| 7 | 1 Chronicles 10:1–14 | Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa. The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua. When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him. Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run it through me, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it. When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died. So Saul died together with his three sons and all his house. When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities. The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. They stripped Saul, cut off his head, took his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people. They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of Dagon. When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul, all their men of valor set out and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh.

Psalms 60:10 Summary
In Psalms 60:10, the psalmist is asking God if He has rejected His people and if He will still fight for them. This verse shows us that it's okay to ask God hard questions and to seek His help in times of need. Just like the psalmist, we can come to God with our doubts and fears, and ask for His presence and power in our lives, as seen in Jeremiah 29:12-13, where God promises to hear and answer our prayers. By seeking God's presence and power, we can trust that He will be with us and help us, even in difficult times, as promised in Isaiah 41:10.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for God to 'reject' His people?
In Psalms 60:10, the psalmist is expressing a sense of abandonment, wondering if God has rejected His people, similar to what is described in Psalms 44:9 and 74:1, where the people of God feel forsaken, but as seen in Deuteronomy 31:6, God promises to never leave or forsake His people.
Why would God not march out with the armies of His people?
The question in Psalms 60:10 implies that the psalmist is seeking God's direct intervention in battle, as seen in Exodus 14:14 and Deuteronomy 20:4, where God fights for His people, suggesting a desire for a tangible demonstration of God's presence and power.
How does this verse relate to the idea of God's presence in our lives?
The psalmist's plea for God to march out with their armies highlights the importance of recognizing God's presence and involvement in our daily lives, as encouraged in Matthew 28:20 and Hebrews 13:5, where God's presence is promised to believers.
What does this verse teach us about prayer and seeking God's help?
Psalms 60:10 shows us the importance of honest, heartfelt prayer, as seen in Psalms 42:1-2, where the psalmist pours out his soul to God, demonstrating that we can come to God with our questions, fears, and doubts, and seek His aid in times of need, as in Psalms 121:1-2.
Reflection Questions
- What are some times in my life when I have felt like God was not with me, and how did I respond to those feelings?
- How can I, like the psalmist, express my honest doubts and fears to God in prayer, and what can I learn from his example?
- In what ways can I seek God's presence and power in my own life, and what are some practical steps I can take to deepen my relationship with Him?
- How does the promise of God's presence in my life, as seen in Matthew 28:20, impact my daily decisions and actions?
Gill's Exposition on Psalms 60:10
[Wilt] not thou, O God?.... This is an answer to the question, and is made by putting another, which tacitly contains in it an affirmation that God would do it.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 60:10
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? -Anticipation of, and prayer for, success in the expedition against Edom. Verse 9. Who will bring me into the strong city?
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 60:10
To wit, in former times, but now hast graciously returned to us. He brings to his own and people’ s minds their former calamities, that they may be more thankful for present mercies and deliverance.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 60:10
Psalms 60:10 [Wilt] not thou, O God, [which] hadst cast us off? and [thou], O God, [which] didst not go out with our armies?Ver. 10. Wilt not thou, O God?] Or, hast not thou, &c. The glory of all victories is to be given to God in solidum. Strong cities are nothing, when he will have them subdued, and sacked. Which hadst cast us off] See Psalms 44:9. The Church’ s prosperity, like checker work, is intermingled with adversity.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 60:10
Verse 10. Wilt not thou, O God] It is God alone from whom we can expect our enlargement. He who has cast us off, and has abandoned us in battle; it is that very God alone from whom we expect complete enlargement, the repossession of our own land, and the subduction of the surrounding nations; and we expect this, because he has graciously promised these mercies.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 60:10
10. Wilt not thou, O God &c.] This rendering, which is that of the LXX, Vulg., Symm., and Jer., is grammatically legitimate, though less obvious than that of R.V.; Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. It suits the context better as the answer to Psalms 60:9 in a tone of confidence which corresponds to that of Psa 60:12. Though God has for the moment deserted us, and has not led our armies to victory, He will surely now give us help, for we trust in Him alone. The rendering of R.V. introduces a note of despair, which harmonises ill with the confidence of Psa 60:12. With it the connexion of thought would be, Who can lead us into the enemy’s stronghold? None but God, and God has deserted us. Yet even now perhaps He will hear our prayer (Psalms 60:11). With the second line cp.
Psalms 44:9.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 60:10
Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst east us off? - See the notes at Psalms 60:1. The meaning is, that although God had seemed to reject and forsake them, they had no other resource, and the appeal might be still made to him.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 60:10
10. Hadst cast us off—See Psalms 60:1
