His fame spreading "into every land" signifies the extent of his influence beyond the borders of Israel, reaching neighboring nations. This phrase highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to make David's name great (<a href="/2_samuel/7-9.htm">2 Samuel 7:9</a>). The historical context shows that David's leadership and military prowess were recognized widely, contributing to the stability and expansion of Israel. Archaeological findings, such as the Tel Dan Stele, provide evidence of David's historical existence and his impact on the region.<p><b>and the LORD caused all nations to fear him</b><br>The fear of David among the nations was not merely due to his military might but was divinely orchestrated. This fear can be seen as a fulfillment of God's covenant with Israel, where He promised to protect and establish them as a powerful nation (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-10.htm">Deuteronomy 28:10</a>). The phrase underscores the theological theme that God is sovereign over the affairs of nations, using David as His instrument. This divine intervention is reminiscent of the fear that fell upon the nations during the Exodus (<a href="/exodus/15-14.htm">Exodus 15:14-16</a>). In a typological sense, David's role as a king who brings peace and security foreshadows the ultimate reign of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, whose kingdom will be established in righteousness and feared by all nations (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, David is the King of Israel, known for his military prowess, leadership, and heart for God.
