2 Samuel 19:8-43 ESV

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:10

BACK TO THE THRONE‘Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?’ 2 Samuel 19:10 The rebells had not hesitated to bring what they thought would be the good tidings to the king. Yet a plaintive cry went up from him when he realised the fullness of the news. Little could the people realise the joy of victory or what it meant, and they sent messengers to him one after another, and they held consultations between themselves; and then we come to these words: ‘Why therefore speak... read more

THE KING’S FERRY BOAT‘There went over a ferry boat to carry over the king’s household.’ 2 Samuel 19:18 I. According to old heathen mythology, there was a fabled river called Acheron, which the souls of the dead must cross.—Its waters were muddy and bitter, and old Charon, who ferried them over, obliged each one to pay a sum of money for the passage. In this fable there is a remnant of sound belief in the existence of the soul, after it has left the body, in another state of being. The very... read more

A GRAND OLD MAN‘And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim.’ 2 Samuel 19:31-Matthew : I. We have here a man who knows that he is old, but who is not distressed by the thought of it.—There are old men who do not know that they are old, or who seek to suppress their knowledge of it. Few things in the world are so pleasant as the sight of such a conscious, cheerful, hopeful old age as that of Barzillai, certain that it has not long to stay, but interested to the last in the best things... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 19:8-15

David Calls On Judah For The Restoration Of His Power Among The People (19:8b-15). The rebellion over, discussion began to break out all over Israel about yielding allegiance to David and hoping for forgiveness. They recognised now that they had made a treacherous, foolish and ungrateful choice. David meanwhile was ready to respond to their desires, but he was cautious of acting unless Judah was also involved. It was after all they who had first rebelled, and it was they over whom he had been... read more

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 19:24-30

David Discovers The Truth About Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 19:24-30 ). When we remember how shocked David must have been after his betrayal by his own beloved son we can understand why he now found it difficult to trust anyone who might do him hurt and undermine his position. And he was aware that any descendant of Saul was certainly in a position to do that. Thus when he met up with Mephibosheth, who had not accompanied him on his flight, and who had been charged by Ziba as having designs on the... read more

Barzillai, Who Had Provisioned David In Mahanaim, Is Rewarded By His Son Becoming A Member Of David’s Court (2 Samuel 19:31-40 ). Accompanying David in order to escort him over the River Jordan was Barzillai the Gileadite, a wealthy Transjordanian Israelite who had loyally supported David and had played a large part in provisioning him and his men at Mahanaim (2 Samuel 17:27-28), and would almost certainly have provided a number of warriors. Now he had the privilege of escorting David safely... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 19:41-43

Israel React Against What They See As The Favouritism Shown To Judah, and Judah’s Unwise Reply Results In A Further Rebellion (19:41-20:2). The failure of David to treat Judah and Israel equally exacerbated the problems within his kingdom, and the consequence was that when the elders of Judah replied to the elders of Israel with harsh words, it resulted in open rebellion. But we cannot hide from the fact that this revealed the underlying currents that were at work in a ‘nation’ which had on... read more

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
