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

The son of Saul, i.e. the grandson, 2 Samuel 9:3,2 Samuel 9:6. Had neither dressed his feet; by cutting his nails, and by washing his feet, which was usual in those hot climates, and very refreshing; and therefore now neglected, as becoming a mourner. Nor trimmed his beard; but suffered it to grow very long and disorderly, as was usual with many persons in a forlorn or mournful state. Nor washed his clothes; his linen clothes. This and the former were signs that he was a true and obstinate... read more

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

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

2 Samuel 19:8-30Then the king arose and sat in the gate.The restoration of DavidDavid, in his extreme and protracted sorrow for the death of Absalom, forgot to do justice to the attachment, sacrifices, and victorious valour of his friends. At news of this great and inopportune grief--no song of victory! no clear-shining eyes, no erect triumphant bearing!--“the people gat them by stealth that day into the city as people, being ashamed, steal away when they flee in battle.” A perilous ingratitude... read more

2 Samuel 19:24-30Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king.Mephibosheth an enigma of motiveAnd Mephibosheth, also, the son of Saul, came down to meet the king. Our too otiose English is unjust to Mephibosheth; or else it has taken Mephibosheth’s infirmity in his feet much too seriously. Mephibosheth was not so crippled in his intellect, at any rate, as to stay in Jerusalem till the king came home. He was too eager for that to congratulate the king on his victory. We all know how... read more

Mephibosheth: 2 Samuel 9:6, 2 Samuel 16:3 dressed his feet: Literally, made his feet, which seems to mean washing the feet paring the nails, and perhaps anointing or otherwise perfuming them, if not tinging the nails with henna; see note on Deuteronomy 21:12. Sir John Chardin, in his manuscript note on this place, informs us, that it is customary in the East to have as much care of the feet as the hands; and that their barbers cut and adjust the nails with a proper instrument, because they... read more
