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

For thy servant doth know that I have sinned. ] Thus the fox taken in a toil looketh pitifully, but it is only that he may get out.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 19:20

20. The house of Joseph This designation is here used as synonymous with all Israel. In poetical and oratorical style this was a common term for Israel. Compare Psalms 77:15; Psalms 80:1; Psalms 81:5. It probably grew out of the fact that Joseph received the rights of primogeniture which Reuben by transgression lost. 1 Chronicles 5:1-2. read more
