lord contrast with it, Who, when He cast out those that made Jehovah’s house a den of thieves, received blind and lame that came to Him in the temple, and healed them.
