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

And Shimei … hasted and came down.] As hoping that he also should get pardon among the many; who were faulty too, but not so deeply as himself. It is good thrusting in where pardon is to be had.
