They were in great distress under the reign of Saul,1. Sam. 13. The spoilers came out of the Camp of the Philistines, 1in three companies, &c. Yet it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found. Here was a great want; three bands of the enemies, and but two swords: yet there were then two; and it so pleased God that those two were enow. As the Apostles said to Christ,2 Ecce duo gladij; Master, here are two swords: and he answered, It is enough. But two swords for so many, and against so many; a word of great misery. But God saith, Satis est, those two are enow, a word of great mercy. He can give victory with two swords, with one sword, with no sword: and so he did here, that convinced Israel might see, it was the Lord that fought for them; and so be moved to bless the Lord.
