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 19:9-20

Bringing the King Back 2 Samuel 19:9-20 Joab’s remonstrance, though expressed in rough and uncourteous phrase, was perfectly just. The royal troops, instead of being welcomed with acclamation, had slunk into the city, as if defeated, immediate steps must be taken to counteract their depression. Private grief must yield to public interests. The revulsion of loyalty to David began with the ten tribes; but the concurrence of Judah was essential, and it was secured by the mission of the two... 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 19:15-23

Judah Respond In A Positive Fashion By Coming To Gilgal In Order To Bring The King Ceremoniously Over The Jordan, And With Them Comes Shimei, Along With A Contingent Of Benjaminites, Seeking Forgiveness, And Ziba With His Fifteen Lusty Sons And His Twenty Servants, No Doubt Hoping To Further Ingratiate Himself With The King Before The Full Truth Was Known (2 Samuel 19:15-23 ). Judah responded promptly to David’s overtures and as a result came to Gilgal to meet the king. This promptness would... 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

Thy servant doth know that I have sinned; I do not excuse my sin, but with grief and shame confess it; in which case the Lord thy God is ready to pardon offenders, and so I trust wilt thou be. I am come the first; the sense of my former sin now hath, and whilst I live will, make me the first and most forward in all acts of duty and service to thy majesty. Of all the house of Joseph.

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
