Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 2 Samuel 19:1-43

THIRD SECTIONThe Restoration of David’s Royal Authority, which was now Endangered by Dissension between Judah and Israel and by the Insurrection of Sheba2 Samuel 19-20I. The Way opened for the Restoration of David’s Kingdom by Joab’s Reproof of his Immoderate Grief for Absalom. 2 Samuel 19:1-8 [Hebrews 2-9]1And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom. 2And the victory [deliverance]1 that day was turned into mourning unto all the people; for the people heard say that... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:1-8

Mourning Too Late 2 Samuel 18:31-33 ; 2 Samuel 19:1-8 What an awful day that was for David, seated between the inner and outer gates, scanning the landscape, and speaking now and again to the sentry posted above him. Did not the Spirit work an even deeper repentance than ever before, recalling the self-indulgence, the failure to watch, the lapse of fellowship? But was it not also an hour when David put his finger on the Covenant and asked God, notwithstanding all, to do as he had said, 2... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 19:1-43

The king's sorrow affected the people. They stole back into Jerusalem silently, instead of with rejoicing, while he was left outside. Once again his words tell of his agony, the deepest note thereof being still revealed in the thrice repeated "my son." In the midst of his sorrow Joab came to him, again politic, but unsympathetic. There are times when men must rise above the grief of their own repentance and act for the sake of others. This was so now in the case of David, and Joab told him so... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 19:1-7

Joab Rebukes The King For Dwelling Overmuch On The Death of His Traitorous Son Rather Than On Showing His Gratitude To Those Who Had Won Him Back His Kingship And Warns Him Of The Consequences (2 Samuel 19:1-8 a). David’s grief over the loss of his son was so great that it did in fact become an obsession, with the result that he began to behave very foolishly by ignoring the great victory won by his troops and shutting himself away from everyone in deep mourning, and this at the very time... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 19:1-43

1 Samuel 19:1-Ruth : . Joab induces the king to present himself to the people. 1 Samuel 19:9-Jeremiah : . The Return of David (J). 2 Samuel 19:9-Ezra : . The two parts of 2 Samuel 19:11 must be transposed with the LXX, giving the following: Absalom’ s death left Western Palestine in a state of anarchy; the obvious remedy was the restoration of David, so that men said, “ Why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?” And the king learned what was being said throughout Israel; and king... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Samuel 19:7

I swear by the Lord: this oath was either assertory of what he believed might in reason be expected, as likely in great measure to come to pass; or else promissory; or rather, minatory of what he by his influence could and would effect; and if so, it was much more than became him to say to his sovereign, and could only be excused by the circumstances, which at. this time might make it seem necessary: for David was indeed to blame in taking no more notice of their good service (however Joab... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:1-15

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES.—2 Samuel 19:1. Comp. 2 Samuel 18:33. The purpose of the informant was, “it seems, to explain to Joab and the army why the king did not come forth to greet his returning victorious warriors.” (Erdmann.)2 Samuel 19:2-3. “These men’s hearty participation in the sorrow of their beloved king, for whom they had perilled their lives, soon changed into gloomy dissatisfaction at the fact that the king, absorbed in his private grief, did not deign to bestow a look upon... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:1-43

Chapter 19David's grief for his son Absalom. David was there in his chamber wailing over Absalom.So they told Joab, David's really wailing over Absalom's death. And Joab came unto David and he said, All right now David let's cut this out. He said, These men have gone out and hazard their lives for you. And they've brought you victory over your enemies. But now they are sneaking back into town like they were criminals because of your great grief for Absalom, you're actually making them ashamed... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 19:1-43

2 Samuel 19:13 . Say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone. It is probable that Amasa had refused to fight against David; at least he had not distinguished himself in the rebellion. David, in making Amasa captain general, was desirous to humble the unjustifiable ascendancy of Joab. 2 Samuel 19:29 . Thou and Ziba divide the land. This was a breach of David’s covenant with Jonathan. Ziba had done great services for David in this war by his sons and his servants; but he had falsely... read more

2Sa 19:7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now. Ver. 7. Now therefore arise, go forth. ] Good counsel, but ill administered: like a good potion ill prepared, or not well sweetened. How much better Melancthon, who when he found on a time Luther overcome by his passions,... read more
