The Treasury of David
by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
2. Thekings of the earth set themselves. In determined malice they
arrayed themselves in opposition against God. It was not temporary rage, but
deep-seated hate, for they set themselves resolutely to withstand the
Prince of Peace. And the rulers take counsel together. They go about
their warfare craftily, not with foolish haste but deliberately. They use all
the skill which artifice can give. Like Pharaoh, they cry, “Let us deal wisely with them.” O that
men were half as careful in God’s service to serve him wisely, as his enemies
are to attack his kingdom craftily. Sinners have their wits about them, and yet
saints are dull. But what say they? What is the meaning of this commotion?
