2 Samuel 19:27 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 19:27

25 So it was, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, ^a“Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”

26 And he answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go to the king,’ because your servant is lame.

27 And ^ahe has slandered your servant to my lord the king, ^bbut my lord the king is like the angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.

28 For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king. ^aYet you set your servant among those who eat at your own table. Therefore what right have I still to¹ cry out anymore to the king?”

29 So the king said to him, “Why do you speak anymore of your matters? I have said, ‘You and Ziba divide the land.’ ”

30 Then Mephibosheth said to the king, “Rather, let him take it all, inasmuch as my lord the king has come back in peace to his own house.”

David’s Kindness to Barzillai

31 And ^aBarzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim and went across the Jordan with the king, to escort him across the Jordan.
