撒母耳记下 19:41-42 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:40-43

David came over Jordan attended and assisted only by the men of Judah; but when he had advanced as far as Gilgal, the first stage on this side Jordan, half the people of Israel (that is, of their elders and great men) had come to wait upon him, to kiss his hand, and congratulate him on his return, but found they came too late to witness the solemnity of his first entrance. This put them out of humour, and occasioned a quarrel between them and the men of Judah, which was a damp to the joy of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:41

And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king ,.... A large number of them, the other part that did not come over with David, some of their principal men, who met him upon the road: and said unto the king, why have our brethren, the men of Judah, stolen thee away ; secretly, privately, and unknown to them, and were bringing him back to Jerusalem: and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over Jordan ? him, and his family, and soldiers. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:42

And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel ,.... Such of them as went down to fetch the king back, replied to the men of Israel that now met them, and objected to their conduct: because the king is near of kin to us ; being of their tribe, and his palace was within their borders, and therefore they were proper persons to bring him home: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter ? for bringing the king back, and being the first in it; for who so proper as they, not only to... read more

Wherefore then be ye angry for this matter ? - We have not done this for our own advantage; we have gained nothing by it; we did it through loyal attachment to our king. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:31-43

The facts are: 1 . Barzillai, having provided sustenance for David while he was at Mahanaim, and accompanying him over Jordan, is entreated to go and live with him at Jerusalem. 2 . Barzillai, having no relish for the kind of life which he thought prevailed at court, pleads age and infirmity and a fear of being an incumbrance to David, as a reason for not complying with his request, but asks that his own son Chimham may be permitted to go. 3 . David consents, promises to do for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:41

Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away? Why, that is, have they acted by stealth and without our concurrence? As they were discussing the matter, their decision should have been awaited, and David should not have crossed until formally invited so to do. The half of Israel consisted, probably, of the trans-Jordanic tribes, upon whom those on the west of the river looked contemptuously, and of Shimei and his Benjamites, and a few more in the immediate neighbourhood. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:42

The king is near of kin to us. The pronouns are singular throughout: "He is near of kin to me. Why art thou angry? Have I eaten … I have ten parts … Why didst thou despise me?" and so everywhere. This is much more piquant; but such personification is contrary to the genius of our language. Have I eaten, etc.? Saul had boasted of enriching the Benjamites ( 1 Samuel 22:7 ), but probably the speaker intended only to protest the purity of his motives. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 19:41

It seems that David and his whole party made a halt at Gilgal 2 Samuel 19:15; 1 Samuel 11:14, and possibly made some solemn agreement there about the kingdom. But while they were there, “all the men of Israel,” representatives from the tribes not included in “half the people of Israel” 2 Samuel 19:40, came up in great wrath at finding that the restoration had been accomplished without consulting them, and accused the men of Judah of unfair dealing. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 19:41

2 Samuel 19:41. All the men of Israel That is, those that were present. It appears that David, to gratify his own tribe, had marched on, not expecting the coming of all the great men of Israel, who were making themselves ready to wait upon him. And therefore, when they were come together, and found that the tribe of Judah were unexpectedly beforehand with them, they resented the slight put upon them; and being joined and supported in their resentment by the rest of their brethren who had... read more

2 Samuel 19:42 . The king is near of kin to us Of the same tribe with us, and therefore both oweth the more respect to us, and might expect more respect from us. Hath he given us any gift? We have neither sought nor gained any advantage to ourselves hereby, but only discharged our duty and testified our love to the king, and used all expedition in bringing him back, which you also should have done, and not have come by halves, and so coldly as you have done. read more
