Psa 20:5 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 5. We will rejoice in thy salvation ] We expect help from thee alone; it is in thy cause we engage; and to thee , as our war is a just one, we consecrate our banners, inscribed with thy name. It is said that the Maccabees had their name from the inscription on their banners; which was taken from , mi camochah baelim Yehovah , "Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods?" The word being formed from the initial letters M, C, B, I, Ma Ca B I, whence Maccabeus and Maccabees . The words of this verse were spoken by David and his officers; immediately after which I suppose the high priest to have added, The Lord fulfil all thy petitions !
