2 Samuel 23:6

But [the sons] of Belial [shall be] all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:

Ver. 6. But the sons of Belial.] Lawless, aweless, yokeless, masterless men, or monsters rather, such as contemn the word, and refuse to be reformed; untractable, incorrigible, such as were the Jews in Christ's time, and so continue to be.

Shall be all of them as thorns.] That bear no good fruit, but only pricks, to hurt those that meddle with them. These shall be thrust away, that is, powerfully proceeded against; they shall be stubbed up by the roots, and burnt, viz., in hell fire. Those refractory Jews, for instance, on whom wrath came to the utmost, because "they pleased not God, but were contrary to all men," 1Th 2:15-16 and the same is and shall be seen in Antichrist and his adherents, cast alive into the lake of fire. Rev 19:20
